“We are against abortion in all its forms”, These are the words spoken by Alfonso Signorini live at “Big Brother Vip“On the episode finale aired on November 15 on Canale 5. Words that, as easily imaginable, they generated criticism and indignation. But what happened in the reality show? The host jokes with the competitor Giucas Casella: his dog would have become pregnant, she invites him to accept the children on the way but also the “dad”.
The atmosphere is amused: “I want you to welcome Ciro into your big family, because he needs a family. Ciro is the Maremma shepherd who got Nina pregnant. He got your dog pregnant ”. Casella’s response was quick and brings up abortion: “We need to see if she got pregnant. She may even have an abortion. He is a big dog, it can happen. I think.”
Signorini changes tone and pronounces the controversial sentence: “But if you are expecting seven puppies, nothing but pregnant! But why do you have to bring up this dog abortion thing. Bruganelli wants one, the Fox one, everyone wants dogs. We are against abortion in all its forms, among other things, even that of dogs we do not like. But we also don’t like the natural one, a natural abortion is not a blessing from heaven, even if it is that of a dog. “
Signorini uses the plural maiestatis, an indefinite we: the audience and in the studio at home could be against the words spoken live. In the background the columnist Sonia Bruganelli he agrees with the landlord: “Exactly”. The conductor’s anti-abortion position has prompted numerous comments. The words of the journalist should be noted on the social networks Wild Lucarelli: “Dear Alfonso Signorini, I don’t know in whose name you think you speak, but WE voted in favor of abortion in a referendum that is my age, so do me this favor: speak for yourself and for your body, since it represents neither the country nor the body of women“.
This afternoon, November 16th, the production company of the reality Endemol Shine Italy has released a press release via social media. “In yesterday’s episode of Big Brother Vip, Alfonso Signorini expressed his opinion on an important and sensitive issue such as that of abortion, which is a right of every woman enshrined in our legal system. While respecting the opinions of everyone, like Endemol Shine Italy we express our distance from his personal position. In all communities and in all work groups, opinions can be different, and Big Brother has always stood out for being attentive to all the evolutions of society and respect for civil rights ”, reads the note.
Soon after, the same host replied by telegraph via Twitter (where he has the private profile), clarifying his position. “Among the civil rights I’ve always fought for are the respect and defense of freedom of thought. A principle that we defend, indeed I defend, with absolute firmness. Regardless of my work groups ”, the website reports it with a screenshot Trash Italiano.
Dear Alfonso Signorini, I don’t know in whose name you think you speak, but WE voted in favor of abortion in a referendum that is my age, so do me this favor: speak for yourself and for your body, since you do not represent neither the country nor the body of women. pic.twitter.com/n7exQLzfXt
