Following their breakup on the Italian reality show Uomini e Donne, former contestants Cristiana Anania and Ernesto Passaro engaged in a social media dispute. The tension arose after Anania was photographed with an unidentified individual, leading Passaro to post sarcastic remarks on Instagram.

Passaro has since addressed rumors regarding his personal life, specifically following reports that he was seen in Castellammare di Stabia with a new partner. He clarified that he has no contact with Anania and no interest in reconciling. He further alleged that the breakup was handled poorly, claiming he was left via a TikTok video without prior personal notification and that Anania attempted to damage his reputation by contacting her former agency.

Former suitor Federico Cotugno has added complexity to the dispute. Cotugno noted that while he once believed he might have been Anania’s final choice, he felt she was never entirely convinced. He described her decision to choose Passaro as ‘a bit risky’ and claimed Anania had re-established contact with him approximately two months ago. Cotugno further alleged that Anania appeared confused during her selection process and attempted to ‘hide her tracks’ by deleting messages after he declined to respond to her.

This has led to a direct clash between Cotugno and Passaro. Passaro challenged Cotugno on Instagram to provide evidence for his claims, criticizing those who revisit past events to generate ‘hype’ without factual backing. While Passaro stated he has overcome the difficult period of the breakup, Cotugno has maintained that appearances often differ from reality.
