Sanremo Debut: A Mix of Joy and Scrutiny

alessia Marcuzzi recently reflected on her experience as a guest at the Sanremo music Festival, acknowledging both the joy of participating and the unexpected wave of online criticism that followed. Speaking on Domenica In, Marcuzzi recounted her initial reluctance to appear on the Ariston stage, admitting that she traditionally preferred enjoying the festival from home with friends, engaging in playful predictions and commentary.

Despite her initial hesitation, Marcuzzi expressed gratitude for Carlo Conti‘s invitation and emphasized the genuine fun she had during the event. She described her on-stage persona as authentic, perhaps even a bit too light-hearted, but reflective of the positive atmosphere backstage.”I was myself: light -hearted, sometimes a little too much, but at that moment I felt like this,” she stated, highlighting the supportive environment she experienced.

The Sting of Online Accusations

While Marcuzzi welcomes constructive criticism, she drew a firm line when addressing accusations of drug use that surfaced online following her sanremo appearance.”criticisms are fundamental,” Marcuzzi stated, “I never get offended, I never reply.” However, she expressed disappointment over comments suggesting she appeared to be under the influence. She firmly denied these allegations, stating, “But the truth is that I have never smoked in my life, I can’t aspire, I have never doped.”

Marcuzzi emphasized the potential impact of such accusations on her family, notably her daughter. “My daughter maybe reads ‘drug addict’, ‘drunk’ and I’m sorry becuase it is not the truth,” she explained, underscoring the importance of dispelling false narratives. This isn’t the first time Marcuzzi has faced such accusations; similar claims arose during her time on The Island of the Famous.

Moving Forward: self-Care and Personal Growth

Despite the negativity, Marcuzzi remains focused on the positive aspects of her life. When asked about her personal life, she shared that she is currently prioritizing self-care and enjoying time with her children and friends.”Per now I don’t look for a soul mate. I was in love, now I’m enjoying myself time for myself, which is good. With my children and my friends,” she revealed.

Marcuzzi’s experience highlights the challenges faced by public figures in the age of social media, where unfounded accusations can quickly spread and cause critically important personal distress. Her response serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible online behavior and the potential consequences of spreading misinformation.
