Okay babes, gather around because the courtroom in Milan basically turned into the Italian version of Keeping Up With the Kardashians yesterday — minus the contouring, plus a whole lot of legal paperwork.

So, picture this: Chiara Ferragni, queen of Instagram sparkle and pastel packaging, walks into court and says — with all the dramatic flair you’d expect —

“Everything we did, we did in good faith. None of us profited.”

Uh-huh. 👀

That’s the line she delivered after prosecutors asked for 1 year and 8 months in jail for her, and similar sentences for her business partners Francesco Cannillo and Fabio Damato.

Yes babes, we’re talking about the full-blown Pandoro-Gate scandal — that saga where Christmas cakes and charity claims collided in the most un-festive way possible.

The Accusations?

Allegedly:

The “Pink Christmas Pandoro” and the charity Easter eggs were marketed as if every purchase helped a foundation.

But prosecutors say… the math didn’t add up.

And now? Everyone’s lawyered up, everyone’s stressed, and Chiara’s sparkly empire is wobbling in her Louboutins.

💼 

The Legal Tea

Her lawyers — Giuseppe Iannaccone and Marcello Bana (yes, it takes two men to manage Ferragni-level drama) — are getting ready to talk again on December 19.

Mark your calendars, babes, because the final sentence drops January 14.

New year, new verdict, I guess. 🎉😬

And get this:

One consumer association, “La Casa del Consumatore,” was offered €5,000 to please-please-please not join the case.

They said no thanks.

(Audacity level: expert.)

Meanwhile, Codacons, Adicu, and even one very determined lady from Avellino accepted settlements and backed off. Queen Adriana from Avellino walked home with €500 and probably a great story for her next dinner party.

As of now, Chiara has reportedly paid out over €3 million outside the courtroom.

Rich girl problems? Absolutely.

Fun to watch? You bet.

🔮 

What Happens Next?

The million-euro-question (literally):

Will Chiara be convicted?

Will the judge buy the “good faith” narrative?

Will 2025 finally be the year influencers stop packaging desserts with emotional manipulation?

(Spoiler: probably not.)

What we do know is this:

Ferragni’s brand — once untouchable — is now on the same shaky ground as that glittery pandoro display.

Stay tuned babes, because this story is giving us:

✨ legal thriller

✨ influencer downfall

✨ Christmas pastry tragedy

…and the finale is coming soon.

Should I keep covering every twist of this saga for you? 👀💗
