In the last few days Elodie she was at the center of a much discussed episode: during her concert in Messina, a man attempted to take photos and videos of her with a zoom on her sensual movements from under the stage and the singer, after numerous reproaches, hit his phone.
The gesture went viral on social media and public opinion was split in half. There is also discussion at La Volta Buona and Lory Del Santo is the counter-current voice that attacks the singer.
What happened?
The scene took place while Elodie was playing Black Nirvana, immersed in her iconic tub of water.
A man approached the stage and started filming her from close range, with a low angle shot that focused on her movements and her body.
At first the singer ignored the situation, then she got annoyed: she stretched out her arm to push the smartphone away and, a few seconds later, with a half smile but a firm tone, she said:
“I’ll smash that cell phone!”.
After the video went viral, the protagonist of the scene came forward. In fact, it was not a fan, but Antonio Caffo, a journalist from Messina Today who explained: «I entered as an accredited photojournalist. With about ten colleagues we followed the first four songs, as per the rules. I suspected that Elodie was not aware of the presence of the press under the stage.”
To the controversy
The controversy also reaches La volta Buona, where Lory Del Santo he openly criticizes the singer: «If you go on stage and you dress a certain way, you have to know that they will photograph you like that. If you dress differently, the photos will be different. She is bold.” Words that immediately ignite the debate in the studio.
Other guests intervene to defend Elodie, starting with Caterina Balivo, who emphasizes the technical aspect: «Photos are taken, of course, but there are different ways. The shot from below is different from the front one.” Patrizia Rossetti, present in the studio, commented: «Shooting it from below is not professional. We don’t always blame women.”
Finally, director Riccardo Signoretti offers a different interpretation, pointing the finger at the organization of the concert: «Everyone’s work must be respected. The organizers made a mistake by allowing such invasive proximity. But Elodie should also apologize to whoever she was working with.”
