“I think about that unborn child every day”

Simona Ventura is one of the guests of ‘Belve’, the Rai2 cult programme, which airs today in prime time

ROME – “Not a day of my life goes by without a thought for this unborn child“. Simona Ventura thus responds to a question from Francesca Fagnani on the presenter’s decision to have an abortion at a very young age. Ventura is one of the guests of ‘Belve’, the Rai2 cult programme, which airs today in prime time. The interview leaves room for a touching story, when Fagnani asks if, going back, she would make the same choice again, Simona Ventura, shaken, declares: “I don’t know”. And when the presenter asks her if had the child’s father ever known about that pregnancy at the time, Ventura confesses: “Nohe never knew.”

To Belve, then, Ventura finally clarifies the matter rumor that has followed her for years about her alleged drug use: a slander that “forced her to take a hair test for a long time” just to prove she was clean. When Fagnani asks: “It’s true that you spread this rumor very loudly. How do you explain it,” Ventura responds, without hesitation: “It was spun by people who wanted to spin it” and adds: “The voice, not the drugs! And then I understood why…”.

In another passage of the face to face, there is a way to tell a funny gossip, the one about alleged flirtation with Adriano Galliani: “He was my boss at Mediaset. One day in a make-up room, where his ex-wife, Daniela, was also there, a make-up artist said “he’s with that… Simona Ventura, wrong name. From there the bomb spread… I was the last on the shelf, but from day to night…”, “red carpets”, jokes Fagnani and Ventura comments “eh… I go to the canteen, ten tables that called me, Simona is there place… at a certain point the more I said no, the more it was yes, so in the end I let it go and I was also pleased.”

And finally on peace with Mara Venier and Barbara D’Urso, which Ventura recalls having done with both on the same day: “October 23, 2023!” and Fagnani, amazed, comments: “On the same day? It was enlightened…”.
