Many stars are keen to show their best side, especially in the colorful Instagram world. Riccardo Simonetti, however, has proven that it is also possible to take a different path here. He has published a post in which he confesses to having wet his pants in his car.
The reactions to this varied. Some celebrated Simonetti for sharing this moment with his followers. For others, however, the whole thing fell into the category of "too much information.
Riccardo Simonetti: What happened?
No one should complain that Riccardo Simonetti's Instagram account is currently lacking an "absolutely human touch". On the contrary! Rather, when looking at one particular post, it seemed as if Simonetti was speaking to a good friend... And not to thousands of followers.
"If you think you're having a bad day, I think mine sucks more." he wrote. And here we go. He had been visiting his gym and realized he desperately needed to go to the bathroom, he said. Therefore, he said, he got in his car. The plan: drive home. And - poof - he had actually pooped himself. He underlines the whole thing unmistakably with the well-known "Shit" smilie.
Whoever now thought that all this could not be topped, should take a further look at the story. Because: Freely according to the motto "If something goes wrong ONCE, it's a big deal!"his car did not start afterwards. The ADAC had to come...
Riccardo Simonetti is supported by his fans
Following his posting, Simonetti must have received several messages from his fans. He posted that he was glad not to be the only one to whom something like this happened. The question remains: What was in the DMs of his followers?
One thing is certain: Even if his "little accident" was certainly not a particularly appetizing event: The very fact that he also shares such moments with his fans underlines that he is a celebrity who - contrary to many prejudices - apparently does not always want to be "perfect".
Some celebrities also spoke out in response to his posting. Ex-Bachelorette Jessica Haller, for example, declared "HELP! I LOVE YOU FOR THIS POST!". Johanna Voelkel, wife of The Boss Hoss singer Alec, wrote "Small consolation: Helmut Berger's pants were white back then.". Panajota Petridou tried tips: "Put the windows down for so long. My tip: Shit everywhere, but never again in the car.".
Simonetti in different formats - more than "just" an influencer
Riccardo Simonetti is much more than "just" an influencer. The LGBTQI+ activist can now be seen in a wide variety of formats. He is a regular guest on "Buchstaben Battle" and is currently trying his luck against Joko Winterscheid in the prime time show "Wer stielt mir die Show?"he is currently trying his luck against Joko Winterscheidt.
He has also enjoyed success on Instagram - and not just since the "Shit Video. Almost 340,000 people now follow what he posts here. However, his projects are not always well received. Simonetti is also one of the queers who regularly have to deal with hate speech.
However, this is exactly what seems to inspire him to take a stand again and again, even in his position as an LGBTQI+ activist. He advocates for more tolerance and equal rights - also at the EU level - and leaves no doubt that the world would benefit from a little more "colorful".
