Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni splits from partner over sexist remarks

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced that she has ended her 10-year relationship after audio and video recordings of her partner making obscene remarks to female colleagues were broadcast on a television program.

According to euronews, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that she has separated from Andrea Giambruno, her partner and the father of her daughter, who had become a primary topic of discussion in the national press due to his sexist comments.

Giambruno, who works as a presenter, had his remarks toward women broadcast on a television program in recent days.

NOT HIS FIRST INSTANCE OF SEXIST AND MALE-CHAUVINIST RHETORIC

Furthermore, Giambruno's controversial comments at various times regarding women, sexism, harassment, and rape had already caused his statements to come under scrutiny. Giambruno had sparked outrage recently by blaming women for the rape of two young women in southern Italy.

Giambruno had commented that if women wanted to avoid the "wolf," they should stay away from alcohol and avoid getting drunk.

These statements were interpreted as holding women responsible for sexual assaults. Andrea Giambruno (42) works as a presenter on a television program owned by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Meanwhile, a satirical current affairs program on the same channel broadcast behind-the-scenes video clips this week showing Giambruno using profanity on his show, touching his crotch, and making advances toward a female colleague.
