Fans of Il Paradiso delle Signore were left concerned and confused this week after news spread of an on-set accident involving actor Pietro Masotti, followed by a shocking fake rumor announcing his death. Fortunately, Masotti quickly addressed both incidents through social media, shedding light on the situation and calling out the spread of false information.

💥 The Incident on Set: A Broken Mirror, Not a Broken Actor
The initial concern arose when Pietro Masotti shared a video on his Instagram Story showing a shattered mirror in his dressing room on the set of Il Paradiso delle Signore, the long-running and widely beloved Italian daytime drama.

The video, although brief, prompted speculation about whether the actor had been hurt during filming. In the clip, Masotti is seen jokingly remarking:

“The mirror couldn’t handle all this charm!”

Despite the humor, some fans worried the accident might have been more serious. Masotti, however, confirmed that he was completely unharmed, and the mirror had simply fallen on its own. He reassured viewers that it was a minor mishap, not a dramatic injury or cause for concern.

🚫 The Death Hoax: Fake News Goes Too Far
While the broken mirror was a light-hearted and relatively harmless incident, what followed was far more disturbing. A fake death rumor began circulating on social media, claiming that Pietro Masotti had passed away. The false post included an image of the actor alongside a fabricated announcement and a misleading headline suggesting he had “just died.”

Many fans were shocked and heartbroken by the message—at least until Masotti himself took to Instagram to angrily shut down the hoax.

“These people are disrespectful scavengers,” he wrote, calling out the page that spread the rumor.
“They exploit people’s emotions and create panic, just for clicks.”

Masotti’s emotional and direct response highlighted just how harmful and manipulative these types of fake posts can be—not only for fans but for the person being targeted.
