When Good WAGs Go Bad, Or: Very Nearly a Sex Scandal

By: Martha | July 11th, 2007

Quite possibly worth a knife attack.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.

    Wow!! That Coco doesn’t half get in some scrapes. I once watched an Italian version of “You’ve been Framed” … (well, that’s what we call it in England and even though an American flag is next to my name when I submit a comment, I am in fact from good old Blighty). Anyway …. its one of those cheesy programmes where practical jokes are played on people. So … the Coco joke was that he was taken by some ‘estate agents’ to an old remote warehouse far out in the country under the guise of him buying the land. But once in the warehouse, the ’sellers’ of the property turned on him as they accused him of being a drug runner who had done them wrong. They tied him to a chair and he literally wept like a baby (along with everything else .. it was disgusting). Only then to be let loose and he ran out of there like a shot to the eventual raucous laughter of all around him. V. funny. But … not missing out on the opportunity to spill a piece of Bobo gossip, on the self same show, the object of my desire was in one of his ‘Sweet Years’ shops with mates. One of his mates told him to go into one of the changing rooms as they had discovered a peep hole (set up, of course). When Bobo ‘peeped’ through the ‘hole’ he could see a very slim, attractive lovely in her underwear as she trying on clothes. As they were all laughing away in the shop, an innocent ’shopper’ asked what all the fun was about, so they showed him. He went to peep only to see that the programme makers had swopped the slim, young lovely for this guy’s MOTHER!!! So the guy was going mental at Bobo (note - the shopper and mother were fake) but indeed, the whole thing didn’t leave our lovely Bobo in too fine a light. (He could peep at me any time though … but I am truely obsessed).

    Oh, I’m totally familiar with that show! Seen the Bobo (love it), the Totti (love it though it really skeeves me out), the Oddo (sad) and the Matrix (AWESOME), but not the Coco. Based on your description, however, I’m really, really not sure I want to see it — that is some cruel shit! Damn.

    Hee. I think so — is she the one they left strapped to a board with a snake crawling around in the room?

    Why don’t we have shows like this in the U.S. to totally mess with athletes. Tell me you wouldn’t want to see Peyton Manning (I know he is already on every commercial so you see enough of him) caught with his drawers down at some rural strip club outside Indy getting a lap dance from some hick missing 3 teeth.
