As the camera panned out, pretty journalist Costanza Calabrese stood with her legs apart.

Costanza Calabrese, a journalist, had an unexpected incident on live television that not only entertained but also elicited pity. In 2016, Calabrese was sitting behind a transparent desk while giving the news on TG 5’s late-night program.

Unknowingly, she reproduced a scene from “Basic Instinct,” which soon gained popularity on the internet. The camera zoomed in on her face and shoulders as she delivered the news. However, as the episode went, the camera progressively began to zoom out, showing more of the studio scene. However, as she spoke, the camera gradually zoomed out, exposing more of the surroundings.

Costanza sat with her legs spread, unaware that the desk was transparent. This stance, along with the desk’s open design, made it impossible to conceal anything below her waist.

As the camera drew back, it unintentionally provided viewers a considerably more revealing glimpse than anyone, notably Costanza, had expected. An delighted observer promptly recorded the surprising disclosure and shared it to YouTube. The video rapidly went viral, with over 6 million views and a wide range of comments from the audience.
