Italian PM Meloni Announces Split from Partner After His Sexist Comments
-
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced she has separated from her partner, TV journalist Andrea Giambruno, after 10 years together.
-
The split comes after Giambruno made sexist comments on TV, for which Meloni said she should not be judged.
-
Giambruno works for Mediaset, owned by allies of Meloni, and made inappropriate remarks about group sex and advances towards colleagues.
-
His past comments were criticised as sexist and victim-blaming regarding a gang rape case.

Meloni said the separation will not distract her and she will not be weakened by challenges in her private life.
