Belen Rodriguez ends silence, says she quit 'Isola dei Famosi' and denounces press
On June 11, Argentine‑Italian TV personality Belen Rodriguez used Instagram Stories to break weeks of silence about her recent hospitalisation and the surrounding media speculation. She thanked family, friends and fans for their support and warned the sensationalist press not to "feed" inflated stories for clicks, stating that those responsible will be held to account in the proper venues.
Rodriguez also disclosed that she declined to host the reality programme “Isola dei Famosi” after learning she would have to spend about 45 days abroad, which she said would keep her away from her children. She confirmed that Mediaset respected her decision and that she hopes for future opportunities. Additionally, her legal team refuted rumours of alleged omission of aid after minor traffic incidents, calling such claims “absolutely false.” The statements address both contract‑related tensions with Mediaset and the broader issue of privacy invasion by the press.
