“The Triumph of Truth”

For Delat, this move symbolizes more than just a media dismissal: it is the closing of a decades-old wound. In his speech on the “We Are Nobody” program, he admitted that his strength comes from faith: “Do you know who helped me? Oh my god she said through tears. Today I woke up and he said to me: Wear the crown of victory.”

The model described Lekio’s march as a “victory for the truth” and pointed to those who silenced her for years: “I know that many journalists have to eat, and I respect that. But having an assailant sitting next to you, covering your mouth and watching all the reporters…He denounced. In addition, he confirmed that he had waited “38 years” for a procedure like this.

Call to action

Far from focusing solely on his personal relief, DeLatte sent a broader message: “Support all victims. There are no Series A or Series B victims,” ​​he said on Formula TV. In his opinion, dismiss him It is not just an individual victory, but “for all women.”Especially those who died and those who had no voice, and all those who were killed by a human being.

In his speech, he also made direct reference to his “accomplices”: not just Likuyo, but those who allowed him to remain on screen for decades. “I’m toasting a glass of wine, thank God. I’ve waited 38 years. I should enjoy my family, my son who always supported me, my only love. He continued: “They wanted to destroy me.” “Go after him and ask him and all the complicit press. I knew. “I kept silent because victory would come.”

Complaint

The origin of all this accumulation of accusations goes back to the end of the 1980s, during the marriage of Dell’Atte and Lequio. As she stated in an extensive interview with El Pais, the violence began very soon: “The first kick Likyo gave me when I was pregnant was when I returned from my honeymoon.“, exposed.

It was not an isolated incident: Antonia denounces that he controlled her, isolated her from her family, forced her to quit her job and confined her to the house. Furthermore, he says he received constant threats; He even told her that he would destroy her nose “so it wouldn’t be pretty.”

In March 1991, DeLatte filed a complaint of abuse and abandonment, although he withdrew it soon after, admitting that he had done so. “Out of fear and to protect our son.”. However, the courts subsequently decided that his account had factual foundations: in dismissing Licchio’s libel case, the judge held that his statements were covered by the “genuine exception”, meaning that according to the justice system, what he said was not a lie.

In addition, Dell’Atte keeps letters that Lequio sent him confessing to his attacks. In one of those letters, he said, He apologizes, admits that he “hit” her again, and promises that he will never hurt her again.

Criticism of the media

One of the harshest points of her statements is directed at the press: according to Dell’Atte, the Spanish tabloid press has discredited her for years, making her appear like a spiteful or unstable woman. He believes that this media strategy highlighted his suffering and allowed the public to “whitewash” Lekio’s image.

He also asked the Ministry of Equality to take action against television programs that… They “victimize” or “make fun of” sexual violence.Warning that many broadcasters had long allowed her ex-husband to remain a public speaker without accountability.

Mediaset’s quick reaction, less than 24 hours after reviewing the court documents filed by Dell’Atte, was key at this point. The decision also shows this toThese accusations were not taken lightly And that his testimony, finally, had real consequences.
