When Good WAGs Go Bad, Or: Very Nearly a Sex Scandal
By: Martha | July 11th, 2007
I am going to preface this by telling you that a lot my information is coming from a combination of Google translate, wordreference.com, and an actual, paper dictionary. Point being, I could have it all mixed up and terribly, terribly wrong. Ok, that said, I think a jealousy-crazy ex assaulted Francesco Coco and his female companion last night. And when I say “assulted,” I mean the woman went after them with a knife. Seriously! (The ex is not mentioned by name in the La Gazzetta report on the incident; she’s probably not Maneula Arcuri, but I’m going to mention her anyway, because there’s rarely anything wrong with a link to a WAG.)
Whoever she is, the ex in question reportedly went mad with jealousy when she saw Coco leaving the Billionaire club (Sadly, I’m not making that up.) with another woman. Apparently already armed, she followed them back to Coco’s apartment, broke in (or at least smashed some glass — this is where my translating skills let us down a bit), and went after his ladyfriend with a knife. Apparently said companion was saved only by Coco’s spectacularly quick reactions and he managed to disarm the ex, who promptly seems to have fled via a balcony, only to be tracked down and taken in by the cops.
All three spent several hours being interrogated early this morning and, unless I’m really missing something (always a possibility), Coco’s not going to press any charges against the crazy lady with the knife. Whether his companion — you know, the one who was almost stabbed — is going to be quite so graceful about it is something else entirely; none of the newspapers seem to know (or care) how she’s going to handle the whole thing.
Um, WOW. All I have to say is that this sets new standards for footballers (Assuming Coco still is one — he’s vanished from Inter’s roster despite being loaned, not sold, to Torino last spring.) and demented relationships. Hell, even our Bobo is going to have to work to top this one.
