Off-Screen Allegations
Giovanni Pernice, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional, has expressed his affection for head judge Shirley Ballas while facing an inquiry by the BBC over alleged misconduct. Reports suggest that complaints filed by several past celebrity dance partners accuse him of inappropriate behavior, including making lewd gestures and crude remarks during rehearsals.
According to sources, the claims against Giovanni extend beyond Amanda Abbington, with other dance partners alleging similar behavior. The BBC's investigation also includes bullying accusations from three former celebrity partners, with one mentioning experiencing mild PTSD from working with Giovanni. The ongoing investigation now involves a male celebrity and reports of the need for therapy following their time on the show.
Fighting Back with Legal Support
In response to the allegations, Giovanni has enlisted legal representation to dispute the claims and cooperate with the BBC's inquiry. His spokesperson has emphasized Giovanni's commitment to defending his reputation and refuting the accusations made against him. Despite the controversy, Giovanni maintains his innocence and asserts his dedication to clearing his name from the misconduct allegations.
