I'm sorry but what 7 year old is on social media? I really mean it, how was she allowed to know about the Graz situation.

My exact thoughts. A seven year old should know absolutely nothing about social media.
Of course nobody should be sending abuse to anyone online, especially not to a small child. But it is totally irresponsible parenting to put a child in that position. Totally irresponsible.
 
New exclusive from the Sun - that Graziano was warned but they didn't know the extent of what he'd done. (No mention of spitting btw).
Graziano feels if he had received proper support and some sort of anger management training, an escalation could have been prevented.

:cautious:

(I take some of this stuff with a pinch of salt as the versions of this story are all conflicting about what was known when. But it's clear there were no processes in place for this).

Also says a new male pro is coming!

Strictly warned TWICE about Graziano before sacking for 'kicking' Zara

STRICTLY bosses received two complaints last year about Graziano Di Prima’s abusive training style towards Zara McDermott — but only issued warnings. Pro Graziano’s sacking was revealed at the week…

The producers have clearly made some mistakes but this is just passing the blame. He could have sought help himself. The more he speaks or has sources speak the more he goes down in my estimations

Pushing the blame onto others. Hate that trait in people. He did wrong, he needs to own it.

Sorry but if you need anger management classes you've already gone too far imo.

Also, I don't know of any job that will provide that for you.

That just gave me such an ick. Guy needs to take responsibility for his own actions. If he feels like he has an anger management issue, then HE could have sought out anger management therapy. Typical abuser, it's always someone else's fault.

I've unfollowed him on all SM I had him on, I have no interest in hearing any more of his gaslighting or excuses. 😡

Well if Graziano “feels” if he needed anger management support he should have bleeping sought it out himself instead of using it as justification for why he abused his partner 😡
 
The Times also has a story that has 'a source close to Graziano Di Prima' who said that the Italian dancer accepted that he may have crossed a line with his celebrity partner Zara McDermott.

'His “training methods might have been too passionate” the source said, adding: “But these are professionals who are driven to win. So training can be tough.”

Pretty much word for word what Gio said: 'I am passionate and competitive. No-one is more ambitious for my dance partners than me. I have always striven to help them be the very best dancers they can be. This has always come from a place of love and wanting to win - for me and my dance partners.'

I hate this 'passionate' bollocks - such a bleeping cliché.

Strictly Come Dancing ‘under siege’ after second dancer sacked

“Graziano feels if he had been offered anger management this would have been prevented”

That’s just another way of saying “I’m not at fault”


The ‘between the lines”/translated version:
“I wouldn’t have kicked, hit or spat at the woman I was employed to teach to dance if the BBC had put measures in place to stop me doing it. So really, it’s their fault. Oh, and I’m suicidal now, because I got caught doing that thing nobody stopped me from doing. So that’s the BBC’s fault too. Bottom line: don’t blame me, external circumstances, my version will prove that I’m innocent blah blah blah …”
