    Luis Rubiales has declined to offer an apology to Jenni Hermoso for the kiss on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory and remains firm that the “truth will come out.”

    The former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) resigned from his position on Sunday, citing mounting criticism and calls for his resignation as the reason. Rubiales acknowledged that he could no longer carry out his duties in the aftermath of the kiss incident, which Spain forward Hermoso stated was not consensual, occurring after the country’s 1-0 Women’s World Cup final win over England on August 20.

    However, during the full interview on TalkTV, the 46-year-old maintained that the kiss was “mutual” and expressed no concern about potential criminal charges. He is set to appear before a court in Spain after prosecutors initiated a case against him for “the crimes of sexual assault and coercion.”

    When asked if he would personally apologise to Hermoso, Rubiales said: “So what happened is bad for everyone. We had Jenni lifting me. We had the fleeting kiss, two tenths of a second, but what was created from that is crazy. So what’s left for me is to defend my dignity. So it’s not about that Piers, it’s about humility.”

    When asked three more times if he would apologise to Hermoso, he continued: “So what we had is a spontaneous act, a mutual act, an act that both consented to, which was driven by the emotion of the moment, the happiness, so I maintain that that is the truth of what happened.”

    Luis Rubiales was observed kissing several members of Spain’s World Cup-winning team on the cheek as they received their winners’ medals and, in some instances, even lifted them in the air. He also lifted Athenea del Castillo onto his shoulders and held her by the back of her thighs during the post-match celebrations. These actions have been a subject of controversy and debate, with differing perspectives on whether they were consensual and appropriate.

    When asked if he would have acted the same way towards the men’s team, Rubiales replied: “No doubt about it, 100 per cent… when I was a player, there were many moments where we avoided relegation or we got promotion, where we have given what we call pecks on the lips.”

    Luis Rubiales is scheduled to testify as a defendant on Friday as part of the lawsuit against him. Despite the legal proceedings, he appeared to be confident and relaxed when questioned about the situation. It remains to be seen how the case will develop and what the outcome will be.

    He said: “I am a lawyer, I am a Spanish citizen, I have been through many processes, criminal as well, and nothing has ever stuck. Again, I have full faith that the truth will come out and everything will be fine. Take a look at my face, I am a good guy. Look at my face, look at me in the eyes.”

    Luis Rubiales, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), has decided to step down from his position in the aftermath of the controversy surrounding his kiss on Jenni Hermoso following Spain’s 2023 World Cup victory.

    Rubiales has confirmed his intention to resign as RFEF president, acknowledging that he can no longer continue in his role due to increasing demands for his resignation following the incident that occurred after Spain’s 1-0 final win over England on August 20.

    In an interview on the Talk TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, he said: “I love my daughters so much and they love me so, so much. I am very happy and very proud of them, they are very dear to me.

    “About my resignation, yes I am going to do [that]. I am going to [resign] because I cannot continue my work.”

    Pressed on the final moment that pushed him to make the decision, Rubiales replied: “My daughters, I spoke with them and they know it’s not a question about me. They say to me, Luis you have to focus on your dignity and continue your life. If not probably you are going to damage people you love and the sport you love.”

    In a separate statement, Luis Rubiales confirmed his resignation, marking a significant change in his stance after initially refusing to step down last month. Previously, he had asserted that the kiss on Jenni Hermoso was “mutual” and “consensual.” However, he has now chosen to resign from his position as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

    Amid a growing controversy, Luis Rubiales, the head of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), has been fiercely criticized by Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, in a stunning statement.

    Rubiales has come under intense scrutiny following an incident in which he was seen embracing and kissing Jennifer Hermoso after Spain’s victory in the 2023 World Cup final against England.

    Numerous figures within the football community, including the English national team, have voiced their condemnation of Rubiales’ behavior.

    The Spanish government has initiated an inquiry into Rubiales’ actions, and now La Liga’s president has launched a scathing attack on his counterpart at the RFEF.

