Morgan: “I made a mistake. Now I apologize to Angelica”

“I publicly apologize to Angelica, I said horrible things. I was out of my mind”. Morgan breaks his silence on the matter of the trial in which he is accused of stalking following a complaint from his ex-partner Angelica Schiatti. He does so through a long interview given to Corriere della Sera in which he defends himself from the various accusations leveled against him by the singer-songwriter from Monza to whom he was romantically linked in the past. And he says:

I had a serious drug addiction problem. Angelica told me: we’ll solve it together, then we’ll get married and start a family. (…) I underwent brain treatment. A very powerful treatment, almost like electroshock. She left me there, under the electrodes and I never saw her again. I was in a hospital bed, my brain bombarded with magnetic waves, my optic nerve screaming. I left the hospital and she blocked me on WhatsApp, she didn’t want to talk to me anymore after eight years that had been a river of words, of soul exchange. (…) In the conditions I was in, I found it inexplicable, frightening, it was as if I were dead to her. I just wanted to understand why she had transformed from a friend to an enemy in one day. (…) I sent those nasty messages in that context. I wasn’t myself. (…) I felt unjustified anger, I was exasperated, emptied of any hope. I felt like I was dying psychologically and emotionally.

When asked: “Has he detoxed now?”, the former X Factor judge replies:

After the blow, slowly, I recovered. My music and my daughter saved me. Last May I signed a contract with Warner and I was happy: I had been looking for a contract with a major for twelve years. My greatest pain is that all my work has been taken away: the album, a book that was supposed to come out, the Rai program, the concerts. I feel like an amputated. With Warner, Calcutta said either me or him, and Warner tore up my contract. I reported him, I had to. The bad thing about this story is that they made me become a person I am not: I believe that a singer-songwriter cannot report another singer-songwriter, I believe in dialogue, in the power of words, in compassion, in humanity.
