Diletta Leotta breaks the silence. Here is what she said After months of silence Diletta Leotta, with a post on instagram, answers to the accusations of haters and turns against the trash journalism of which she has been protagonist in recent weeks.

More than friendship, the relationship between Diletta Leotta and Ryan Friedkin would have been going on for months without any doubt: the weekly magazine Chi is sure of it and published the picture of the kiss between the sports journalist and Can Yaman.

Despite Leotta's denials, the photos leave no doubt: the photos date back to last December when the female face of Dazn on 'radio gossip'.

The post by Diletta Leotta on Instagram

I've always kept quiet until now. And, perhaps, I was wrong. I was under the illusion, in fact, that sooner or later good information would get the better of trash journalism. So I suffered the daily gossip-poison drop; the picture-takers under my house and on scooters behind my every move; the drones outside my windows. But now I'm getting a little tired of it.

I say this because reading the fake news clicks that are reserved for me on a daily basis, anyone can think that I am a man-eater, a woman incapable of love. And this is unacceptable. Don't tell me, in fact, that this is the price to pay for success. Or that I'm looking for it and I'm looking for it because of makeup, shapes, clothes worn, photos posted. All choices that fall within the sphere of individual freedom, right? And individual freedom, with respect and consideration for others, must be respected, right? I don't offend or judge anyone.

Diletta Leotta: "Explain to me why, then, a woman cannot have friends, but always and only lovers. Why is it that if I meet a nice guy twice for an aperitif people immediately talk about new love? Why, if I make a commercial with a footballer, do people insinuate for months that we are a secret couple? Why, if I date a handsome actor and we are happy, does it have to be an invented story? And why if, in respect of the lockdown, I give up a wonderful trip abroad is there talk of crisis between us?"

I've put up with it all so far, learning to laugh about it at times. But I reflect on the fact that no celebrity, talent, public figure, whatever you want to call it, the male is the object of morbid journalistic attention in the private sphere as is a woman in film and TV..

Diletta Leotta: " Can I say that I am tired? Also out of respect for the readers deceived by ill-informed journalists. And for love of the people who are next to me and who are often hurt because of falsehoods about me. And also for love of my grandmother, who at eighty years old believed, mistakenly, everything written in the newspapers".
