Football Icon Ronaldinho Dragged Into Viral Shower Video Scandal.
A 72-year-old Argentine glamour model has spoken out to clear the air regarding speculation that football icon Ronaldinho recorded a revealing video of her while she was in the shower.
Graciela Alfano, an actress and former television star who rose to fame as a sex symbol in Argentina during the late 1970s and early 1980s, caused a stir in January when she shared a photo of herself with Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho, 44. The two had randomly crossed paths in a hotel lobby, and she documented the moment on Instagram with the caption: “With the idol.”
Shortly after, Alfano made waves once again by posting a daring video of herself showering. The footage, which left little to the imagination, showed her silhouette behind a sheer shower curtain.
Given the timing of both posts, rumors quickly started circulating, with some fans speculating that Ronaldinho was behind the camera and that the two were romantically linked.
However, Alfano has now put an end to the rumors during a televised interview with Mirtha Legrand on Sunday, March 2.
When presented with a still from the video during the show, Alfano confidently responded, “I love it. I feel very good about my body.”
Legrand then asked, “Who took the photo of you? Can we find out?”
Laughing, the 72-year-old set the record straight: “That’s the question! My followers started asking because I had just met Ronaldinho. People love to make up stories.
“I only took a simple photo with Ronaldinho in an elevator, and suddenly, everyone thought he was the one who filmed me in the shower!”
She went on to explain, “In reality, it was a girl who worked at the hotel. I told her, ‘You have to stay completely still. Don’t move because my arm is covering exactly what it needs to cover.'”
Alfano praised the photographer, adding, “She got an amazing shot. It went viral, and honestly, I loved it.”
