Chiara Nava The confrontation between Selvaggia Lucarelli and Guendalina Tavassi continues to spark controversy on Big Brother VIP . After the on-air confrontation, the controversy spilled over outside the house and gained a new chapter: the messages the two allegedly exchanged before the reality show began . However, the versions given by the contestants don't match, reigniting the debate among viewers.
Everything revolves around Lucarelli's labeling of the contestant as a " bully ." This assessment hurt Tavassi, so much so that it provoked an emotional reaction during the broadcast . The contestant explained that she didn't want to be identified with such a label, especially considering how her children might perceive her watching the show.
Ilary Blasi also intervened , expressing doubts about the use of such a heavy word.
Guendalina Tavassi tells Marina La Rosa about her text messages with Lucarelli.
Guendalina Tavassi herself reconstructed the background to her previous contacts before the show , speaking with Marina La Rosa . The contestant said she had an exchange with Selvaggia Lucarelli before entering the house and that she had confided in her some concerns related to her participation in the reality show.
In particular, Tavassi reportedly expressed fear that his joking and ironic wit might be misunderstood by the public , projecting a different image than the one he feels he has. A concern that, in light of subsequent discussions in the House, takes on particular significance.
Guendalina's story, however, didn't convince Lucarelli, who decided to intervene directly to clarify how things went down. The issue no longer concerns only the judgement of the contestant's behavior, but also the content of the conversations that took place before the show began.
Selvaggia Lucarelli's version: "I have the messages."
During an Instagram Live broadcast, Selvaggia Lucarelli shared her own reconstruction of the contact she had with Guendalina Tavassi . The two had previously met on a podcast, and after learning of her participation in Big Brother VIP, the commentator wrote to her to ask how she was approaching the television experience.
According to Lucarelli, during that conversation Guendalina confided in her: “ Seavel, I'm terrified, I'm really scared because I'm afraid of being seen as Italy's bully .”
The contestant also reportedly expressed fear that being in Alex Belli and Valeria Marini's house could bring out her worst side . At that point, according to the commentator, a reassuring response arrived: " Guendalina, don't worry, play the self-deprecating card and everything will be fine ."
Lucarelli added that he has access to the messages exchanged , evidence that supports his reconstruction. The two versions therefore remain different, and, at least for now, the dispute appears unlikely to be over. Following the tensions on live TV, even the conversations prior to the reality show have become part of the controversy.
