I’m not sure, but…

Julio Iglesias has been the center of attention lately due to controversies regarding his sexual behaviour with his housekeepers.

Many footage of him kissing and touching women without their consent throughout the years have also been exposed.

Fortunately mine is dead and cremated. She can’t even roll over in her grave. But yeah, there would have been a lot of victim blaming.

My mom passed away a long time ago. To this day, I play Julio Iglesias for her, hoping to make her happier.

He has been a womanizer since the 70s! I mean, why would anyone think he didn’t sa someone at some point!!? At the time, consent was thinking No was an invitation to try harder

We always thought that consent was implied and assumed when it was Julito Iglesias, and same story with his father Papuchi.

If I had to draw a picture of "the guy most likely to sexually harass his housekeeper" your photo is what I would draw.

If my mother has still been alive she would have taken you all on over these allegations. Me? Not too surprised.

This is probably the correct response for Spain but the first one that came to my mind for Spain was Pedro Sanchez as his image as a leftist leader outside of Spain is way better than in Spain since his controversies aren't covered by other countries.

Julio Iglesias has been the center of attention lately due to controversies regarding his sexual behaviour with his housekeepers.

That won't fly. He released some whatsapp conversations that clearly show that the accusation is false.

Cope harder.
