There is no doubt that the influencer Gianluca Vacchi, famous for exhibiting his luxurious life on social networks to the rhythm of elaborate choreographies accompanied by his partner, the Venezuelan model Sharon Fonseca, with whom he shares his daughter Blu Jerusalema, has a dream life or at least it seemed that way until recently. shortly after a former employee of the Italian businessman also claimed to have lived “hell” at his service.
Laluna Maricris Bantugon, 44, and originally from the Philippines, worked with Viacchi from 2017 to 2020. However, as she explained in a recent interview for the newspaper The Republicdemanded the influencer for alleged mistreatment during the time she worked for him.
Maricris assures that there was a confidentiality clause that provided for a sanction of 50,000 euros in the event that any of its workers were to disseminate information about their private life.
In addition, he accuses Vacchi of not respecting his labor rights, since he never paid him for the extra hours he worked for him and caused him stress when he forced her to dance in his viral videos.
On some occasions we had to participate in the first person in their videos even if we didn’t want to. We were to appear dressed in our attendant uniform.

According to Maricris, when employees couldn’t keep up, the millionaire would get angry, throw objects around them and yell at them. For this reason, the former employee of Vacchi demands compensation of 70 thousand euros for the damages caused and for the settlement that she did not receive at the end of the employment relationship with the Italian.
The same media reported that the businessman maintains another legal complaint with two other collaborators who worked for him for more than two decades and who have challenged his dismissal before the Prosecutor’s Office in Bologna, Italy.
After the complaint, Vacchi and his agency issued a statement in which they report that they will not give statements to the media. Furthermore, he denied the accusations against him and emphasized that the matter is in the hands of his lawyers.
Regarding the news that has been spread by the media in recent days, I have not issued any statement nor do I intend to do so. In fact, there is an ongoing process and it is only up to the judges to express their opinion on it. However, numerous false and seriously offensive statements have also been disseminated about events in which no complaint has ever been filed and which are not the subject of the aforementioned legal proceedings. Therefore, I gave my lawyers a mandate to protect me in all competent offices.
