The battle between Jacobs and the agency that took care of his image rights and communication (which is headed by Fedez’s mother) also continues with posts on social media.
The legal battle with Fedez’s entourage it’s only the beginning, but Marcell Jacobs he seems to have quite clear ideas about what needs to be done. And to make it clear who they will be dealing with the lawyers of Doom Entertainment (the agency of the artist’s mother, downloaded from Jacobs after a series of episodes that led to an irreparable fracture), the Olympian seemed to want to dot the i’s again. As? Listing all the silverware in the house in a post that for some represented a clear “coded message” to those who took care of its image until some time ago.
The post: “Don’t give up at the first difficulties”
Jacobs he showed up yesterday with a post on X which didn’t leave much room for interpretation: he listed all the titles won in his career, but also and above all all the defeats, injuries and problems with which he has had to deal practically for a decade now.
And then he added a phrase that seemed perfect to flesh out the dose: “I write all this to tell you about don’t give up at the first difficultynot to give up when everything seems to be going badly, to resist and keep fighting, to truly believe in what your dream is and face all the difficulties that life will throw at you! It’s only with dedication, hard work and focus on the goal can help you achieve your dreams, and you can do it too! Because I believe in you!”.
Among the various answers, the one from his relay teammate and friend was hilarious Philip Tortualso fresh from triumphs at the European Championships in Rome: “But do you collect?” .
The legal battle (with related skirmishes) is only just beginning
The evil ones saw us a clear reference to the story he is involved with the agency. Jacobs, in an interview in January 2023, he strongly criticized the communication and image agency headed by Annamaria Berrinzaghithe mother of Fedez. The accusation was that of not having promoted in any way the image of the athlete and the championespecially taking as an example the episode that happened after the victory on 1 August 2021 in the Tokyo 100m finalwhen Marcell stated that “For 24 hours no one spoke: evidently because of those who worked there it was more important to go to the seaside, instead of celebrating that triumph.”
Words that triggered the agency’s reactionwhich addressed itself with its lawyers to the competent offices suing Jacobs for aggravated defamation. For this reason, the Olympic champion’s post seems to prefigure a sort of response towards his former agency: listing all the titles won, as well as all the obstacles overcome during his career, he wanted to make it clear how much his real value is and how much (in his opinion) he deserved much different treatment in terms of communication. Jacobs at the time he said of having linked up with Fedez’s mother’s agency “also to receive indirect publicity”. In the end, perhaps in the most unexpected way, that publicity arrived anyway.
