Hermoso talks regarding the kiss scandal: “Victim of an assault, macho act”
This is the story of Spain’s soccer heroine Jennifer Hermoso. The striker had no idea what happened to her following Australia’s 1-0 win over England when RFEF President Luis Rubiales held her head and kissed her on the mouth without being asked at the awards ceremony.
Immediately following the final of the Women’s World Cup, the striker said in a video that she didn’t like it. Now she has commented on the kiss scandal in detail via Instagram for the first time – and gave insights into her inner life: “I felt vulnerable and as a victim of an attack, an impulsive, macho act that was inappropriate and that I did not agree to. Simply put, I wasn’t respected.”
Luis Rubiales defends himself once morest allegations and does not resign
Association President Rubiales has since been massively criticized from many quarters and asked to resign. He rejected this step in a defiant defense speech at an extraordinary general meeting of the RFEF football association, which he leads, in Madrid on Friday. Hermoso picked him up at the award ceremony in Sydney, pulled him to her body and expressly agreed to the kiss.
Hermoso, on the other hand, made it clear in her statement that she had not been asked and had by no means given her consent. The kiss was not consensual. She will not play for Spain’s national team once more as long as the current leadership stays in her post. All of her teammates in the Spanish selection also joined this boycott.

Resignation from Spain men’s national team, government opposes Luis Rubiales
Hermoso emphasized that Rubiales’ action on the final day was not exceptional. “These types of incidents are among a long list of situations that players have condemned over the years,” she wrote. “This incident that I was involved in is the limit and what everyone was able to witness live on TV during our celebration is part of the attitude that we were able to see this morning and that has been part of our everyday life as a team for years,” criticized Hermoso.
What’s next in Spain? With Borja Iglesias, a player from the men’s national team has even resigned – in protest once morest Rubiales. And even the government is getting involved: “Obviously we will do everything in our power to ensure that this gentleman, who can hardly be described as a worthy representative of Spanish football, is no longer at the top of Spanish football,” said Spain’s executive vice -Prime Minister and Minister for Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, the Europa Press news agency.
Hermoso breaks silence on the kiss scandal, the association threatens her with a lawsuit
The next step is as follows: The association threatens Hermoso with a lawsuit. Following their statement, the RFEF countered with a statement announcing it would “take appropriate legal action to defend the President’s honor.” Four attached photos were used to demonstrate that the President is not lying and that his version is absolutely true. However, the association does not address the kiss in the statement. Attempts by RFEF to contact Hermoso “never succeeded”. (akl/dpa/sid)
