Luis Rubiales shares video of Ladies’s Staff’s response to kiss incident with FIFA

The embattled boss of Spanish soccer, Luis Rubiales, has shared a recently-surfaced clip with FIFA amid criticism following their World Cup win. The video exhibits the ladies’s soccer staff’s reactions in response to the infamous kiss incident.

Journalist Alvise Perez shared the video on X, beforehand often called Twitter.

Jenni Hermoso is seen laughing within the video whereas watching a meme of herself getting kissed by Rubiales.

Following this incident, FIFA suspended him for 90 days, and Spain is actively demanding his elimination from his place.

However, he has steadfastly refused to resign, and his mom has even gone on a starvation strike in his defence.

It has now been revealed that he transmitted the video to FIFA headquarters in an try and clear his identify.

An in depth supply near him advised MailOnline: “This video is gold dust for Rubiales.

“All alongside we have now mentioned for Jenni to inform the reality. There was no sexual assault. If there was why was she laughing and joking?”

“She waited greater than three days to make a grievance, if she was that offended why not say one thing right away and why joke about it with staff mates?”

Despite Rubiales’ insistence he did nothing wrong, Spain’s government, its players’ unions, soccer clubs, fans and most importantly, Hermoso and her teammates, saw his act as a sexist abuse of power that was no longer tolerable.

FIFA, the world soccer governing body, suspended Rubiales for 90 days, and Spain’s government is moving to have him declared unfit to hold the post.

The condemnation of Rubiales, who also grabbed his crotch in a lewd victory gesture within sight of Spain’s Queen Letizia and teenage daughter, Princess Sofía, following Spain’s victory in the August 20 final, has spread beyond the government and the powers-that-be in soccer.

Fans at men’s games last weekend in the popular La Liga chanted for Rubiales to go, while hundreds rallied in downtown Madrid in support of Hermoso.

Rubiales had the chance to step down on Friday. Instead, he delivered a tirade to his federation members, claiming to be the victim of a witch hunt by “false feminists.”

While sexism has traditionally run deep in Spain, Rubiales has discovered himself out of step with the nation’s quickly altering social mores.
