VIDEO: Spanish Soccer Star Jenni Hermoso Describes World Cup Kiss From Luis Rubiales In Court, ‘This Should Never Happen’

Soccer player Jenni Hermoso told the trial of former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales on Monday that the kiss he gave her after the World Cup final “disrespected” her and “stained” one of the happiest days of her life. On Monday, Rubiales, the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, was set to stand trial in Madrid, facing charges of sexual assault and coercion over the controversial kiss. The incident, which took place after Spain won the final, sparked protests and demands for Rubiales’ resignation. He denies any wrongdoing. When asked how she felt after the kiss, Hermoso said: “My boss was kissing me, and this should never happen in any social or professional setting.” (Credit: Audiencia Nacional via Storyful)
