The accusation of domestic violence by Pietro Lombardi has been looming for weeks. Now the singer has spoken publicly for the first time. And is remorseful.
“Yes, it’s true that the police came. And it is also true that the police came” – this is how Pietro Lombardi breaks his silence about the incident on October 7th. At that time, his fiancée Laura Maria Rypa called the police and was taken to the hospital with their son, who was only eight weeks old. In a video on Instagram, Lombardi publicly commented on the incident for the first time.
“The only shameful thing about the evening was my behavior”he says insightfully. He emphasized that he apologized to Laura. But that’s important to him “I have never hit my wife.” He reveals exactly what happened “DSDS”-Juror not. He has a simple explanation for why she was in the hospital: “It’s routine for the police to say after an incident like this: Have them checked once”he emphasizes.
Pietro Lombardi: “I was a real asshole”
He reports that the situation took a toll on him and his family. He is visibly irritated by the hatred of some observers and the accusation that it is a promotional campaign. “What kind of promo is this that makes me look like an asshole?”he wonders.
But he doesn’t want to portray himself as a victim. “I don’t want to sugarcoat anything”he clarifies. “I was a real asshole.” He wants to work on his problems and to have his emotions better under control. He promised his fiancée that, says Lombardi. “For us it’s really real love. Real love also includes real fighting for love.”
