Is anyone else suspicious of cocos defence of Luca? It seems to boil down to “you only see an hour of the day”. Right, but how is that a defence? Are you saying that if he’s nice and not toxic 23 hours a day that makes the one hour he as toxic redundant? Because I’m not sure that washes with me.
im not sure what the point of even getting ex islanders to speak in defence of Luca even is. Coco wasn’t coupled up with him, she spent what, a week living with him? How is she qualified to speak to his personality?
and what about the fact that none of them address the way he actually reacted; something we all saw the anger, the aggression. It’s like his fan base is trying to brush it under the rug because he’s able to restraint himself 90% of the time.
Abusers don’t just prep their victims, they prep their character witnesses. They go out of their way to be charming and pleasant to everyone because they know if they win others over it makes it easier to get away with abuse, however subconsciously this is done. Saying “oh but Luca was so nice to me” doesn’t meant anything. He was nice to you coco because you didn’t give him a reason not to be. But if she disagreed with him in a point, would he still be so lovely to her?
the only valid defence that could really come out right now, is if more of the Gemma movie was shown than we saw, which had worse footage. Or if Gemma and Gemma and the other islanders had oreagreed that he would act up on camera and it was all fake.
The only defences that we are getting are;
The villa is really hard
You only see one hour of the day
He’s not usually like this (how would these people know how he normally is to his girlfriends? They’ve never been his girlfriend. In fact, his ex girlfriend has said explicitly that he didn’t treat her well).
so I’m not buying Cocos defence at all. Methinks she’s wading in to up her exposure and maybe in the hopes Claudia will blag her some brand deals, or sign her.
