Belfast comedian Vittorio Angelone criticised for rape “joke” | UK News

In a post on Facebook, Goodwin said the episode was recorded “in September/October of 2025 and has been behind a paywall for a year before being published to social media”.

She reported a rape to police in July 2025 and had spoken publicly about her experience.

Goodwin said she only became aware of the comments when clips were posted to social media in recent days.

“I am grateful I never saw it sooner because it would’ve been just weeks after [the assault] happened and I was in a different mental state to what I am now,” she said.

At that time, Goodwin said that “no contact or apology has been attempted” by Angelone, but that he had “removed the joke from his own social media, again, over a year after it was made, edited, clipped, captioned and posted with my full name included”.

The comments have not been edited out of the paywalled episode of the podcast.

Goodwin said: “We are facing a global crisis of violence against women and girls, and we are begging for our safety and experiences to be taken seriously.”

She added that Freddy Quinne, as well as a number of other comedians who were part of the podcast episode, had since apologised to her.

However, Goodwin said that she did not accept the apologies as they “only came a year after the joke was made and nobody had my back in that room at the time, up until I made a social media post about it”.

Quinne has been approached for comment.

In a statement on Instagram, Angelone said he let his “need for validation supersede my own standards and morals”.

“It’s completely pathetic and I’m ashamed to realise that about myself,” he said.

Angelone will feature in his first major acting role in upcoming sitcom Rewarding, which is set to air this autumn.

Northern Ireland have been approached for comment.
