Cristiano Ronaldo

[Alex]

Hes a very wealthy dude, with lots of pretty rabid fans. Is it that the woman has only now felt she can come forward?

Or was it that it was suppressed for 9 years?

[Fuzzy]

Yeah I meant just the timing of the alleged rape and these new accusations, which perfectly coincide with his time at Madrid. Could just be a coincidence though.

I haven't read any of it closely, but how is it possible this was kept under wraps for 9 years, and now it's out almost as soon he leaves Madrid - RM lawyers?

She signed an NDA.

As with many women in similar situations, she realised the NDA is probably worthless as a result of the Weinstein allegations and #metoo movement so she's going public, and rightly so (if the allegations are true).

I doubt this has anything to do with Real Madrid.

[ChesterDave]

The lack of coverage of this over here is a bit shocking.

I'm surprised too. Possible fear of consequences given THE NDA?

Often report tween/Instagram #metoo allegations so odd this is ignored somewhat

[Leyton388]

Yeah he's ****ed.

The NDA applies to her, not to reporting, and it's a civil issue, so that can't be a reason. Maybe there's just not a lot to say on the matter at the moment.

It's just made the headline on BBC Sport

[Norbs]

He's toast. I bet Lance Armstrong and Ben Johnson are having a chuckle

[Gray]

I thought he was gay.

[Norbs]

If he is then he's taken the charade a bit far IMO

[fidget]

If you read the actual document you'll see that Ronaldo's high priced solicitors (and their "friends" inthe LV police) made it very clear that signing the NDA and making it all go away would be preferable to having her life ruined by them.

[red g]

Not the first time this sort of accusation has been levelled at ROnaldo.

[Buzzo]

It’s ****ing grim.

Raping someone and then paying your way out of it as if that makes it ok.

[Fosterbloke]

Allegedly.

[Fivex]

Well nobody's disputing the NDA was signed as far as i can tell.
