The lesson in dignity, this time, comes directly from a stage. Emma Marrone, on tour throughout Italy, during the stage of Azzano Decimo, in the province of Pordenone, took the floor and, with her usual frankness, he replied to those who, lately, had criticized his look and even his appearance.
“Who knows what they’ll write about my body tomorrow on social media, that it’s not good. I don’t care.” And she turned to “especially to young girls, those who still have to live a little to have strong shoulders and as big as I have them»: «Don’t follow certain things. Every body has its dignity, every body has its beautyperfection does not exist and if it does, a surgeon has done it, believe me.”
The singer took advantage of her visibility to launch an appeal against the body shaming: «Show yourselves without shame, without shame, like I do. I don’t give a damn what they write, I didn’t get to 40 to have four ignorant people tell me how I should dress». And again: «I’m proud of my body. This body has fought a lot of battles and if I want to go naked on stage I think I can afford it, no matter what. Always feel free and free to express yourself as you see fit for yourselves. Whoever he judges is because he probably has such a broken life that the only thing he has left is to speak badly of others.”
And, finally, an invitation: «Always be proud of yourselves and never have the shame to show your body for what it is. We are here, we breathe, we are alive, ed it’s nice to show ourselves as we are, even if there are flawsindeed the defects make us marvel at what we are. Trust me.”
Emma Marrone has been taking a stand against the body shamingwhat she suffers and what she sees around her. When, in 2022, a blogger had rejected her look at the Sanremo festival («If you have a large leg, avoid wearing fishnet stockings»), she had sent a very clear message: «Good morning from the Middle Ages, where someone expresses a pure comment body shaming with a language politically correct, which I don’t know which is more embarrassing or boring. Your body girls is perfect as it is, dress as you want and show her those important legs, with fishnet stockings and a miniskirt. Love and respect your body, whatever it is. Even today it seems clear to me that it is necessary to talk about feminism. What I can tell you is don’t listen to these kinds of comments. People forget that words carry a lot of weight and that not everyone can handle them. There are those who fall into an endless black hole for these same words. I am now going back to doing a lot of beautiful things, but it was necessary for me to say this because we can no longer remain silent in the face of the fact that anyone can speak about another person in such an incorrect way.
