Storm at Dancing with the Stars 2023 with the violent clash between Simona Izzo and Selvaggia Lucarelli during the second episode of the Rai1 broadcast. After the appearance of Ricky Tognazzi, husband of Simona Izzo and protagonist of repeated skits with his wife, actress and director, the atmosphere becomes red-hot. When it is Selvaggia Lucarelli’s turn to analyze the competitor’s performance, controversy arises. “I can’t see you dancing and then the first thing I wish is Simona a happy name day” Izzo. “If the couple outside on the dance floor has too much light, the couple on the dance floor has no light. I like the way you dance, but you disappear because you are hidden by these little curtains that are useless frills and risk becoming dead weight,” says Lucarelli, expressing the position also shared by other judges. “Have you taken an accelerated psychology course?” asks Simona Izzo from the gallery.
“It’s all pure transparency, it’s our lives presented in a humorous way,” says Ricky Tognazzi. “I don’t think I’m taking the light away from Ricky. “We have been a couple for 38 years and I understand that this could bother Lucarelli, who has less stable stories…” says the actress and director. “You don’t tell anything about me, you tell a lot about yourself…” was the answer of the journalist from the jury.
“In the first episode you were very unfair to me and I didn’t say anything. You asked Ricky if the kicks he gave “on the track” were directed at me. Remember that women sometimes die from men’s kicks.” “What terrible stuff, are you throwing something as serious as feminicide in here?!” intervenes Fabio Canino. “Was it a joke? The lady,” urges Simona Izzo, “doesn’t know how to make jokes. Get yourself a joker…”