    In addition to the controversial incident, Rubiales was also observed making an offensive gesture from his seat during the match against England. Tebas contends that these actions have not only tarnished his own reputation but have also undermined the dignity of the entire nation. The use of strong language, such as calling Rubiales a “madman,” underscores the severity of the situation and the intense reaction it has elicited from various quarters.

    Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: “It is unworthy to coerce the players of the National Team and focus on them or on their reaction. They are not guilty of the image of Spain given by Rubiales.

    “No opportunism or political hypocrisy justifies that the image of Spain has been represented by a madman touching his genitals, forcing kisses, carrying players like a sack and touching (Hermoso) inappropriately at such an important moment.

    “It is not a question of left or right, Rubiales not only undermined Jenni’s dignity with his attitude, but also that of Spain.”

    As Luis Rubiales continues to assert his innocence, Javier Tebas’ involvement can be seen as a pivotal moment in the ongoing narrative. Tebas’ intervention is arguably the most noteworthy development in what has evolved into a protracted and complex saga.

    Alexia Putellas, the Ballon d’Or winner and World Cup champion for Spain, has commented on the Luis Rubiales kissing incident.

    For the past two weeks, a story involving Luis Rubiales and Jennifer Hermoso has dominated the news in Spain.

    Following Spain’s 1-0 victory over England in the World Cup final, Rubiales grabbed Hermoso and kissed her, setting off a whirlwind of controversy.

    Since then, 81 players have said they will not play for Spain again, and a probe into Rubiales‘ actions has been launched.

    He insists that the kiss was “consensual,” and it’s been reported that he sent FIFA a video of Hermoso smiling about the situation. However, the controversy has raised concerns about how female players and teams are treated in comparison to men’s teams.

    And La Roja’s talisman, Barcelona star Putellas, feels that the Spanish football organization (RFEF) must take action to advocate for the players.

    Since the RFEF requested to be removed from UEFA competitions because of state involvement, the regulatory body declined their request. They haven’t exactly done themselves any favours.

    “We all want the same thing, for there be respect for our profession the same as there has been for so many years in the men’s. We fight for that. It is clear that the union between the players is the first step, and I will always defend that the player is a player [first and foremost].” Putellas told TUDN.

    “For my generation it’s been up to us to be more than just players to achieve that, but the legacy we want to leave is that they no longer have to worry about these things. It is not our job to be in meetings to get better infrastructures, better facilities.

    “We need executives and institutions to fight for that so that we can be focused on what we like and what we believe people deserve [playing football].”

    After calling an emergency meeting, the RFEF unanimously decided to support Pedro Rocha, “to lead a new stage of dialogue and reconciliation with all of the football institutions,” the statement read.

    Rubiales was replaced by Rocha after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee temporarily barred the president from all national and international football-related activities for 90 days.

    The outcome of the disciplinary action taken against Rubiales on Thursday, August 24, will be used to make a more long-term determination about his future.

    Additionally, FIFA regulations prohibit the head of the RFEF from directly or indirectly contacting Jennifer Hermoso.

    “After the recent events and the unacceptable behaviours that have seriously damaged the image of Spanish football, the presidents request that, immediately, Mr. Luis Rubiales submits his resignation as president of the RFEF [Royal Spanish Football Federation]”, the RFEF said on behalf of the committee of regional presidents.

    The consequences come after the RFEF president kissed Hermoso on the lips without her consent in the aftermath of Spain’s Women’s World Cup final win over England. Though Rubiales issued a public apology, vowing to “learn from this” after a furious backlash against his actions at Stadium Australia, he refused to resign from his post.

    He said in a press conference: “The time has come to say something. I was wrong and it was not the time to make that gesture. Do you think it is serious enough for me to suffer through this hunt? Is it serious enough for me to leave?

    “I am not going to resign. I am not going to resign. I am not going to resign. What have I done? I’m going to fight until the end. I want to explain this peck, not a kiss, a peck. The feeling behind that kiss was the same with which I would give my daughter a kiss. There was no dominance.”

