Chiara Balistreri: “My ex beat me with a dog leash, so people would like my video”
She is 21 years old and from Bologna: with several profiles on social media, with lots of followers. That on its own came with the pressure to impress and attract the likes, the shares and views.
Feeding the social algorithms with content. Until her boyfriend started beating her. She finally mustered up the courage and denounced her boyfriend’s violence and the fact that he was placed under house arrest after the mistreatment inflicted.
He fled Bologna and has been on teh run since the house arrest, but now he has been arrested. Thanks to her courage.
