Temptation Island, now there are those who sell Gabriele and Sara's intimate video for 20 euros: deleting it wasn't enough

Two days after the start of Temptation Island, a hardcore video shot by Gabriele and Sara, two of the new protagonists, appeared online. The images have been removed from the most important platforms but this is not enough to stop them: we have found users who are trying to sell.

She didn’t succeed Belen Rodriguez. She didn’t succeed Diletta Leotta. It is unlikely that they will succeed Gabriele and Sara. When a porn video, especially of a well-known person, ends up online, it is practically impossible to remove it. The two are among the faces of the new edition of Temptation Island, launched on June 26 on Canale 5. Not only that. Gabriele and Sara are also the protagonists of the first case linked to the Mediaset broadcast. In recent days, explicit content has begun to circulate. Videos shot some time before the program, of which the production was not aware. A position confirmed by both in one response broadcast by the program channels.

We’re not talking about stolen videos, they’re not amateur clips designed to fit in the memory of a smartphone. They are contents created for platforms dedicated to pornography. It’s probably about CAM4a portal dedicated to explicit content broadcast live. A kind of slightly more artisanal OnlyFans. Theoretically, this content should remain on the platforms where it was published but, as always happens, it is recorded and disseminated everywhere. In this case, the video was on a small portal dedicated to pornographyone of the many small sites that populate an undergrowth where it is often difficult to reach with new controls.

As soon as the two arrived at Temptation Island the video began to rack up views. It’s turned up a lot Xamong the accounts that follow the program. It was copied, spread to other platforms, broken up into hundreds of clips. In the end the site where the video was first published has it removed. We don’t know if it was a move to avoid too much attention around the case, or a choice made by someone letter sent by a lawyer. In any case, too late. As demonstrated by many cases we have seen in the past, removing such content from the internet it’s impossible. Once publication on the most well-known platforms has been blocked, there are still clips circulating on Telegram, even from very well-known channels.

The parallel game of Temptation Island: now there is Fanta Temptation to bet on the competitors’ moves

The tracks of the video on Telegram: 20 euros for the video, the clips on the Fabrizio Corona channel

Attention is high, and many are taking action. It’s the usual scenario. Fabrizio Corona delved into history: posted a series of clips from the video on his Telegram channel. Material that was peppered with a series of attacks on the broadcast and on Mediaset in general. We remember it. It is not legal to distribute pornographic materials without consenteven if they were published by the authors on dedicated platforms. In 2025, a ruling from the Court of Cassation also established this: “It must be considered that the conduct of those who, having received or otherwise acquired visual material published on the social network, transmit it to third parties without the consent of the person portrayed must constitute the crime of illicit dissemination of sexually explicit images or videos”.

But Corona isn’t the only one who has tried take advantage of this moment. There are channels where sales have started to have the video of Gabriele and Sara. Offers from 20 eurosincreases up to 50 euros or exchange proposals. In one group, users are asked to bring new members: once they reach 7,000 members they will publish all the images. They have already exceeded 6,000. Today the video of Gabriele and Sara is a businesstomorrow will be just a trophy. Those images are already saved in the memory of dozens of smartphones and will appear in fits and starts over the next few years.

It is the same dynamic as the explicit images stolen from Belen Rodriguez or Diletta Leotta. Despite the efforts and complaints of the victims, they continued to appear in increasingly hidden places for years. The most dramatic case, however, is that of Tiziana Cantone, a 33-year-old woman who killed herself in 2016 after one of her porn videos was published online without consent. Not even his death had stopped the spread of that video.
