Speaking in an interview with F Magazine, the sexy 32-year-old said:

The worst thing was, "You're only here because of your t**s." A colleague from Sky Sport told me how people were talking about me.

I had just arrived, I was twenty years old. It hurt like crazy. At home that evening I let out a liberating cry.

That brought out the lion in me, I learned a lot. I got my degree [in law] so that no one could ever say something like that to me again.

Leotta continued to share her negative experiences in broadcasting and claimed that most discriminatory statement have come from women.

The problem is female competition. We sit in positions that are normally occupied by men, like in football.
