A recent trial began on Monday involving a footballer, Beautiful Jenni, and the former president of the Spanish Federation, Luis Rubiales. The case revolves around an incident where Rubiales kissed Beautiful Jenni on the lips during the World Cup final. Beautiful Jenni stated, “They stained one of the happiest days of my life, and for me it is very important to say that at no time I looked for that act, much less I expected it.” She expressed feeling out of context and surprised by her boss’s actions, emphasizing that such behavior should not happen in any social or labor setting.
Beautiful Jenni was the first witness to testify in the trial of Rubiales, which is not only about the kiss but also about alleged coercions that the player claims to have experienced. The incident in question occurred on August 23, 2023, when the Spanish women’s team won the World Cup in Sydney and received their medals. During the celebration, Rubiales congratulated Beautiful Jenni by grabbing her head with both hands and kissing her on the lips, then giving her two pats on the back before letting her go. This gesture sparked widespread indignation on social media and led to significant backlash against Rubiales, including a suspension from FIFA and calls for his resignation from various parties, including the Government of Spain.
