Matteo Paolillo, the actor of Mare Fuori, ended up at the center of the controversy after he denied a photo and an autograph to a young Paralympic athlete who remained outside her dressing room waiting patiently for him in the rain at the Concertone on May XNUMXst and in his wheelchair.

Bad episode for Matteo Paolillo, the singer as well as actor of the successful Neapolitan series "Mare Fuori", who yesterday, along with many others, was at May Day concert in Rome. An event that, for the second year in a row, was bathed in water.

What happened? According to what was told by the father of Sarah Vargetto, a well-known Paralympic athlete, al Messenger, the young woman would have waited for a long time in the rain, sitting patiently in her wheelchair and with a lot of dad Paul who held them above the umbrella to keep them from getting wet, that his idol, Matthew Paulillo, came out of his dressing room to take a picture with her and, perhaps, even sign her autograph.

But unfortunately a member of Matteo Paolillo's staff not only did he reply that "the actor didn't like it", but he also "rejected her brusquely".

Matteo Paolillo, comes the actor and singer's answer "I'm not responsible for my staff."

Il father of Sara Vargetto, after the controversies raised following the account of the attitude taken by theactor and singer of Mare Fuori, later said that, in the end, they managed to take the photo, but "after a very long time waiting".

Reached by the media this morning, lo Matteo Paolillo's staff denied granting an interview, but, in return, gave one handwritten statement by the actor and singer:

“I am sorry for the news that is circulating and I am more sorry that someone has spoken on my behalf. I was in the dressing room getting ready and the staff at various times let some people come in to take pictures. Only after my performance did I become aware of these controversies that are absolutely distant from my habits. Participating in this concert was wonderful for me especially for having met a wonderful audience in the rain who welcomed me in a splendid way.”

No word spent on the '"accident" had with Sarah Vargetto, even if, after what was told by father of the Paralympic athlete in the interview with "Il Messaggero", there was no lack of criticism of theactor and singer of “Mare Fuori”.
