Antonio Medugno, Signorini’s accuser: «Messages and advances at his house, but I slept in another room. The media storm? I just lost it.”

The story of the 27-year-old Neapolitan who denounced the host: «My manager at the time said: if you’re in, we’ll go to the GF, if you’re not in, he’ll destroy you. But I wasn’t the one who made the story public.”

If you ask him why he decided to come out and tell very personal and intimate facts like those of the chat from three years ago with Alfonso Signorini, Antonio Medugno he doesn’t think about it for a moment: «It’s something I carried inside me but I didn’t have the courage to talk about it not even to my best friend, my girlfriend or my parents because I was ashamed. When it all came out, without my wanting it, I had to talk about it.”

In the complaint filed by his lawyers, Cristina Morrone and Giuseppe Pipicella, we read that the acquaintance with Signorini dates back to March 2021 when Medugno he aspired to participate in Big Brother VIP hosted on Mediaset by Signorini himself. A was born report via chat to which he says he responded at the suggestion of his manager at the timetoday Fabio Baglivo follows him.

«He sent very strong, fiery messages that culminated in an invitation to his house. Piscopo told me “If you go to bed with us we’re on a horse and we enter the GF, If you don’t go it will destroy your career“, but I would never have done it. I went to his house so as not to miss the opportunity to make him perceive that I was a good person, that I had other qualities, that I had values, convinced that for this reason he would make me work”. In the apartment outside Milan he would have suffered unsolicited and unwanted advances and physical contact. He states that, on Piscopo’s advice, he remained asleep anyway, locking themselves in another roomand that was their only meeting.

More messages followed until at the first audition in May, «It was OK, but I didn’t get into Big Brother VIP». Relations cooled until January 2022 when he was called for a new audition after which he was taken, “perhaps because Signorini feared that I had revealed his advances.” After Corona said there had been something between them, he decided to come out into the open. «I ended up in the media storm because of him and my old manager who sent him my chats. Corona apologized when I showed him the evidence that there had been nothing with Signorini.” To the suspicion that he wants to take advantage of the moment to advertise himself, he replies that «until now I led a quiet life, I continued to have 3 million followers on TikTok and I had contracts with important fashion brands. I didn’t need crap like that. I just lost it.”
