Two weeks after the Benigno case, disqualified prematurely from the Island of the Famous without the reasons having ever been clarified, Vladimir Luxuria aired the images which had remained under lock and key until now. After announcing the matter at the beginning of the episode, Luxuria waited for him to get close to midnight to announce to the public the images which then led to the disqualification of the castaway. “As you know, Benigno was removed from the island days ago because he was the protagonist of incorrect behavior – said the presenter – contrary to civil coexistence and respect between people”.
Luxuria therefore justified the production’s change of decision, not mentioning the ratings element which, in this game, will certainly have had an impact: “It wasn’t the case and in support of the decision there are I imagine that prove what happened. We didn’t want to show them, but this choice was contested by the person directly involved, who in recent days attacked the program and the entire working group. Here it is we are forced to show them to you.” The reference is to the various interviews and statements released by Benigno, including to Fanpage.it, in which the actor essentially said: “They wanted to get me out”.
The video of the near fight between Benigno and Artur
In the images you can see Benigno involved in a fight with Artur, who he accuses of being inactive and doing little, with unfriendly tones towards him. Benigno’s attitude during the verbal clash appears almost threatening, while Artur tries to respond without reacting to the provocations of the other, who accuses him of talking behind his back and not having the courage to say things to his face.

Then the tone rises even more and the two almost come to physical confrontation when Benigno gets dangerously close to Artur and first puts his hands around his neck, before then taking a stick and almost throwing it at the other castaway.
Luxuria’s comment: “I wish Francesco to understand the origins of his aggression”
We then return to the studio and there is the closing comment on the Luxuria story: “Nothing can justify things of this kind, like putting your hands close to another castaway, or taking a stick. In other times we would perhaps have dedicated more time to the matter, but we preferred it this way because these are things that shouldn’t be dedicated more time to than necessary”. The presenter then adds:
I tell Francesco that you know how much I cared about your presence, how much I was taken by the story of your childhood, of the island you had already experienced. In recent days you have also made fun of me on social media, but I want to give you some advice as a friend: get to the bottom of the reasons for your aggression and best wishes.
