Al Ban either doesn't agree, and responds to the accusations of body shaming after the video, which went viral , in which during a concert in Carbonia he first tried to "resuscitate" a fainted spectator with some guitar , and then made a comment about her physique
" Irony is the salt of life, there are those who don't understand it and I feel sorry for them - he said to the microphones of Adnkronos -. The controversy is being mounted just to get a few more clicks, a controversy based on nothing, and they do it even at the cost of defaming a person. The important thing is that the public doesn't fall for it easily".
"The lady smiled at the joke - continues Al Bano - , I didn't offend anyone. I also said that I'm on a diet myself, where's the offense?" And again: "As soon as the lady felt ill I stopped the concert, I waited for everything to be resolved, I made her enter a protected area and while they were helping her I even directed the traffic. But what more does a person have to do?".
"Luckily the audience responded so well and understood my joke. In Carbonia there were 10,000 people in the square, for me that's what matters," he concluded.
