“Ecco l'intervista di Alessandro Cattelan a Selvaggia Lucarelli sul podcast Supernova: un'occasione per approfondire l'approccio professionale e personale della giornalista e opinionista televisiva. La conversazione, condotta con libertà e sincerità, esplora vari aspetti della vita e del lavoro di Selvaggia Lucarelli, dalla sua attività come giornalista d'inchiesta al contemporaneo ruolo di giudice in programmi come “Ballando con le stelle”.
La conversazione inizia con la discussione sul suo approccio all'inchiesta giornaistica,where she reveals that she is quite selective in her choice of articles to write, often choosing ones that could lead to legal disputes. “I decide taking cases that could lead to lawsuits,” she says. “I ask myself, “How many troubles will this cause me?”” She admits that in the past she has often taken on cases that might lead to legal action, only to later regret it. “I've taken on cases that lasted a long time, with a lot of trouble, and I've realized that maybe I should have known better.”
Lucarelli also speaks about her role as a judge on “Ballando con le stelle”, where she reveals that she gets anxious when contestants come up to her after shows to talk, as it makes her feel more fragile. “I get anxious when contestants come up to me after the show, it makes me feel more fragile and weak,” she says. “I try to create a distance between us, to avoid any kind of superficiality or attention.”
The conversation then turns to the dynamics of the show, where she mentions her own part in creating tension among the contestants, sometimes even joining in on the drama. “I come up to the contestants and say, ‘Let's talk about this,' or ‘Let's work on that,' and they become nervous, but I don't mean to, I just want to make them work better,” she explains.
Lucarelli also speaks about her approach to voting, which she says is often based on her own personal feelings towards the contestants. “When I give a score of 6 or 5, I'm trying to make it disappear, that's my strategy,” she says. “When I dislike someone, I give them a 0 or a 1, it's like I'm saying, ‘You're not worth my time.'”
Finally, the conversation touches upon the subject of social media, where Lucarelli admits that she has been a user for over 20 years, but has recently started to question its impact on her life. “I think I've been too silent for too long, and now I'm starting to feel like I need to express myself more,” she says.
Overall, the interview provides a unique glimpse into the mind of Selvaggia Lucarelli, a journalist and opinionist with a strong sense of purpose and conviction. Her comments on her approach to journalism, her role on “Ballando con le stelle”, and her views on social media, offer a fascinating insight into the ups and downs of her career and personal life.”