    During that same speech, Rubiales insisted the kiss was “spontaneous, mutual and consensual”, stating that “she told me, ‘You are a star’, and I said, ‘A little peck?‘ and it happened.”

    Hermoso responded to the odd statement on consent by confirming its false nature: “I felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven, sexist, out of place act without any consent on my part. Simply put, I was not respected.”

    The entire Spanish national squad has come out in favour of Hermoso and signed a petition promising not to represent their nation once more until the president of the football federation steps down from his position. Similar letters of support have been signed and circulated by men’s national team players, while other La Liga team presidents have issued remarks condemning Rubiales.

    The hashtags #ContigoJenny and #SeAcabo are used by players all around the world to declare their devotion.

    Luis Rubiales‘ mother, Angeles Bejar, has gone on a hunger strike and begged Jenni Hermoso to “tell the truth” in a statement.

    Following his conduct at the 2023 Women’s World Cup final, Rubiales generated unwanted headlines and found himself in the midst of a political and sporting maelstrom.

    Rubiales grabbed the winning players after the match, which saw Spain defeat England 1-0, and kissed Barcelona attacker Hermoso on the lips.

    Despite rising calls for him to resign, he has refused to do so despite receiving plenty of criticism following an eventful medal ceremony in Sydney.

    Several leading stars in Spain have vowed not to represent their national team again until Rubiales is removed from power – with FIFA having stepped in to suspend him from all football-related activity.

    Bejar is devastated that her son is now the focus of a “cruel” story.

    Hermoso was asked to “tell the truth” and “maintain the version she had at the beginning of events” after initially brushing off the encounter. She has reiterated Rubiales’ claims that there was “consent on both sides” regarding a now-famous kiss.

    Bejar has since moved her protest to the Divina Pastora de Motril church, where she made a promise to EFE that she would continue her hunger strike “indefinitely, day and night” until what she considered to be justice was served.

    She has said that “what they are doing with my son is something that he does not deserve”.

    Bejar reveals that Rubiales is “incapable of harming anyone” and is hoping to see his name cleared in an unfortunate saga.

    Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish FA, hit back at “bullsh*t” critics of his behavior at the Women’s World Cup, where he kissed Jenni Hermoso.

    Rubiales took part in the exuberant celebrations for Spain as they defeated England 1-0 in the final game in Sydney.

    When the medals were awarded, he was on stage and caused a stir by grabbing and kissing the winners from Jorge Vilda’s team.

    Currently, Rubiales is attempting to defend his actions by claiming that he was overcome by the emotion of a historic event.

    He has told El Partidazo of his passionate clinch with Barcelona star Hermoso: “It’s a peak of two friends celebrating something. We’re not here for bullsh*t. Me, with everything I’ve been through, more bullsh*t and more as*holes, no.

    “Let’s ignore it and enjoy the good stuff and don’t even tell me things about losers who can’t see [the positive].

    “It is a thing without evil. If there are fools, let them continue with their nonsense. There are more fools than windows. Let’s pay attention to those who are not fools. It is something without evil and nonsense.”

    Rubiales added to Radio Marca: “The kiss with Jenni? There are idiots everywhere.

    “When two people have an insignificant show of affection, we cannot pay attention to idiocy. We are champions, and with that, I stay.”

    Hermoso said shortly after the incident in question: “I did not enjoy that”, but she has now spoken out in defence of Rubiales.

    She has said through AFP and the Spanish Football Federation: “It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings.

    “The president and I have a great relationship, his behaviour with all of us has been outstanding and it was a natural gesture of affection and gratitude.

    “A gesture of friendship and gratitude cannot be gone over so much, we have won a World Cup and we are not going to deviate from what is important.”

    Olga Carmona scored the sole goal for Spain against the courageous Lionesses, and it was later found that her father had died shortly before the most important time in her football career.
