After publishing her first interview in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Chiara Ferragni discussed issues related to the Pink Christmas Pandoro incident with Fabio Fazio, an anchor and journalist for the Italian private television station Nove. Because of this, he agreed to his first TV interview.
In summary, she effectively reiterated that she had acted in “good faith” and had been misunderstood.
“I never want to undergo a surgery like this again,” she stressed. “I would rather continue to do philanthropy, full philanthropy or business work as I have been doing. That is what drives my two companies, which employ nearly 50 people. “All I can say is that I’m sorry,” she continued.
Criticism among Italians suggests that the interviewer could have been more harsh.
The host ignored the opinion of Kodacon, a consumer rights organization that had tipped him off the night before the show.
The association said Fazio could also ask more provocative questions, such as, “Is it true that your social profiles are counting followers that you may have purchased?” It should have been. But above all, if one were to argue that publicizing philanthropy creates a mimetic effect, Barocco’s contract with Pink Christmas Pandoro requires that news about Pink Christmas Pandoro not be communicated to the outside world in any form. Why was there no obligation to donate? “
Amid all the criticism, Massimiliano Dona (lawyer, podcaster, and consumer rights expert) also expressed his disappointment on his Instagram account.
“In an interview, Chiara Ferragni blamed the audience, her audience!? I don’t want to talk about that person here (and please refrain from hateful comments). How does this relate to consumers? “Should we have a dialogue?” he commented.
“We’ve gone from so-called ‘miscommunication’, a ‘gaffe’, to a self-goal of blaming people for ‘not understanding things correctly!’ I can’t find the words,” he added. .
At the moment, it is unclear what Ferragni will do next, or whether it would be better for him to continue to defend his position by returning to silence as he has done in recent months, or vice versa.
Meanwhile, her TV show “Che Tempo Che fa” reached 3 million viewers and a 14% share, and at its peak reached almost 4 million viewers and an 18% share. This shows that this topic is still important to many Italians. , despite her controversial actions and answers.
