Ilary Blasi: “Totti asked me to remove myself from social media, stop working and end relations with my friend”

Before photos of Noemi Pucci and Francesco Totti in the same stands at the stadium were published, it was the former Roma footballer who feared infidelity on the part of his wife. Suspicions arose after the broadcaster had coffee with a man, with the help of her hairdresser and friend, Alicia Solidani. In the documentary “Unica”, Ilary Blasi talks about her husband’s unacceptable request: “Francesco had my cell phone codes and found an exchange of messages between me and my friend Alicia. I must never see my friend Alicia again, I must delete myself from social media and stop working.” “.

Totti’s betrayal with Puki is the main subject of the Netflix documentary produced by Banijay Italia, available from Friday 24 on the platform, in which Blasi tearfully recounts the events that led to the end of his marriage: “I couldn’t believe that the man who… The one who was by my side for twenty years, the one who always said he loved me, the one who swore he couldn’t live without me, did something like this: I felt stupid, and then I felt disappointed, disgusted, and a little angry.

“He swears in front of me and in front of my children that it is all made up. “He swears it,” recalls the presenter, when she asked her husband for clarifications regarding the photos published by Dagospia, in which the current girlfriend of the former Roma footballer appeared in the stands, a few seats away from him. He reassured me. “You can say whatever you want, and I have nothing to hide. I went there like a suicide bomber, to look like a fool,” she says regarding the interviews she gave in which she attacked the press and accused it of spreading fake news.

One day, her daughter Isabelle came home with some toys: “She told me they were presents, and that she had met new friends. He told me the names and at that point I remembered from newspaper articles that this girl (Noemie, of course) had children. I started to connect the dots and did some Calls to find out the names of the children: Everything is identical. And I realize that it is all true. I wanted to see with my own eyes and I wanted to have proof, because Francesco would never admit it. On the evening of July 2nd he said that he had dinner. I managed to find the house where “The girl lives there. We arrived (she was with a friend, Giorgia, Francesco’s cousin’s wife) and the car was parked there. I took a picture of the car, but I remained silent.”

Hiring a private investigator turned out to be a counterproductive move: “The detective has been arrested, and we are in a tragic situation: so Francesco knows that I know. At this moment I say to him: Come on, I know everything.” He admits that he is cornered, but he talks about it as if “It was a light affair: he was good at talking nonsense. It was humiliating as a woman and as a mother.” The relationship ends peacefully for 20 years: “There were no major arguments, we had sex regularly, probably more than couples who have been together for a long time.”
