Today, during the episode of Mattino 4, Federica Panicucci and Roberto Poletti discussed the topic of paparazzi and the British royal family. Among the guests in the studio were Roberto Alessi and the celebrity photographer, Andrea Alaimo. Panicucci wondered if Alaimo had recently made any exclusive press shots, asking specifically if he had sold any of his photographs to Roberto Alessi for Novella 2000.
Alaimo revealed that he has suggestive photos of a famous presenter with a man. He described the story as an interesting and rather recent scoop, referring to a well-known woman, recently single, who has started an intimate friendship with a newly married man. He confirmed that some photos are already available.
Faced with this information, Panicucci exclaimed, “Let’s not mention names!” Alessi then revealed, “She’s a very popular colleague of yours. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, so I won’t say anything else.” Although intrigued, Panicucci asked if she was a colleague from Mediaset or Rai. She also warned her colleagues about the presence of photographers everywhere.
Finally, the director of Novella 2000, Alessi, said: "I don't think there is any truth in this story. I would never reveal Michelle Hunziker's name, because I am a gentleman."
The presenter was taken aback and asked to avoid mentioning names (even though the damage had already been done): “No, no, no, no, don’t mention names”. The magazine Gente released photos of Michelle Hunziker in the company of Karius, Leotta’s husband. In reality, Michelle is one of Diletta’s closest confidants and was even a guest at their wedding.
