@cr7 this literally sounds like you lmao [and I wouldn’t even be surprised] but anyway, to answer the question: I won’t be back with daily updates, I don’t have the time nor motivation for that. I’ll stick to occasional gifsets when I feel like it or someone has a request, and that’s it. but thanks to you and the other anon [hi, I got the message, just thought answering once is enough] for even asking/caring :)

shit I only saw this now, I didn’t get any notifaction sorry :/ I guess this is about the Atletico match? I haven’t heard of any argument but if you are still curious/haven’t found out what that was about yet, you can link me the video! 

I felt exactly the same! but I don’t think anyone really meant any harm because I believe most people weren’t around when Cristiano played in England and had no idea about the connotation. I have seen several Madridistas calling him that as well and it always annoyed me but I also didn’t want to start a discourse since the intentions weren’t bad. I’m still glad we are talking about it now though! 

honestly that whole post was a mess. Cristiano is not a loser and neither is Torres. but that specific comment reached an entirely new level of stupidity, besides it being incredibly disrespectful [even dragging a 6 yo into it like??? how messed up do you have to be] it also didn’t make any sense whatsoever. I don’t have a clue how a person even comes up with such an argumentation but apparently it is possible. it was obviously written by a very immature person with the mind set of... let’s say some time ago. you could say a lot more about it but I think we are all over it now and shouldn’t give such people any more attention, it’s just not worth it.

it’s on youtube! here and @cr7 also posted a transcript + translation for the parts where he speaks portuguese here (just in case you don’t speak it)

lmao I kind of got used to it, it’s just funny to me. but I should still change my icon some time soon 😅

ugh you are not alone, I missed it too and I don’t understand why? I even downloaded an app to record it lol but thankfully somebody else was able to do it and we can always rewatch it so nothing to be upset about after all :)

I’m so sorry I forgot to respond but I don’t have anything to add anyway, you pretty much said what I am thinking too! but as long as there are no new reports I don’t think he will ever talk about it :/

thanks for letting me know! that’s really interesting yet we can’t assume just because the assault isn’t listed there that it was never actually reported to the police, because, while this site seems really helpful, it doesn’t necessarily show all crimes reported :/

Yes I read that article from TMZ, the problem with it is that they state “we also reached out to law enforcement in Vegas but they had no record of a sexual assault allegation involving Ronaldo from 2009”. Der Spiegel made it clear that Susan K. called the police but did not mention any names, she only referred to the man as “a public figure” and “an athlete” So now it would be interesting to know if TMZ really just asked concretely about Cristiano [which would explain why they didn’t find anything] or if maybe they asked about any reported sexual assault around that time?

Something really interesting @pseuicide just mentioned is this instagram post. I’ll just copy paste the caption: “It is claimed the call to the police was made at 2:16pm on June 13th. I have included the 911 dispatch logs for the Las Vegas metropolitan police on June 12th and 13th for the assault category (code 426: sexual assault, falls under "assault") and there is not a single call made at 2:16pm??? I've also clicked on every single one and have not seen any under the 426 code. Yet they claim to have this police transcript of the call made. Why not release it then? It's public information!” There is also a photo added to it.

I have no clue how credible this is and how it is possible to actually look this up when you are not a police officer? But maybe it is possible and someone could enlighten me on this, because if this is legit it would change a lot.

Yes exactly, even if Cristiano only signs with “Cristiano Ronaldo” there should still be “Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro” printed under his signature, at least that’s what I’d expect considering so many lawyers worked on these papers for so long. Besides that something else I noticed is that in the original article Der Spiegel made clear that Cristiano’s lawyer signed the SA for him and that’s one of the main reasons the pseudonym “Mr. D” is connected to Cristiano. Only in a second article which they published a week later they included the document I linked in my last ask. That makes me wonder: why not publish this within the original article where your goal is to prove that “Mr. D” is Cristiano??? They were holding back documents that literally say “the true name and the identity of the person […] is Cristiano Ronaldo” and another one with the aforementioned signature yet they don’t provide this information in the main article??? This makes zero sense whatsoever. You can either call it stupidity or sketchy.

 The ‘funny’ thing is that before this second article I was pretty much convinced those documents are legitimate and really are about Cristiano like Der Spiegel claimed, but ever since that second article I’ve started to doubt it. It just doesn’t make sense to me why someone would hold back such vital information. 

So I have got several anons about this, I suppose it’s enough if I only answer this one. Sorry that it took me so long, I just wanted to take the time to answer this properly. It seems like you are already convinced that those claims are true and I won’t try to change your mind, I just wonder how well informed you are about this whole story and the actual evidence. So let’s try to be as objective as possible. 

I have seen several people argue that the story itself is made up/that Der Spiegel don’t have the evidence they claim to have and that their only goal is to denounce Cristiano, which to be fair isn’t a too far fetched assumption considering the timing they had for posting the “tax fraud” documents in December (that lead to absolutely nothing) as well as the timing in this case, it definitely puts their credibility in doubt.

