The 36-year-old influencer and
businesswoman Chiara Ferragni said Sunday that she is going
through a "tough time" amid legal woes linked to allegedly bogus
charity product endorsements and a marital crisis with Italian
rapper and TV personality Fedez, but that her problems are
relatively small.
"These two and a half months have been a bit of a tough period,
but my issues are small compared to the tragedies of the world,"
she told Fabio Fazio on his popular talk show Che Tempo Che Fa
on Nove.
"I have found myself at the centre of a wave of hatred, and one
is never prepared for certain attacks," she added.
Late last year Ferragni found herself at the centre of a storm
amid allegations that she had unfairly profited from charity
sales of a 'designer' version of the popular Italian Christmas
cake 'pandoro', an Easter Egg and a Barbie-like doll modelled on
her that are being investigated.
"If I have misconstrued, I will give everything back," continued
Ferragni, reiterating that she acted "in good faith".
On her rumoured split with Fedez, she said: "Federico and I
speak to each other, we are two adults who care about each
other".
"It's not like you stop speaking to each other from one day to
the next," she added.
Last month it emerged that the 34-year-old rapper whose real
name is Federico Leonardo Lucia had moved out of their new
Milanese penthouse where they live with their two children,
Leone aged six and Vittoria aged three.
"It's a moment of crisis, we've had other crises in the past,
this is a slightly bigger crisis," Ferragni told Fazio.
"Now the priority for both of us is the children," she
continued, adding that she wanted to "live more the present".
"I've never stopped to live the present, and instead social
media isn't everything, even if it's my dream job life outside
has to be lived," concluded Ferragni.
