Mario Balotelli’s girlfriend claims Berlusconi badgered her at his party

LONDON - Italian footballer Mario Balotelli’s girlfriend has revealed how Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi kept badgering her at one of his bunga bunga parties.

Sara Tommasi, 29, a model, said businessman Giampaolo Tarantini had invited her to the sumptuous Palazzo Grazioli villa in Rome, where 74-year-old Berlusconi soon targeted her.

Tommasi, who is not a hooker and was not paid to attend, said that Berlusconi first offered to help her with her TV work, but when he realised how smart she was, badgered her to be one of his MEPs.

“He was very impressed with me and my looks,” the Sun quoted her as saying.

“He said I had beauty and intelligence, I should go into politics. He said it would be a steady wage. Silvio is always willing to help people. But I told him I just wanted to be an actress,” she said.

She also revealed that she had attended another of Berlusconi’s parties at a villa he owned in Milan.

“There were many beautiful girls and people from show business who wanted to get into the parties. There were many, many girls, and some stayed the night,” she revealed.

“I saw people coming in and out of rooms all the time - they could have been up to anything in there,” she stated. (ANI)
