Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) President Luis Rubiales has admitted he “made a mistake” by giving Spain star Jennifer Hermoso a surprise kiss on the lips after the 33-year-old received her gold medal following the team’s Women’s World Cup final victory over England on Sunday.
Rubiales has faced widespread criticism for the incident, with politicians and journalists labeling his behavior “unacceptable” and “simply disgusting.”

You are assuming the things she has to say to keep her job are her opinion.

Also untrue if you think it through. Anything other than pressing charges independently of her public statements is creating an environment where your boss might sexually assault you on live TV and get away with it so long as he has the power to end your career.
I think what the other people are alluding to is the power imbalance here is what takes this from inappropriate to scandalous - that’s my take on it, anyway…
I feel the need to clarify that inappropriate is still an offence and technically this is assault, but the level of pressure to not make a scene is the ‘multiplier’ (on the scale of wrongness - sorry, my metaphors aren’t working today)
Yes and no. Victims aren’t always free to speak their minds. She said she didn’t mind but this is regarded as a preservation tactic due to a sexist environment.
When did she say she didn’t mind? I saw the video of her saying she didn’t like it
I’m sorry, the quote correct is this. So she’s not saying she didn’t mind, but more like ‘let’s move on’, which is a similar downplaying of what happened. The point was that her opinion isn’t all-important, because she has an interest in keeping her career.

She says she didn’t like it for once. She’s gay, second. And he even entered the women’s change room after. The dude is clearly a weirdo creep
