Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed as "fake news" accusations by a US woman who alleges she was raped by the Portuguese footballer in 2009.
In an Instagram video, Ronaldo said: "They want to promote [themselves] by [using] my name. It's normal." Ronaldo's lawyers say they will sue Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, which originally reported the allegations.
The magazine wrote that Kathryn Mayorga had claimed Ronaldo, 33, raped her in a hotel room in Las Vegas. Ms Mayorga, 34, is reported to have filed a rape report with Las Vegas police shortly after the alleged incident. In 2010, she reportedly reached an out-of-court settlement with Ronaldo involving a $375,000 (£288,000) payment for agreeing never to go public with the allegations. Her lawyers are now seeking to declare the non-disclosure agreement void.

Another attempt at setting up a big GoF***Me account.
Guilty!! Trial later.
> Her lawyers are now seeking to declare the non-disclosure agreement void.
What’s the point of a non-disclosure agreement when they still feel entitled to just put it all out there later, and still keep the money?
yea because Ronaldo in 2009 had ot rape a woman to be with her, good grief when is this going to stop.
If there’s one dude on earth I would believe it’s Ronaldo. He has literally billions of women who would drop their pantries for him.
exactly
Ronaldo isn’t a chick magnet. He’s a chick magnetar.
ETL, did I use the word correctly?

That's breach of contract -- obviously she's out of money, but he should countersue her and her lawyers into debtor's prison.
I am absolutely prepared to discount completely, a woman’s claim of assault, if there is only her testimony. I will not send a man to prison on the basis of a claim, absent all other forensic evidence. As a juror, that is my evolving position.
Absolutely.
No 911 call the night of
No rape kit
No crime
Never again
Wonder if she’ll testify against him, wearing a school marm’s blue suit, big goofy glasses and talk like a little baby girl. Maybe she’ll names 4 people who were there & they will all sign sworn statement that they weren’t. Maybe everything she will say is a pack of rehearsed lies scripted for her by slimy lawyers.
Then they will throw Ronaldo out of soccer forever.
the whole point is to destroy one of the foundational documents of any capitalist business - the NDA
but courts should turn it around and rightfully charge the woman and her attorney with extortion. Rather than go to court with a shaky rape charge in the first place, they agreed to a contractual solution. She accepted a business contract - to protect both reputations. One party spending the 1/3-million dollar proceeds and then violating the contract is still breech of contract. It’s like selling your house for half a mil, then coming back 5 years later and suing the buyer for more money because the house now appraises higher.
