After her actions drew protests on social media, Michelle Hunziker apologized publically on Wednesday by sharing a video on Instagram. Hunziker and co-host Gerry Scotti made slanted-eye gestures and mimicked an Asian accent on the TV show âStriscia la Notiziaâ (âThe News Crawlsâ) aired by the private Italian network Mediaset.Â
