Gino d'Acampo performed performatively the wife of a football player on the lips when he was presented as the start during a charity event – and then created that he did it 'because I can do f ** king'.
The once popular TV chef, which has recently been startled by countless accusations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behavior, kissed the surprised famous WAG without warning for dozens of guests.
The incident happened in 2012 when both attended a Black-Tie Charity event in Stoke City Football Club.
MailOnline has chosen to protect the identity of the woman who seized d'acampo out of respect for her privacy.
But we can reveal that she was married to a well -known former international football player – and apparently had no warning that she should be physically understood by the chef.
And witnesses who were present, MailOnline told that both the woman and her husband afterwards seemed shocked and sad because of what had happened – while the wider audience reacted with a mixture of panting and laughter, the air filled what had just happened.
One eyewitness remembered: 'While Gino was introduced on stage, he walked directly through the audience to the table where the footballer and his wife were sitting
“He suddenly grabbed her by the face and kissed her on the lips.”

The witness added that D Because I can do f **. '
Allegedly he turned to a former football player and threw for the joke: 'You want to kill me now, right?
'She seemed visibly shocked and her husband really looked stunned and not exactly satisfied.
“But it was so public that I think they both thought they had no choice but to let it go.”
A second witness confirmed that report and remembered: 'At the time it was really uncomfortable, but the audience seemed to laugh especially because they did not know how to react differently. But looking back on the 2025 perspective, it is hard to believe that he really did. '
The event took place in 2012 when D'Acampo came up in popularity as a famous chef who became known for his scandalous behavior at shows such as Celebrity Juice.
The witnesses reminded that his stunt when the stage was laughed and seemed to be rejected by most people present with no one who challenged him.
One said: 'I remember that I felt deeply uncomfortable to witness it and I can only imagine how she must have felt.

'What struck me the most was how easy the most in the audience seemed to dismiss or even celebrate this flagrant act of arrogance and right.
“It was a grim example of the bystander effect – where inappropriate behavior is apologized, normalized or simply ignored.”
The shocked eyewitnesses claimed that in the beginning she thought that the actions of d'acampo might have been organized a stunt in combination with the couple.
She said: “At that time I initially tried to rationalize what I had seen. I wondered if this was a pre -planned stunt between Gino and them.
“Based on their facial expressions, however, it didn't seem staged or consensual.”
'I now share this because of all the information that has been released about d'acampo. I recognize how such moments contribute to a culture of poisonous masculinity that has long been tolerated.
“I now believe that change is needed. We have to challenge and stop this kind of behavior instead of calling it up. '
The Italian TV star, known for its brutal persona on the screen, is now central to claims of dozens of people who describe his alleged behavior in the past 12 years as 'painful', 'unacceptable' and even 'terrible'.

A spokesperson for the famous chef did not dispute that he had been at the event, nor that there had been a kiss – but it was unclear that d'acampo 'violently' denies every suggestion that he was powerful in any way.
The spokesperson said that d'acampo was friends – and remains – friends with the football player.
They told MailOnline: 'He did not forget herself on her without permission and in a' 'non -consensual' way.
'The claim that he' would '' 'power' '' someone in a non-consensual way is considered by Mr. D'Acampo as '' Ludicrous ''. . '
The spokesperson insisted that there had been a 'pile' against d'acampo and his family that she described as 'this continuous stream of hostile and false accusations' that they 'deeply disturbing'.
