Cristiano Ronaldo Rape allegations "Fake News"
Recently, it has come to light that Cristiano Ronaldo, a famous Portuguese soccer player, allegedly raped a woman in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2009. Kathryn Maygora is the woman who claimed these allegations stating that see Ronaldo's face on billboards "cause her severe distress." Ronaldo responded to the allegations hours later stating "'No, no, no, no, no. What they said today, fake—fake news.'" Apparently Maygora signed a non disclosure agreement in 2010 but decided to make it public recently. Maygora's mother intensifies the allegation with apparent quotes from Kathryn calling her in distress whenever a picture of Ronaldo came up.
