Invited to the "Provocation" show on ABC News, Ermal Mamaqi spoke again of the incident at "Xing with Ermalin" studio when Nas Daily's guest was invited by his girlfriend, Alyne.
"I had invited Nas Daily, which a friend of mine, Arbër Hajdari, had introduced me to. We met him and he was with his girlfriend. And since you paid dinner, I told you you can get and girlfriend (laughs). I did not know it was a video person and there was a matter of his own. But later I saw her network, which was not small, and the reaction, I thought this [reaction, tears] was a form of trap. Or rather, he took the opportunity to have a reaction that was pretty planned. I have videos that will be transmitted later, after we shoot everything that happened in the studio. "
Regarding Alyne's reaction, which exploded in weeping, Ermali adds:
"At first I thought this was not happening. I said okay, this is joking. That laughed, Nas laughed, all laced. A week ago we asked Emina Cunmulaj 'your husband has become circumcised' and Emina cherished the question, she explained. From the moment we embark on the show, we know it's a humorous show. I explained that this [Keynavian] will come to make an embarrassing question about humor, no assault, no discrimination. He was very talented to use the moment. Because at the first moment, she understood the question, she just said 'well, that's not very polite and blla, blla', then she started crying. "
Among other things, Ermali explains that, according to him, Alyne had heard the question behind and said "no, ask me another question."
"But it is my show and I decide what questions will be asked. So I said to [Keynesian] you will not ask this question. "
At the end of the discussion on the issue that made fuss, Ermali said he is preparing a video that will be broadcast this week, which explains the whole story; what sexism means and making humor at this level is not called sexism.
"If we analyze any jokes, let's never laugh. At any moment we make humor with married men, humorous with women, with children, with gays, with the elderly. "
According to him, Alyne's insistence on broadcasting the video, even though they apologized asking the question as "an idiotic question," was a snare to make the video viral in its favor and the issue that it represents.