But in contrast to those argumentations I personally believe that Der Spiegel wouldn’t make up an entire story based on nothing. But there are several questions you have to ask: How legitimate are those documents they have? their only source is FootballLeaks. Why does Der Spiegel refuse to publish more of said documents? If you have them and want people to believe you, you show your evidence, right? One of those documents that are provided as proof for Cristiano being the man behind “Mr. D” and “Topher” is this one. A signature from Cristiano under an official document… but only signed as “Cristiano Ronaldo” and not “Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro” a bit weird, to say the least. If you are German and read the whole article Der Spiegel’s intentions become pretty clear, but we shall not talk about journalistic integrity here. As you can see there are several questions to be asked that put the story and it’s evidence itself in doubt but as I mentioned before I would like to believe that Der Spiegel didn’t make up an entire story. Even though they are not what they once were, I personally read this newspaper regulary. I do understand why people choose to believe otherwise though.

So let’s talk about the, in my opinion, more important part: the Settlement Agreement itself, which the story mostly revolves around. One point that I want to make very clear and that a lot of people apparently don’t get is the following: let’s assume that this SA is legitimate and Cristiano is involved. A Settlement Agreement is no proof for rape. The only thing it proves is that there was an out of court agreement, money for silence. And that’s the part where things get sketchy and ugly, where it’s word against word. For me the actual important question that I have asked myself for the past 3 weeks and that I’d advice everyone else to ask themselves too after really looking into the entire story: Why was this SA set up? And, simply put, you have two answers: 1.Susan K.’s claims are true, Cristiano wanted the easy way out, paid some money and it’s like the night never happened. 2.Susan K. was out to make some money, Cristiano who just moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid didn’t want any bad PR about untrue allegations and decided to pay the money, which were peanuts to him. Both is possible, it wouldn’t be the first time that a powerful man uses his position to sweep a crime under the rug just like it wouldn’t be the first time that a woman uses a one night stand to make some money.

Now, what you choose to believe in, whether it’s Der Spiegel’s evidence being false, or Cristiano being falsely accused or Cristiano raping that woman, that’s entirely down to your judgement. I won’t tell anyone what to believe here. What in fact is pissing me off is your entitlement. Acting like he was proven guilty when there is hardly any evidence whatsoever. This is a very serious and sensitive topic that can cause a lot of harm for both parties involved. I will not walk around saying that these allegations are 100% not true, because I can’t possibly know. Same goes for you. Don’t come into my inbox acting like there was substantial evidence. There isn’t. If you come to the conclusion that Der Spiegel is trustworthy and that the SA was signed because Cristiano is in fact guilty, good for you, but don’t act like it’s a fact when it clearly is not.

At last some more words about my opinion because I was asked about it. I have spent the last 3 weeks reading this article over and over again. I talked to several people about it, some who like Cristiano, some who aren’t his biggest fans. I presented them the case as detailed as possible and I personally went into these discussions with the mindset that those allegations could very well be true. Not because I necessarily believed in them, but because I wanted to see it from that point of view, I did not want to be that person that blindly follows someone. I asked my friends/family over and over again “but do you think it is possible? have you considered it? what about ________ (insert evidence here)” I kept pushing because I wanted to take the possibility of him being guilty into consideration. That’s a big reason for why I haven’t been around here much, tbh at times I couldn’t even look at his face.

Now some time has passed, I thought and talked about it a lot and I personally came to the conclusion that I have to trust the person that I have supported for 13 years now. I do not claim that I know Cristiano, because I don’t but I’d like to think that I have a good idea of the person that he is, always has been. And that’s the person I choose to believe in. I’m a very rational and fact based person, it would be ridiculous for me to do otherwise at this point considering that Der Spiegel’s story itself is questionable and, as I said before, even if it is proven that the SA and other documents are credible it does not prove that Susan K.’s claims are true. I’d very much welcome it if Cristiano would speak up about it because there will always be a “what if?” in the back of my mind and, frankly, it’s killing me. That being said if there’s ever actual proof of those allegations being true I’d drop him in a heartbeat and never look back.

I’m pretty sure they are still together. there’s nothing indicating that they have broken up, at least nothing that I’m aware of :) 

awsdfghjkl same, this bust will never leave us 😩

me too! they usually seem a bit reserved in public which is why I appreciate those little moments even more. in contrast to (apparently??) a lot of people I like Gio a lot, at least from what I’ve heard and seen of her so far. she seems to get along really well with Cristiano’s family (the pics with Junior during the match vs Sweden were so sweet!) and friends and I hope they feel more comfortable in public soon. but if they don’t it’s perfectly fine too, I actually like it that they’re so private and protective of their relationship.

I’m sorry that you all are reminded of it now every day 😂😂😂 I really tried to make it look as pretty as possible! maybe I should have used the colors from Madeira’s flag…

it truly is horrific, Cristiano seems to be a bit unlucky when it comes to statues lmao. the guy who made it is from Madeira and his name is Emanuel Santos, he said it took him 15 days to create that bust. maybe he should have worked a tad bit longer on it.
