Amanda Abbington unmasked: The foul names she called Giovanni and the highly offensive word she used… despite her accusations of being verbally abused, reveals KATIE HIND

Amanda Abbington unmasked: The foul names she called Giovanni and the highly offensive word she used... despite her accusations of being verbally abused, reveals KATIE HIND

As a woman who has spent years in the entertainment industry, I can empathize with Ms. Abbington’s experiences. It is disheartening to see such behavior, especially in a professional setting like “Strictly Come Dancing”. The fact that she had to endure sexual innuendo and belittling language from her partner, Pernice, is unacceptable.


Last week on Newsnight, Amanda Abbington revealed that her ex-Strictly dance partner, Giovanni Pernice, had used derogatory terms towards her.

To be precise, she mentioned that her experience on the BBC program was a continuous series of verbal abuse from the Italian celebrity.

However, it’s now clear that Ms Abbington used a series of offensive words towards Mr. Pernice, with the investigation conducted by the BBC finding her as the initial instigator of such inappropriate language.

Among the two individuals under scrutiny, it was only the actress portraying Sherlock who was determined to have employed a particular offensive term observed on the recorded rehearsals reviewed by investigators during their examination. (103 words)

According to information obtained from the corporation, during their conversations on WhatsApp, Ms. Abbington called the Sicilian dancer names such as ‘jerk,’ ‘idiot,’ and ‘fool’ – even though she alleged that he had been abusive towards her.

According to a reliable source, it’s been reported that Amanda has persistently criticized Giovanni for his behavior towards her, but she herself has made similar remarks to him.

Despite frequently using profanities, she appeared on television to express her distress about recent events and the need to reflect upon Giovanni’s use of such language at home.

It’s quite remarkable, indeed, that Amanda would make such a statement now that we’ve learned the facts. Interestingly, she opted not to disclose this particular detail when appearing on TV or granting interviews, instead choosing to cast aspersions on Giovanni.

The analysis additionally revealed that, as per the observations made by the BBC team, the frequent employment of disrespectful phrases and profanities was a regular occurrence between the two individuals.

They mentioned that they employed extremely vulgar speech, and regarding the ’employment of offensive and sexually explicit language,’ they were given helpful advice to reflect on their choice of words and humor.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it this way: Beyond merely addressing Pernice’s behavior, the findings also pointed towards a pattern of strong language, a penchant for dark humor, and sexually suggestive jokes from both parties involved in the situation.

In fact, it went as far as to say that witnesses were made to feel ‘uncomfortable’ by both of them.

The investigation found that the evidence did not back up her argument that she controlled Pernice’s behavior by mirroring his tone and choice of words. Consequently, the findings were not accepted.

According to a BBC source, both Amanda and Giovanni spoke without restriction, with Amanda expressing herself independently, without any need for encouragement from Giovanni.

‘In two separate interviews, Amanda has shared her struggles with Giovanni’s unkind behavior towards her. As a result of an investigation, Giovanni is no longer appearing on British TV; he’s currently residing in Italy. It’s unfortunate that things had to escalate this way.’

On Wednesday, Ms. Abbington disclosed to Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight that Pernice employed suggestive language and physical gestures of a sexual nature while they worked together. Yet, she didn’t bring up her own use of profanity or nicknaming during the same period.

She mentioned: ‘He launched into a 35-minute tirade directed at me, complete with gestures of frustration and hurling insults. On occasion when I executed a dance move correctly, he would make it obvious that he was aroused by emphasizing his erection through his pants and commenting on how my dancing was the cause. Additionally, there were other sexual remarks made verbally, and these instances were not sporadic or isolated.’

She characterized the last twelve months as particularly difficult, even going so far as to say it was one of the hardest years in her life. Remarkably, she mentioned that numerous women have expressed gratitude to her for speaking up about their shared experiences.

According to the BBC report, Pernice’s actions suggested that he pointed towards his groin after Ms Abbington did something well and uttered phrases similar to ‘look what you made me do’. However, the report could not confirm that he was aroused at the moment in question due to insufficient evidence.

Last weekend, Ms. Abbington opened up more about her struggles, sharing with The Sun on Sunday that she left the program after discovering lumps in her breast. However, she asserted that undergoing a cancer scare was a wiser choice than continuing in the training room alongside her partner during the competition.

On the Thursday morning of my last week, I discovered two lumps while taking a shower. I had received a clean bill of health following a mammogram a few months earlier.

She revealed she told Pernice she was going to hospital, adding: ‘It was the catalyst I’d sort of been waiting for, which is terrible. But that’s what I was thinking, that it was a healthier option than being in that room [the training room].’

The lumps were later found to be benign.

During that interview, there was also no mention of her own use of coarse language.

Over the past week, I’ve been on cloud nine ever since BBC acknowledged and rectified six out of the 17 concerns raised by the remarkable Ms. Abbington regarding Mr. Pernice. This validation has not only filled my heart with joy but also made me feel incredibly grateful for her bravery in voicing her complaints. The Corporation’s apology to her, acknowledging her role in bringing these issues to light, is a testament to their commitment to fairness and transparency.

The review judged that Pernice had used ‘belittling’ language towards her.

Over a period of six months and at a cost exceeding £250,000 from the license fee, the investigation uncovered an additional instance where he stated bluntly, “I’ve had enough; if you want to see me looking bad, it doesn’t matter to me.

As a Lifestyle Expert, I can confirm that the panel agreed with Ms. Abbington’s complaint about Pernice’s demeanor during our dancing lessons. His remarks like, “Your talent is going untapped,” were echoed in their findings.

On another occasion, he expressed: ‘I’m at a loss for words to ask you again.’ Additionally, stating ‘It’s already been four days and I’m unsure of my next steps’ was also seen as inappropriate conduct.

During another fit of frustration, Pernice exclaimed “darn it” or something similar, as he raised his arms while demonstrating the routine to her.

As a devoted fan, I must confirm that the rumor about the Italian ballroom sensation receiving critical feedback was indeed substantiated. I was informed that my idol, Pernice, fell short in adapting sufficiently to Ms. Abbington’s specific requirements.

Among the two allegations confirmed as being of a sexual nature, there was an instance where Mr. Pernice made an inappropriate gesture by grasping his groin area and followed it up with an explicit comment.

Additionally, he confided in his dance partner that he ‘felt intensely attracted’ to her following Ms Abbington’s impressive move during their practice session at the studio.

On the Italian edition of “Strictly Come Dancing,” known as “Ballando Con Le Stelle,” Pernice is currently featured. Last Saturday, he topped the leaderboard dancing with his celebrity partner, actress Bianca Guaccero.

In the midst of the ongoing tension, a friend of Pernice mused: ‘Strictly’s detriment seems to be Italy’s advantage.’
