Overview
- Marini announced on Storie al bivio that she has lodged a defamation querela against Elia, saying the remarks on BellaMà deeply offended her.
- She said the complaint was deposited last Saturday with legal assistance from attorney Laura Sgrò, according to her on‑air statement reported by Adnkronos.
- The dispute traces to the Jan. 6 BellaMà episode in which Elia contrasted herself with Marini and mouthed an insult about Marini’s personality.
- Reports note the epithet was not spoken aloud but was read clearly on lip movements, prompting discomfort in the studio.
- Marini had earlier responded on social media, also invoking a prior controversial on‑set episode involving Elia, and the matter now moves into legal channels with no public reply from Elia reported.
