Born at the time of “unknown”, Bruna grew up between Brazil and France. As a child, she enriches her imagination in front of the large and the small screen. Having become a journalist, she goes behind the camera and works for several shows. A small world that she likes to dissect for puremedias.
The future editorialist of the specialized chain is already the target of online attacks. The journalist of “the team” denounces a false message circulating in his name and announces to initiate prosecution.

While the Ligue 1+ channel, which is scheduled to start on Friday at 7:15 p.m., a controversy is already swelling around one of its faces. Since the announcement on Wednesday evening of the arrival of Giovanni Castaldi as an editorialist, a wave of hostile messages swept on social networks, especially from supporters of Olympique de Marseille. Some threaten not to subscribe, to cancel their subscription or even call for the boycott of the new diffuser.
“This published DM is a fake!”
At the origin of this anger, the broadcast of an old sequence of 2020 resulting from “the evening team”, where the columnist, the forked language, pronounces an “omerde” instead of OM. The publication, on X, was added to a screenshot of an alleged private message which he would have sent to a subscriber: “So sardine is not happy? Thank you for the € 14.99 per month to pay my salary “.

Giovanni Castaldi quickly reacted to his X account this Thursday, August 14: “I see two things circulating on social networks in recent hours. On the one hand, an account lends me remarks that are not mine and which are completely invented. This DM (private message) published is a fake!“He protests.
“This is why I decided to file a complaint. On the other, an old video extract on which I have already spoken many times. Obviously, I have nothing against OM! I am happy to join Ligue 1+ to speak football with passion and respect, for the 18 clubs in the championship and support thems. “In another message, he added:”Look forward to starting this season with you.“
According to “the team”Ligue 1+ said that she was fully supporting her journalist. Giovanni Castaldi, who will also continue to animate “the evening team” every Sunday, will take his first steps on the new channel on Friday evening, on the sidelines of the opening match Rennes – OM (8:45 pm).
