During the trial concerning Luis Rubiales' alleged sexual assault and coercion of Jenni Hermoso, she testified how a joyous moment turned into a traumatic experience. Hermoso stated she never consented to the kiss Rubiales gave her during the celebrations and described feeling disrespected. She emphasized how Rubiales' actions were completely inappropriate for a workplace setting and highlighted the emotional impact on her life, sharing thoughts about a statement released in her name that she had not agreed to and was unaware of.
I didn't hear or understand any of it at the time, the 34-year-old player told the court. The next thing was that he put his hands over my ears and kissed me on the mouth.
I felt it was totally out of place and I then realised my boss was kissing me, and this shouldn't happen in any social or workplace setting.
One of the happiest days of my life was tarnished and I think it's very important for me to say that I never sought, much less expected, that this would happen.
I skimmed it and I did not agree to any of the statements that were released in my name.
