«Love and sex on the phone with the non-existent Mark Caltagirone. Someone has to pay »- Corriere.it

It was known that the presence of Pamela Prati at Big Brother had a very specific purpose for Alfonso Signorini: to speak and put an end to the Mark Caltagirone case. That fake love story that has held court for months and months. Monday evening the time came and the host, after years of silence, asked Pamela to tell the truth in detail, thus introducing the topic: For some Pamela was a real victim, for others instead the showgirl has rode the wave to get notoriety. One thing for sure: she came out of this bad situation with broken bones. She ended up weighing 37 kg and she never had any more job offers. But now she is convinced to clarify in front of the public who felt mocked for the lack of clarity. Premise: even for the most skeptical, the story that follows here, very detailed, rendered by Prati in the episode of the GF on Monday evening is quite shocking, full of even very intimate details, of threats, of cruelty. Perhaps for the first time the word scam has a precise outline that leaves one dismayed.

The story begins. A question and answer between Signorini and Prati. Where did you meet Mark Caltagirone 4 years ago ?. In a restaurant. My crooks (they will always be called like that, crooks or executioners, during the evening, ed) invited me there. I haven’t seen him, they told me about Marco and told me they liked me. That he was following me on Instagram, that he had a woman with whom they had adopted a child – Sebastian with a tumor – but who had just broken up. They told me “why don’t you write him on social media?” I did, and then we moved on on whatsapp to flirt like two 18 year olds. I found a fragile, problematic man. He had told me that his woman had left him and that the child was in great pain. I had a bad childhood and he relied on childhood themes that are very delicate for me. Mark resembled me in frailties. We wrote beautiful things. But how can you fall in love with a man you’ve never seen? Why him he told me that he was the son of a boss, a witness of justice, adopted by the Caltagirone family.. I saw him on video call but in an unclear way. But we wrote to each other H24. Did you make love on the phone? Yes every night on the phone, yes. I have allowed myself in everything. Did you send nude photos? Yes, I did, he replied with nude photos, but without the face. Didn’t that upset you? No, I have all the videos of her. I fell asleep with the phone on the pillow, with her voice. But yours was crazy love … I know, but she made me feel alive. She wrote me good things, then started a great jealousy and always made me feel guilty. He was too possessive. I couldn’t do anything anymore. For 10 days I blocked it. Then, they convinced me, and I unlocked him and he changed a little bit.

At this point Signorini confesses that when the story became known I got a flash, feeling that the name of Mark Caltagirone was linked in some way to the Coppi. I have been the victim of such a thingwhen I was introduced to a certain Simone Coppi who made me lose my head. I called you Pamela, remember, and I told you: “Be careful, all a scam. But you didn’t believe me. I know Alfonso, I fought with everyone, even with my sisters, because he threatened me. Then a movie is shown that leaves you speechless, completely surreal: August 10 was Sebastian’s birthday and she stays in Rome alone to celebrate it. She can be seen on her terrace with cake, candles and balloons that she makes a video to celebrate the child between candles and cotillons. Then on November 26, Pamela’s birthday and Sebastian’s greetings arrive on whatsapp: Every day we felt together and she told me how he went to school. Then one day Mark sends me a picture of throat cancer, saying Sebastian hasn’t gotten worse. Rebecca arrives too. Mark sends me a message with a picture of a little girl who looks a lot like me. He writes to me that she has no parents and proposes to adopt her and I immediately say yes to her, crazy with joy (Prati has no children, and it has always been a regret of her, ed).

Why did you make fun of us all when you went to Mara Venier at “Domenica In” by saying that in the morning you dressed the children and took them to school?. And here is perhaps the most traumatic and cruel answer of all history (the message in the records of the Prosecutor’s Office). Those children wrote to me “you don’t want to talk about us, because we are bastards”. And when I read that sentence my blood froze. I was always called a bastard when I was a child because I didn’t have a father. I couldn’t cause this suffering to children. I’ve been there. And I lied to protect them. But today I say: thank goodness I went to Venier, because at least today I am here (in the sense that the bubo exploded, ed). Because my scammers have threatened me, isolated me. So you went to Venier at the request of the children? S just for that. In fact, after the episode they wrote me that I had been fantastic.

Then the marriage story began. Mark told me to go pick the dress. The crooks accompanied me. But today you know who this man ?. No, but I hope I know and know him, because they have to be ashamed. These are called affective scams. And there are people who kill themselves for these stories. I myself thought of taking my own life. Who thinks you have gained from this story ?. I didn’t get any money from this story. And my colleagues were the worst. They just judged me. Bagaglino has not confirmed me. A death trap was sewn to destroy me. But why did they want to destroy you? Because they are sick, bad people.

Signorini focuses on the highlight: Dagospia reveals that the wedding is a hoax and that Mark does not exist. Pamela: I thought it was a bitch … Even when I went to “Verissimo” and Silvia Toffanin asked me to show Mark’s photo, I left the studio and asked my executioners to do it, but they told me , no because he was wanted. Signorini: Did you know Sebastian instead ?. Yes, they brought it to me at a bar. I only found out later that that child was an actor. A child, however, has already been used for another scam. After years of silence you have told the truth, you have a way to reconnect with your audience. I have never betrayed my audience. If I told lies it was only so as not to hurt those children. I could never hurt children with all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren I have. Would you like to apologize to your audience? I would like to embrace it all.

When you became aware that it was all a hoax, what did you experience ?. Pain because such cruel people have even put the children in the middle. I thank my lawyer and my friends who helped me. I have suffered from anorexia and depression They wrote any nastiness.

In the studio, Orietta Berti and Sonia Bruganelli, while admitting the suffering of a woman who is naive, say they believe her, albeit with some perplexity, and she gets furious. Pamela reiterates that she lied because she was ashamed to tell people she loved a man she had never seen and to protect the children. Prati reveals that when I tried to leave Mark, Sebastian wrote to me “thank you, so let’s go back to the institute” (Pamela lived 8 years of her life in the institute, and pressing this button made her feel too bad, ed).

The word goes to the lawyer who is in the office and defends Pamela Prati: Now the thing in the hands of the judiciary. In the procedure we brought 70 thousand messages in 9 months as evidence. I listened to them and read them all before taking the case. Will anyone pay for this? The lawyer: So far only Pamela has paid. Not to mention the cruelty of two children who call her mom.

A story that from any point of view is sad and cruel. Impossible to think that Pamela Prati was complicit in all this. He would be a monster (of cruelty and acting skill). Even with some doubts, it really looks like a scam orchestrated by monsters. As they say: let’s hope that justice takes its course.
