“At the Armani party, I got pawed on the butt several times. Now I know how women feel.” Complaint from the chief of the local police in Venice

“I had to gain almost 63 years to understand how a raped woman feels when they feel her ass.

Sophia Loren, Jessica Chastain, Rocio Muñoz Morales, Kasia Smutniak, Claudia Gerini, Benicio Del Toro, Gabriele Salvatores, Giuseppe Tornatore, Luca Guadagnino and Luca Argentero, Just to name a few. The first part of the evening, devoted to the fashion show, went well: the seats were distributed, the audience was carefully selected, the management was clear. The persecution happened when the guests left restaurant 89, where the fashion show was held, and moved to the third restaurant, number 91, where there was a bar, a music console, several sofas (very small and everyone was busy) and where snacks were served. And where, of course, there were quite a few crowds: after the show, in fact, other people were invited, there were at least 700 guests on the list. The crowd is inevitable. “It was there, at the cocktail party, that they groped my ass.”He saidGazettinocommander Agostini.

Written by: AlGazettino» he better explained what happened: “It was at cocktail time, I was with the mayor and others, we were talking, there was a significant crowd around, when at some point they felt my ass. The first time I pretended nothing happened, I thought it was a mistake. Then the second one, which I still haven’t noticed. And then more and more. THATin all five“. Do you have any idea who did it? “Lthere were a lot of people, but I am almost sure that it was a young guy, about twenty years old.. Is it always the same? “I would say yes.” And he didn’t respond? “The temptation was strong, but, as I wrote, out of respect for the form I wear, I decided not to put goals. I’m sorry I left without explaining I talked to the mayor and other people, but I couldn’t stand anything else and didn’t want to make a scene, so we just had to leave.” But he posted it on social media: why? “To express solidarity with women, the intention was only that. Now I understand how a woman feels when she is oppressed, when her ass is pawed. I realized it just now, and all my solidarity belongs to women.”
