Barbara D’Urso’s On-Air Clash With Judge Selvaggia Lucarelli Roils Ballando con le Stelle

The confrontation revived tabloid claims that rivals see D’Urso as benefiting from special treatment.

Overview

  • During the November 22 Rai1 broadcast, Barbara D’Urso and Selvaggia Lucarelli engaged in a heated exchange immediately after D’Urso’s praised routine with Pasquale La Rocca.
  • Lucarelli pressed D’Urso to address critiques and “give a bit of truth,” while D’Urso insisted she was there to dance, decried what she called verbal attacks, and labeled interruptions as rude.
  • Host Milly Carlucci tried to defuse the dispute by noting a “wall of incomprehension,” but the exchange continued with pointed remarks about authenticity and audience support.
  • Fresh gossip coverage, citing the weekly Gente and relayed by Corriere dello Sport, reported that Filippo Magnini, Martina Colombari and Nancy Brilli complained about D’Urso receiving more rehearsal time, though Brilli previously denied grievances when asked.
  • D’Urso has avoided formal interviews and stayed active on social media, with entertainment press indicating she is set to speak soon with Mara Venier on Domenica In.
