Sex Scandal

In 2006, Gregoraci gained notoriety in Italy when it was revealed that she had offered sexual favors in return for a position as a showgirl with the national public television company RAI. Allegedly, she engaged in a sexual relationship with Salvatore Sottile, a high-ranking spokesperson for Italy's foreign ministry. As a consequence, Gregoraci was estranged from RAI. However, the tabloid exposure from the incident ultimately helped Gregoraci's career, leading to a new gig as the face of a mobile phone company.

Relationship with Silvio Berlusconi

After being shunned by RAI, Gregoraci was eventually hired by media magnate and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to serve as a hostess on his television show "Buona Domenica." Although the two have been linked romantically, both parties have denied a connection more intimate than friendship.
