Baffles me why you'd pay over a quarter of a million if you were innocent.

I get that is pocket change for him but still to the public it's effectively an admission of guilt.

but still to the public it's effectively an admission of guilt.

An easy assumption to make. Or, NDA of an admitted act, that the disclosure of would harm the brand.

Which it now has.

Because he is as guilty as sin

Yeah I know but the layperson won't consider the 'brand' aspect of it - they'll just see it as 'if you're innocent, then what have you got to worry about' aspect of it.

Personally I think these celebs are fools to pay any money out. As shown with Stormy Daniels and now this, NDAs delay the inevitable because you can't really react if they break it and seek damages because it'd make you look twice as bad.

Noticed a big difference in how he appears to be being treated compared to those stars or personalities accused of sexual crimes in Hollywood, If he was a Hollywood star or producer he'd prob be getting vilified and presumed guilty now? Lucky for him he's a footballer and not a film star. Or is that only if there are multiple accusations?

Do you think it's because he is not English and therefore not as "interesting" to the media as an English/American celebrity. Imagine if the allegation was about Wayne Rooney. He'd be vilified.

100 percent his nationality

The absolute state of that.

My heart goes to out to any woman, man or child who has been a victim of sexual abuse, it's a vile and indefensible crime, Those women slagging him off without knowing any facts or having any concrete evidence though came across very, very poorly.

Could potentially be in more hot water - there's supposedly another leak due to hit about a "world star" and "multiple champions league winner" failing a drugs test..

I don't mate, at the moment it's just rumours. It's apparently rolled up in the Der Spiegal leaks that are beginning to surface:

Doubt that's Cristiano, he's famously teetotal.
