Maria DeFilippi

A 20-year-old young man who participated in Men and Women ended up in prison for sexual violence: Claudia Ciaramella, executive producer of the show, intervened on the matter

"Men and women", the famous Canale 5 dating show hosted by Maria DeFilippi, ended up at the center of a misunderstanding, promptly cleared up by its executive producer Claudia Ciaramella. Let's be clear: Leoluca Granata, a young man from the province of Modena, ended up in handcuffs and will have to serve 5 years in prison for sexual assault.

The facts date back to September 26 when the twenty-year-old with two other friends met a girl in a disco in Lugano and she then went to their house at the invitation of the three. The victim denounced them for repeated sexual violence and the Swiss court issued the sentence of imprisonment.

The producer of Men and Women sheds light on the episode

Many well-known Italian newspapers have titled and affirmed that Granata was a tronista di "Men and women" but in reality this was not the case. The executive producer took care of that Claudia Ciaramella to dispel the doubts, asking the newspapers for a correction because the XNUMX-year-old only appeared for a little more than a minute on the dating show as suitor. The tronista immediately discarded it and was framed for a very short time and then left the Canale 5 studio.

The press release was then shared on Instagram da Elisabetta Soldati, press office of Maria DeFilippi (the presenter does not have an official social profile). These are the words written as a caption to the post: "Note from the producer of @uominiedonne where it is clear that Leoluca Granata participated as a suitor in a single episode of the talk Men and Women, where he was framed for about 1 minute and then was immediately eliminated by the tronista. Thanks Betti Soldati".

Sabrina Ferilli, friend of De Filippi, commented the post of the Soldiers"Right! But then even if one had been broadcasting for 10 seasons, what would it change ?!".
