Siffredi addressed the situation publicly on social media, writing, “It’s been a difficult year, a year of suffering, especially for my family. But we still believe in justice!”. Meanwhile, Mediaset defended its reporting, stating it acted “with fairness, professionalism, and transparency, fully exercising their right to report on a story of clear public interest, especially in an era in which the vast majority of women still do not talk about or report the violence they have suffered out of fear”. This ongoing legal battle has cast a long shadow over the later years of Siffredi’s prolific career, adding layers of controversy to the production and consumption of his later works.
In response, Siffredi filed a defamation lawsuit in a Milan court against Mediaset (the broadcaster of “Le Iene”), the show’s producers and writers, and the 16 women who appeared on the program. According to Italian media reports, Siffredi’s legal team submitted a 200-page complaint refuting the allegations, including hours of footage from scenes filmed on set and the actresses’ signed video consent releases before and after shoots, in which they allegedly state that everything took place consensually. The Milan court opened a formal investigation as part of the defamation case. roccos psycho teens 20 rocco siffredi evil a exclusive
