Aurora Leone of The Jackal: “Expulsion from Match of the heart because woman”

National Singers vs Research Champions. Aurora Leone of The Jackal was among the squads of tonight’s Match of the Heart, who however – and despite the official call – would have been kicked out last night from the dinner that preceded the charity match. The reason given by the organizers, claims the actress in some stories on Instagram, is because “you are a woman”, she explains in a video story together with her colleague Ciro Priello, present with her in the squad list. It all starts with a request from the organizer, the two explain, who would have invited Aurora to get up from the table: “Ciro and I sat at the table with the National Singers, and once seated there the organizer Pecchini came and gave us he said we couldn’t sit there. Or rather – Aurora continues -, he said I couldn’t sit there. We thought he was telling us because we are from the opposing team. ” But “when we are about to get up – continues Ciro – the organizer Pecchini says ‘no, no, you can stay. It is only you who cannot stay at the players’ table”. At that point Aurora asks for explanations, “and he – she says – tells me ‘you are a woman, you cannot sit here, these are our rules’. I said look, I am not Ciro’s escort, I have been summoned like Ciro. He told me ‘don’t let me explain why you can’t stay here, get up’ and invited me to sit at another table. At which Ciro – continues the story – sat down with me at a another table and afterwards I think the general manager of the National Singers called us aside, who, speaking to us, told us ‘there was a problem, you couldn’t stay there because you belonged to the opposing team’ “. But when Aurora and Ciro point out that the motivation and the terms previously given were different, “he said ‘oh well but you don’t play, you are here as an escort’. I replied that I have the notice printed and they asked me the size of the outfits “. The replica? “You put the outfits in the stands, since when do women play?”, Explains Aurora who then tells how they were kicked out of the hotel and how the singers present at the scene, including Eros Ramazzotti and Andro, apologized for an event that “has the absurd, the paradoxical. My presence there was like that of Ciro”. In any case, in the stories Ciro and Aurora invite you to support the project that has “a completely different purpose” compared to what happened. The two, who would also have been prevented from entering the hotel to check out, will obviously not be at the match today but thank for the solidarity of the Piedmontese Foundation for Cancer Research for having dissociated itself from the unpleasant episode.
