The context of the controversy
In recent days, the entertainment world has been rocked by a controversy involving Diletta Leotta, host of Dazn, and Eleonora Abbagnato, star of dance and wife of former footballer Federico Balzaretti. During an interview, Abbagnato made statements that immediately attracted the attention of the media, insinuating that Leotta had been provocative towards her husband during their work together at Dazn.
These claims have generated a heated debate, with many taking sides.
Diletta Leotta's response
Intercepted by Valerio Staffelli of Striscia la Notizia, Diletta Leotta had the opportunity to respond to Abbagnato's accusations. With a smile, she denied having ever taken provocative attitudes towards Balzaretti, stating: "Malice is in the eyes of the beholder". This phrase, in addition to defending her professionalism, seems to be a direct jab at the dancer, suggesting that her statements are the result of unfounded jealousy. Leotta continued by saying that she has always worked with "great professionalism and lightness", underlining the importance of maintaining a serene work environment.
An invitation to female solidarity
Despite the tension, Diletta launched an appeal to Eleonora Abbagnato, inviting her and her husband on her podcast “Mamma Dilettante”. “We must be empathetic and supportive of each other,” she said, highlighting the importance of creating a support network between women. This invitation could represent an attempt to mend relationships and transform a controversy into an opportunity for dialogue and discussion. Leotta expressed her desire to get to know Abbagnato’s family better, emphasizing that she can’t wait to do a nice interview with them.
