Telecinco finally fires Alessandro Lecquio due to abuse allegations
The former Italian model has repeatedly stated that her ex-partner was an abuser.
BarcelonaAfter almost three decades working at Mediaset, the corporation has decided to dismiss Alessandro Lecquio, who will no longer be on the program he currently collaborates on. Let's see, from Ana Rosa Quintana's production company, Unicornio Contento. In October, his ex-partner Antonia Dell'Atte gave an interview to The Country in which she denounced how she suffered physical abuse at the hands of the Telecinco collaborator in the late 1980s. These statements were no secret: in the early 2000s, Lecquio had sued Antonia for alleged slander and for labeling him an abuser on television, but she has not been afraid to repeat these words on several occasions.
The day after the interview was published, Lecquio appeared on Ana Rosa Quintana's program, as usual, and said that he had referred his ex-partner's statements to his lawyer for appropriate legal action. No one said anything, and after an awkward silence on the set, he added: "That's all been said. Let whoever is responsible for the rest deal with it." None of the program's contributors commented, but after a month, in a meeting between Mediaset and Unicorn Content, they mutually agreed to dismiss the aristocrat, making Wednesday her last show.
This is a long history of accusations of abuse and mutual recriminations. On March 9, 1991, Antonia Dell'Atte first filed a complaint against her ex-husband, but she eventually withdrew it. As she mentions in the interview, in 1987 she was kicked while pregnant with her first child. After their separation, Lecquio filed the aforementioned complaint in 2003, which ended with the dismissal and archiving of the case due to lack of evidence, with the court ruling except truth, According to which, it is understood that Dell'Atte presented sufficient evidence to demonstrate that he was not lying in his accusations. In fact, four years earlier, on the famous Channel 9 program,Raffle, Lecquio shamelessly stated: "I have slapped women, it has happened to me, but they are slaps." light".
