assaulted? He said it was consensual. Why do you choose to believe her instead of him?
Because it happened live and they have no relationship other than Boss Employee. She was on an award podium expecting a congratulations from her boss when he grabbed her and kissed her. He has no excuse and his example is the wrong one for these arguments. He screwed up big time and was unapologetic about it. Refused to apologize said it was consensual. Refused to accept his penalty. He forced things to go this way. He also has a history of being a scumbag like this in highly public events and in front of Spanish Royalty.
At the end of the day no woman should have to deal with being grabbed and kissed by her boss especially on international TV. What if it were your wife, girlfriend or daughter? What about the damage to her reputation? Everyone is wondering if there is something between her and her boss. How much harm does that do to her future playing for the national team and endorsements?
