Anastasia Kuzmina, the face of “Ballando con le Stelle” and a former professional dancer on the show, has reported a serious incident she recently experienced. She took to Instagram Stories to share that while she was at the post office, a male employee showed her explicit images on his phone. This horrifying and violating incident once again highlights how some individuals lack self-control and act like predators.
Kuzmina explained that she went to an Italian post office on Monday, September 18th to send a package. Around 12:30, she was attended to by a male employee who was on his phone while she filled out shipping forms. It was at this moment that the employee began acting in a disturbing and perverse manner.
It is revolting to even hear what happened, let alone be a victim of such repulsive behavior. pic.twitter.com/ap5RS85wdQ — Cinguetterai (@Cinguetterai) September 21, 2023
“He asked me if I knew how to edit videos since I’m young. He asked me for help, saying, ‘Would you be scandalized?’ I said no because I thought he was asking, ‘Would you be scandalized to edit the video?’ He turned the phone and there was his genitals.” Anastasia added that in the moment, she was unable to react as she would have liked: “I felt too sick and went back home.”
Anastasia Kuzmina’s strength in denouncing the ‘wolves’
However, instead of letting the incident fade into oblivion, Kuzmina found the strength to go and report it the following Tuesday. She returned to the same post office where the employee, in a cunning manner, had shown her explicit images on his phone.
“I reported the incident to the manager. I am ashamed that I didn’t react immediately and report it right away. I often run away in these situations, and that’s what I regret the most,” said Kuzmina, adding that months ago, during broad daylight, she experienced another alarming situation. What happened? A man followed her and “wouldn’t leave her alone.”
The discussion about ‘wolves’ makes perfect sense
“You don’t just encounter wolves when you’re drunk and half-naked at night, you also encounter them at the post office, on the street, in broad daylight. And you’re always scared, many don’t understand that a woman is always scared,” concluded the face of “Ballando con le Stelle,” clearly referencing recent cases of violence against women. The discussion about wolves makes perfect sense. However, the reasoning of several people who still too often blame women’s dressing for rape does not make sense.
