This is how Jenni Hermoso described the controversial kiss with Rubiales in an interview amid laughter
Few moments after Rubiales's kiss to Hermoso, the player explained that it was an anecdote in an interview
Jennifer Hermoso and her statement before the judge continues to stir controversy. Among them, she has been asked about everything that happened, before and after the controversy of Luis Rubiales's kiss.
Among some of the issues raised during the trial, Jenni Hermoso has been asked about her statements in an interview. This took place after Rubiales's kiss to Jenni Hermoso.
Hermoso, amid laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, said in that interview: "It was the moment, the excitement, there's nothing more to it and it's going to remain an anecdote. It's not going to go any further."
Today, sitting before the judge after her complaint against Luis Rubiales, she assured that those words were the result of having won the World Cup. That she herself decided to prioritize the team and the victory over her emotions.
Now it seems those words have taken a U-turn. "Nowadays everything will be seen negatively by whoever looks at it and I can only say it was the moment, the excitement." This is how Jennifer Hermoso began her interview minutes after the kiss.
Now, she assures that she didn't want to tarnish the victory.
Jenni Hermoso's victimhood: 'I felt afraid to walk down the street'
Jennifer Hermoso continues to make headlines in her statement. Regarding everything that the controversial kiss from Rubiales entailed, Hermoso has assured that the media impact was very significant.
The player has stated that since she set foot in Spain she had "television cameras 24 hours a day." Additionally, she continues to declare that "there were people following me" and responds that she had to leave Madrid with her entire family.
And if that wasn't enough, she points out that "she felt afraid in case someone was chasing me." And she assures the judge that she received death threats.
However, these haven't been the only statements from the player. Who, besides this victimhood, claims that the kiss and refusing to make a video alleviating the situation had "professional" consequences. That is, she wasn't drafted for the next squad, something she attributes to her refusal to make a video clarifying what happened.
In addition to this, Jennifer Hermoso has also been asked about her interview shortly after it happened. She has declared before the judge that in that interview, where she says it was an anecdote, she was thinking more about the team than herself. And that's why she doesn't give importance to Rubiales's kiss to the player.
"I wanted to downplay it. What I said would take away from what was achieved. I looked out for the victory and the team before the kiss."
