Totti's public accusations and Netflix documentary add fuel to the fire

Blasi explained that she spent a year and a half observing and understanding the situation before deciding to speak publicly. "I have read and listened to all the different points of view and opinions," she said. 

"But it was my story and I always put my face in everything I did. So this time it seemed good to me to say it."
