CRISTIANO RONALDO : LATEST CASUALTY OF THE #ME TOO MOVEMENT
We are AMAZED at the courage of the woman who accused soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo of sexual assault, considering all the fanatical soccer fans he has around the world. A Las Vegas model (Kathryn Mayorga) claims Ronaldo assaulted and raped her in 2009 during a party at his hotel suite. She went to a hospital and reported the incident to Las Vegas police, who showed little interest in investigating or prosecuting the assault. Meanwhile Ronaldo sent private investigators to follow her around and dig up dirt on her to discredit her character, according to Kathryn. She claims they also had “friends” in the police department. Eventually she accepted a $375,000 settlement and signed an agreement never to speak of the attack or mention his name again. The “MeToo” movement gave her the courage to break the non-disclosure agreement and tell her story to German newspaper Der Spiegel. Ironically, Cristiano’s response was “Fake news!” – he sounds like someone we know…
