Giovanni Pernice Cleared of Most Allegations

Giovanni Pernice, the Italian dancer from Strictly Come Dancing, expressed relief after an internal investigation upheld six out of seventeen allegations made against him by former partner Amanda Abbington, stating he feels 'vindicated'. He emphasized that serious claims of threatening and abusive behavior were dismissed, allowing him to focus on his career and passion for dance. Pernice thanked his supporters, including fellow dancers like Lauren Oakley, who publicly backed him during this challenging period. His family and British fans continue to support him, rallying around his participation in Italy's version of Strictly, where he recently won the first round of Dancing With The Stars. Meanwhile, Abbington feels vindicated by the BBC's findings, and there are discussions of potential lawsuits from both parties concerning damages and loss of earnings. The investigation's slow pace has drawn criticism, with insiders suggesting that there are still unresolved issues regarding its transparency.
