The incident sparked great anger among Sardinians and received strong coverage in the local media. Because Spiaggia Rosa and the entire island belong to the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park. The ban on entering the beach has been in place since the 1990s to protect the natural area from vandalism.

Officers from the La Maddalena Coast Guard quickly identified the woman and fined her for trespassing and unauthorized entry. The Coast Guard also discovered that the boat the influencer was sailing on did not have an entry permit, and the commercial operator that chartered the vessel had not been granted a permit. He was also fined 1,500 euros.
