Overview
- Reports Thursday said Barbara D’Urso filed a civil lawsuit after a failed mediation, claiming unpaid authors’ rights for shows she signed and for her prime‑time format Live – Non è la d’Urso.
- She also seeks an apology for a March 2023 post on Mediaset’s X account that she calls insulting, an episode Mediaset blamed on unauthorized access and later reports linked to an internal error.
- Her filing claims she had to submit guest lists for approval to productions tied to Maria De Filippi and Silvia Toffanin, a point De Filippi’s camp forcefully denied.
- Mediaset issued a formal rebuttal calling her account instrumental and unfounded, and said a 2023 contract renewal fell through because D’Urso wanted two prime‑time shows that did not fit its schedule.
- D’Urso wrote that reports of large cash demands are false and promised more details soon, as the case moves ahead in the civil court of Milan.
