The issue became public as a result of the publication on social networks of photos and chats of a woman with the initials MF who denounced the player Lucas Rodriguez, his ex-partner, for beatings and insults. Among the images he shared on his Instagram are scrapes and bruises.
Rodríguez, meanwhile, published a video in their stories on the same social network noting that the captures in question with chats between the two are “taken out of context.” The basketball player claimed that the woman deleted part of the messages that completed the conversation.
On the beatings, he commented: “I can’t understand if a person who really suffers violence, the first thing he wants to do is get away and never get closer.” However, Rodríguez said, she called and sent messages to get closer to him. “I cannot understand how a person returns if they are allegedly assaulted,” he added.
She also assured that the blows were made by herself after throwing herself out of the car while he was driving.
The player indicated that he also made the complaint for “false accusations.” “Everything is in the hands of justice, I am very calm and that is why I am showing my face,” he said.
MF, for his part, wrote an extensive letter on his Instagram profile where he defined the player as a “liar, manipulative and violent” person. She also stated that her ex-father-in-law “hanged” her on one occasion.
She said that the relationship started in January of this year and that she lived with the player’s family at home. He also remarked that while he was with him, he learned that he had “precautionary measures” against an ex-partner. In addition, he added: “Later he told me that he had an ankle brace due to a fight with a man.”
“After that, the manipulations and mistreatments began. Insults towards me, he isolated me from everyone, he kept my things, with my car, when he wanted to leave his house he threatened me, he hanged me, he even broke everything what was in his room when I wanted to go, “he said.
MF explained that as a “protective measure” he now has an electronic ankle brace: “Thank God he has it, at least I can be at home safely.”
“I make this public so that they don’t believe him anymore and I don’t end up hitting him like us and killing someone,” he concluded.
