Despite everything, the controversy about it does not subside Laura Pausini and about refusing to sing Bella Ciao. The artist “nicely” invited by Le Iene did not show up, sparking further controversy on social media. But this time many defend it, especially for the moment deemed inappropriate after Giulia Salemi’s monologue. The latter excited a great deal, and perhaps Pausini need not be questioned.
Laura Pausini did not accept Le Iene’s invitation
Of all TV shows in Italy, Le Iene has always been characterized by a certain irreverence — or even persistence, if you prefer. Already in the last episode, the name Laura Pausini was mentioned, now inevitably linked to the refusal to sing Bella Ciao in a well-known Spanish show, El Hormiguero. Although the artist herself intervened and put the question in a nutshell, The hyenas didn’t give up.
While the opening of the October 11 episode, Teo Mammucari and Belen Rodriguez immediately captivated viewers and mentioned Pausini and the invitation, which in the end he would not have accepted. But that wasn’t what triggered the fans of the show on social media, but the moment in connection with one of the most beautiful monologues ever brought to the stage: Giulia Salemi really moved everyone, between shudders and a few tears that she allowed herself at the end.
Because the dispute about Laura Pausini broke out on social media
The show Le Iene always has an important monologue in every episode. This time the burden and the honor fell to Giulia Salemi, of Persian origin. Center stage, the TV host and social media correspondent wanted to send a message to Iranian women. He told that story of his mother, Faribaand the escape from Tehran in 1978.
Today, many – and many, like Massimiliano Ossini live on TV – cut hair in support of Iranian women. Words and sentences that delighted the audience: Salemi was convincing on social media. By the end of the monologue, she too was moved, which turned out to be truer than ever.
However, the moment was turned on its head shortly after when Salemi started singing Bella Ciao along with Le Iene, Teo Mammucari and Belen Rodriguez. “We sing it in the studio“, And so it was. The empty seat, which should have been filled by Laura Pausini, has caused some controversy. “Why spoil such a perfect moment‘ someone asked on social media, followed by other similar comments. Rodriguez, meanwhile, admitted Laura didn’t join them. The curtain should have been nice and light. However, this did not happen.
The intervention of Laura Pausini
Although Pausini Le Iene has not yet responded publicly – and perhaps she never will – the reality was that she had already weighed in on the controversy. “I wanted to avoid being dragged along and exploited,” she said in a lengthy message on Twitter. Anyway, the people of social media have spoken out: full support for Giulia Salemi, but not for the context. Now it’s time to move on.
