Jenni Hermoso made another strong separate statement: “I feel like I’m the victim of an attack”

THE NOTICE

“After achieving one of the most sought-after victories of my sporting career and after a few days of reflection, I want to wholeheartedly thank my teammates, fans, followers, media and all of you who made the dream come true this; your Work and Unconditional support has been a major part of winning the World Cup.

In reference to what happened today. Although it is true that for my part I do not want to interfere with the multiple legal processes taking place, I am forced to denounce that the words of Mr. Luis Rubiales explaining the unfortunate incident are definitely wrong and part of the culture he is manipulative. himself is formed.

I made it clear that at no time did the conversation refer to Mr. Luis Rubiales and, far from it, he consented to the kiss. In the same way I want to repeat as I did at the time that this fact I do not like.

The situation caused me a shock because of the context of the celebration and, over time and after studying more deeply the first feelings, I feel the need to denounce this fact because I consider no one, in any field of work, sports or Social should be the victim of this type of non-consensual behavior. I felt vulnerable and the victim of aggression, an impulsive, sexist, out of place act and without any kind of consent on my part.

It’s just not respected.

I was asked to make a joint statement to relieve the pressure on the president, but at that moment in my mind I only had the idea to enjoy the historic milestone reached with my teammates. For this reason, I have at all times told the RFEF and its various interlocutors, as well as the media and people I trust that I will not make any kind of individual or joint statement regarding the matter this, because I understood that, if I did, it would take away more fame. in such a special moment for my colleagues and for me”

Despite my decision, I have to say that I am under constant pressure to come up with a statement that can justify what Mr. Luis Rubiales did. Not only that, but in different ways and through different people, RFEF forced my environment (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) to give testimony that had little or nothing to do with my feelings .

It is not up to me to evaluate communication skills and integrity, but I am sure that as a World Champion National Team we do not deserve a manipulative, hostile and controlling culture. This type of incident joins a long list of situations that we players have been protesting over the years, so this fact, where I am involved, is just the straw that broke the camel’s back and what was seen of all. , but attitudes like these have been part of our team’s daily life for years.

For all these reasons, I want to strengthen the position I took from the beginning, considering that I do not have to support the person who took this action against my will, without respecting me, at a historical moment for to me and for women’s sport. in this world. country.

In any case it cannot be my responsibility to accept the consequences of sending something I do not believe in, which is why I refused the pressures received.

ZERO TOLERANCE to these attitudes.

I want to close by making it clear that although I am the one expressing these words, all the players in Spain and in the world have given me the strength to issue this statement. Faced with such a display of disrespect and inability to recognize one’s own mistakes and accept the consequences, I have decided not to play for the National Team again as the current leaders continue.

Thank you all for the messages of support and words of encouragement received. I know I’m not alone and thanks to all of you we will be more united. I am leaving this issue to the people I trust at TMJ and FUTPRO and they will continue to work on the next steps based on recent events.

#Finished

Jenny is beautiful”
