It all came from a “fool” that Linus uttered live on Deejay Gioca Italia and from a video defense from Jody Cecchetto to his father. Then there was a back and forth between those directly involved: Linus And Claudio Cecchetto. It was known that there was bad blood between the two, but in the last few hours the hatred flared up again due to a sarcastic joke that Linus made live on Radio Deejay. “Rai Uno's ratings were very bad, obviously there was something very uninteresting there,” said the DJ, referring to the show “People from Cecchetto”. documentation about the talent scout and the big names in music and entertainment that Cecchetto discovered.
The words spoken by Linus in the episode were not liked by Claudio's son Jody, who found the DJ's sarcasm disrespectful. “This 'idiot' is the person thanks to whom you essentially exist and exist Radio DJ“, so I don't even think it's that stupid without considering everything else,” Jody Cecchetto replied in an Instagram video, thinking about closing the matter. But one after the other the statements from Claudio Cecchetto and Linus and Lumpen came flying.
Claudio Cecchetto's answer
When asked by Corriere, Claudio Cecchetto tried to tone it down: “These attacks came from him. It's not in my nature to attack anyone.” Then he remembered how things ended between him and Linus in 1995. “Radio Deejay was my radio, founded with my money and that Conditions I couldn't stay. Linus decided to do this and became an employee of the L'Espresso Group. He chose to be on the side of the strongest. But I don't want to fuel non-existent dualism, even today I say that my antagonists were other than Linus,” explained the talent scout, recalling the fame of his radio when it was still the Deejay's Gang, a hotbed of ideas and talent .” Gerry Scotti, Jovanotti and Fiorello exchanged views, opinions and visions at the beginning of their careers. The documentary was very much about this group of people who, as I said, have come a long way and are still very important today. So I tell Linus he did it reduced all these fantastic people. The auditorium doesn't count.
Linus' answer: “He always denigrated me”
To respond to Cecchetto's statements, Linus chose the same website, the Corriere, with an open letter in which he presented his truth, but in much harsher tones: “I worked with him for ten years, he was the boss, I was a Boy.” I owe all my success to him and I have written and explained him at every opportunity. Of course we were never nice to each other, but I never made any statements against him, unlike him who never missed that was a pro denigrate meBut I understand the frustration at how the radio station he founded and gave up is booming.
Then came the harshest accusations: “He decided to blackmail the company to which he had sold the radio four years earlier.” Until the statement of the 'fool', which was used directly against Cecchetto: “How should I have defined someone, who, with meticulous and scientific care, shoots a celebratory episode about “our years”? mean Does he avoid mentioning my name all the time? That was enough, but the fools could not understand it.
