Temporary stop to any collaboration with Mediaset. The decision was made by Alfonso Signorini, who decided to self-suspend after the storm arising from the accusations of Fabrizio Corona who denounced the existence of an alleged ‘system’ to enter the Big Brother house as a competitor or aspirant.
The decision was welcomed by the Cologno Monzese company which made it known that it was ready to “counter the spread of defamatory reconstructions”, at the same time calling on those who work for the company to “rigorous application of the code of ethics”. Lawyers Daniela Missaglia and Domenico Aiello, new lawyers for the host and director of the weekly ‘Chi’, claim that a “slanderous and defamatory campaign” is underway aimed at “destroying” the honorability of their client.
“The main person responsible for this surreal and virulent attack is known – they say -, a person who today would like to take on the role of judge and public prosecutor”. “To deal with these very serious illicit conducts, which are obvious to everyone, and above all the widespread reverberation they find in some nonchalant media – they say in a note -, Alfonso Signorini, a professional who has built an entire career as a journalist, author, director and television presenter with scruple, seriousness and self-sacrifice, is forced to suspend as a precaution all his ongoing editorial commitments with Mediaset”.
All television collaboration has therefore been frozen, starting from the possible hosting of the next edition of GF Vip, expected in March on Canale 5. In a note, Mediaset, welcoming Signorini’s decision, states that “it will act with determination in all locations on the exclusive basis of objective elements and verified facts to counter the spread of defamatory or slanderous content and reconstructions”.
At the same time, the company “reiterates that those who work for the company are required to adhere to clear principles of correctness, responsibility and transparency, as defined by the Code of Ethics, which is applied without exceptions. All investigations and checks are underway to guarantee compliance”. Signorini had filed a complaint for revenge porn against Corona after the former photographic agent in his program ‘Falsissimo’ had accused him of having carried out for years a “system” of sexual favors requested from participants of Big Brother or GF Vip or from those who aspired to enter the famous house.
