Dolce & Gabbana: Sexual harassment "'is not violent"

A conversation about politician Mark Garnier – whose sex toy scandal is hitting the news that morning – ensues, touching on the sexual harassment cases sweeping through politics and showbiz at the moment. “It’s not new!” Gabbana protests. “Luchino Visconti asked Helmut Berger and Alain Delon to go in the bed… But listen, you decide. It’s true. Everybody knows. After twenty years you say, ‘Ah! He touched my ass!’ It’s not violence, this,” he argues. “Who doesn’t do sex? Who doesn’t? It’s a trend. Now the trend is sex. But sex is an old story. We are Italian. We came from the Roman Empire. We know very well.”
In the politically correct sphere of social media, things can easily be misunderstood, something Gabbana knows all too well.
