46-year-old Meloni and 42-year-old Giambruno have been a couple since 2015 (shortly after they met during a TV show), Politico.eu writes. Although the current prime minister and her national conservative party “Brothers of Italy” (“Fratelli d’Italia”) have always emphasized the importance of family values, she herself was in no hurry to put her marriage in the harbor, which often earned disparaging comments from representatives of the left opposition. Meloni has always emphasized that their seven-year-old daughter Ginerva has “grown up in a real family atmosphere”, but now this idyll has come to an end.
Meloni also said that her and Giambruno’s paths started to go their separate ways some time ago, and now “the last moment has come to admit it”, according to “AFP”. The host of the “Diario del giorno” talk show on the “Rete 4” television channel has long been known for his sharp tongue and sometimes ill-considered statements that cause a great stir in society. In August, he came to the epicenter of the scandal when he spoke about the rape of two girls that shocked the whole of Italy. stated that none of this could have happened if the girls had not been drunk. Much of the public condemned Giambruno’s victim-blaming, but Meloni stood by her partner, saying that his statements should be considered just like any instructional advice any normal mother would give her teenage daughters. Meloni stayed out of the ensuing discussion, saying it wasn’t her job to comment on what a professional journalist says on their shows, as she did when Giambruno made what many thought was a tactless comparison of illegal immigrants to a herd being driven down a certain route.
But Meloni’s patience is now full. Last week, the satirical program “Striscia la Notizia” (it is on another TV channel, which, however, belongs to the same “Mediasat” group) broadcast two scenes from behind the scenes of the filming of “Diario del giorno”. They leave little doubt that the journalist, thinking that the cameras and microphones are off, is trying to flirt with his colleagues, and is doing it in a very vulgar and obscene way. There are almost or open offers to become “another” Giambruno’s lover and participate in group sex – both threesomes and foursomes. In another post, the journalist expresses his hope that his partner will not mind if he scratches his crotch while talking.
Considering the fact that both television channels are part of the same concern, many in Italy do not understand why “Striscia La Notizia” had to reveal such unflattering things about its colleague, writes “La Stampa”. One of the most plausible explanations is that Giambruno had long annoyed not only his colleagues, but also the management of the concern with his actions, and now a good reason has appeared to get rid of him. He has already been suspended from hosting his show and since last week has “gone underground” without making any comments. On the other hand, the creator of “Striscia La Notizia”, Antonio Ricci, without going into more details, said in a conversation with the news agency “ANSA”: “One day, Meloni will understand that I did her a favor.”
