To then continue: “But no insults, dear Mr. Benigno. I don’t accept insults. I am 58 years old, I have heard many insults in my life. I built myself armor. Yet it’s not easy. Even today, certain offenses hurt me. I decided not to get used to it, to react every time and I do it this time too. I do it for me, I do it for the people who love me, for people like me. I do it for all the people who believe in respect and civility”.

At the end of the video, the presenter explained that she will not report Benigno for what happened: “I don’t do it, especially with respect for your son, because I know that the economic situation is not prosperous and I don’t feel like making him pay for things in which I have nothing to do. My only lawyer will be, as always, my conscience. And now, Mr. Benigno, you will be able to write whatever you want on social media.”
