The famous singer tells his version of the facts to clarify what happened when he jokingly touched on a friend and colleague’s B-side.
TO It’s not the arenaTV program hosted by Massimo Giletti on A7, Memo Remigi He told in detail what happened during his last appearance on television and what happened to him shortly after.
The presenter showed the video of what happened: during an episode of Today is another DayShow presented by Serena Borton on Rai 1Memo Remigi slides his hand along the sides Jessica Morlacchiand then lands on his butt.
He immediately removes his hand from there and repositions it on his side. After this incident, the 84-year-old was fired by Rai on the spot. This is how Massimo Giletti began his interview with Memo:
“Memo Remigi is one of the most important voices in our music, but he is also known as a gentleman in ‘our world’. He has a story that speaks for him, but he ended up at the center of a scandal that’s still being talked about.”
Before watching the video, Memo Remigi wanted to say: “It’s a gesture I shouldn’t have done, I apologized to everyone. First I want to make one thing clear. Obviously I made that stupid gesture,” the singer continues, while Massimo comments on the video. The well-known artist then wanted to tell the much-discussed video in his own words:
“I treat her so confidentially. [..] We’ve been working together for a few years. A great complicity, a great friendship (regarding Morlacchi ed), she also organized my birthday, she is a very witty, very funny girl. I had my hand on her shoulder, then, playfully, not thinking that I could create all this chaos, her hand slid onto Jessica’s buttocks, she gave me a little slap on my hand, took my hand and ‘sat here before “.
Remigi soon wanted to make it clear that if Morlacchi had taken him aside to ask for explanations for his not-very-kind gesture, he had no doubts he would humbly apologize.
But that never happened and Giletti then asks him if he thinks Jessica didn’t do it because she was intimidated by her so famous colleague. Memo replied: “I cannot be in awe of myself because I have always made myself available to everyone, to her, to all the friends with whom we have shared these two years of daily work.”
Anyway the October 21 It’s a date Memo Remigi will never forget: he made an unforgivable mistake and was punished by the Rai company, albeit not entirely appropriate for a man 50 year career on the shoulders.
In fact, Remigi discovered that he was fired on the spot because Serena Bortone revealed this during the live broadcast of her show. So Memo did not hear the news privately, but publicly; This action injured him so much that he became ill and had to be taken to the hospital urgently.
Memo commented, “When I heard this announcement that was made like this, I felt bad! I had some health issues because I never expected a punch like that!” Giletti, then asks Memo if he noticed after the news that his career had been destroyed in a very short time and Remigi replies:
“Yes, I’ve had a 50-year career and I’ve never had a chance. In all the programs that I’ve done, because I’ve also led programs and when I’ve led them, I felt a sense of collaboration, of friendship with the working group. And if something happened, we talked about it.”
