Since Luis Rubiales kissed Jennifer Hermoso on the mouth during the delivery of the Women’s Soccer World Cup trophies, there is no talk of anything else. The act of the president, now temporarily disabled, of the Royal Spanish Football Federation has been described by the player as something “not consented” and that has made her feel “vulnerable and victim of aggression”.
After all, something different has happened every day that has turned the case around and has kept it in the media landscape. The latest has been the hunger strike of the mother of the leader in the Divina Pastor church in Motril, which she has maintained since last Monday “until Jenni tells the truth.” With all this, Tamara Ramos, Rubiales’ former partner, has not hesitated to return to a set to recount the hard experience, according to her, that she lived next to her.
It is not the first time that the current General Director of the Futbolistas ON union has granted an interview on television since the Rubiales case broke. Tamara Ramos coincided working with the leader between 2012 and 2017, when she was marketing director of the Association of Spanish Soccer Players and he was president. “I have experienced humiliation, blows and words that I cannot repeat due to the schedule,” she said a week ago.
Ramos assured that he denounced Rubiales ten years ago, after everything that happened, but that he has decided to show his face now because “it is easier” for them to believe it. Following his words, the RFEF assured that the accusations were “false” and that “he has maintained personal contact with President Luis Rubiales throughout this time and has even sent him family images, congratulated him on his birthday and recently requested a position as I work in the Federation.
Now, Tamara Ramos has decided to speak again for The Summer Program and thus defend her truth. “I sued him. Everything is in court and I did what I had to do. If I tell this ten years ago, nobody believes me,” she has begun to recount. In addition, she wanted to make it clear that many of her colleagues at that time understood what she was going through, but did nothing for “the fear of losing your job.”
However, and despite having spent several years working by her side, everything would have started to change during her first pregnancy: “She constantly harassed me. In a meeting she told me: ‘This one is pregnant, her brain cells have gone'”.
But that is not all. She wanted to make it clear what was the atmosphere that, according to her, was in the office. “As I entered, from the way I had to step, I knew if it was funny, if it was aggressive, if it was sarcastic. It was super-aggressive, suddenly it came to you and punched you on the table from behind. Or kicked the doors “, has assured the former director of AFE.
For things like this, Tamara Ramos decided to denounce Rubiales. “She arrived on the day of the trial and she took all the employees to coerce me and make me feel small,” she recounted. “The judge said that there was no way I could go back to work with that man and we needed to reach an agreement,” she added.
But he has not only wanted to explain his experience, but also to comment on what is happening today. Tamara Ramos blames “all the people who applauded” at the Las Rozas event for everything that happens and she believes “that they should resign from the first to the last.”
“He is very sure with the baton. It is his psychopathic way of how he is,” he added. Finally, he wanted to make it clear that “the problem is not Rubiales alone, it is the entire system and how it is orchestrated”, and that if he disappears tomorrow, the same thing will happen again “if he does not change”.
