Luis Rubiales is facing growing calls to resign as new disturbing photos emerge from Spain’s Women’s World Cup celebrations. Rubiales has already caused outrage by forcibly kissing star Jennifer Hermoso without consent after Sunday’s victory over England.
As demands increase for him to step down from his post, even more troubling images have now surfaced. The photos show Rubiales lifting midfielder Athenea del Castillo over his shoulders — fueling concerns about his disturbing behavior towards the female players.
Rubiales has refused to back down, despite an ongoing sexual assault investigation sparked by his unwanted advances on Hermoso. Sources say he even begged Hermoso to star in a twisted apology video to try and save his job. But the scandal only intensifies with these new photos of Rubiales manhandling another player during celebrations.
Along with the kissing controversy, Rubiales faces allegations of abusive conduct towards female colleagues. One claims he fixated on her undergarments. Others say he created a controlling environment for Spain’s women.
Adding to the furor, coach Jorge Vilda also appears to grope a staff member in newly obtained video. As the disturbing details pile up, outrage is reaching a fever pitch. Resignation demands grow louder, but Rubiales remains defiant amid this explosive sexual misconduct scandal rocking Spanish soccer.
With his predatory behavior now out in the open, many are calling for real change to empower Spain’s talented women and ensure their safety from leaders who’ve disrespected them at every turn. The fallout from this growing scandal is just beginning.
