News about the separation of the famous pair, pop singer Shakira and star football player Gerard Pique, broke recently. Suzy Cortez, a Brazilian model, made a huge statement, alleging that Pique used to send her inappropriate texts while he and Shakira were together. During an interview with a leading Spanish-newspaper, the Brazilian model revealed, "He was the one who sent me the most direct message. The only Barcelona players who never sent me anything were Messi and Coutinho. They are great husbands and they respect their wives very much. Shakira didn’t deserve this."
"I was friends with the former President of Barcelona, Sandro Rosell. When Pique found out, he asked for my number, at the time, and sent me a message," Suzy added. Her statements raised criticisms of Pique's character and have the potential to wreak further havoc on his relationship with Shakira, which is already broken.
