Today in bookstores comes Che Stupida, Ilary Blasi's book that tells “her truth” about the end of her marriage to Francesco Totti. The film released by Mondadori follows the documentary Unica on Netflix, in which the showgirl showed her tears while telling a story in which a misunderstanding about an alleged betrayal led to a breakup with the former AS Roma captain. Meanwhile, Cristiano Iovino, who was summoned to court by Totti in the separation case, claimed in an interview that what Blasi said about him was false and that the two had an “intimate acquaintance”. Today Selvaggia Lucarelli writes a non-review of the volume via Fatto Quotidiano, immediately admitting that she hasn't read it yet, but talking about the presenter's “separation strategy”.
The separation strategy
Lucarelli explains that Blasi acted this way because of Totti's first steps after the separation was announced. That is, the famous interview where he claimed he didn't cheat on him first and talked about Rolexes and bags. For this reason, Ilary came up with a plan. That means “rebuilding his reputation through well-paid media events and signing long-term contracts with Netflix and Mondadori while Totti quietly played padel.” No free interviews in magazines, newspapers or Instagram stories to defend himself.” But management the separation “in the style of the nineties”, selling his story to the big media and big publishers and “taking advantage of the misfortune, as the most paradisiacal stars have always known how to do”. Sell every single part of the separation for a higher price than a Rolex. So she emerged from it “not only richer, but also insidiously more human.”
The sincere woman drinks a coffee
Or like the sincere wife who has coffee with a stranger and finds herself in a story bigger than herself. While her husband falls in love with Noemi Bocchi, who is basically her doppelganger. «Obviously none of us ever believed in the story of simple coffee. It was more than clear that it was at least a cappuccino with double espresso, but that didn’t matter,” comments Lucarelli. The commentator also points out another important fact: at that moment and historical period, Totti's career as a footballer was over and the champion was unable to find himself in other roles in the world of football, which ultimately led to his expulsion . While Blasi's career was (and is) at its peak. “He happened to fall in love, she happened to be distracted.” For him to have a relationship, for her to flirt.
Beautiful Paracula
In short, Lucarelli concludes, “Che dumpa” is released today, but “Che gran sympathica paracula” would have been a more honest title. While waiting for the book to be published, Blasi was interviewed by Corriere weekly magazine 7 and by Silvia Toffanin at Verissimo. In both cases he sent peace signs to Totti and at the same time stated that he no longer recognized him. Although it's hard not to notice that Iovino's interview (and the subsequent revelation of the friendship between him and Alex Nuccetelli, Totti's friend and confidant) both took place on the eve of the book's publication. The communication battle continues. And as often happens in these cases in all areas, the truth becomes just an accessory to war.
