18 are the months that Georgina Rodríguez has been involved in a legal battle against Mediaset for what she considers her "right to be forgotten." The influencer has eliminated almost all traces of her life before meeting Cristiano Ronaldo, but the appearance of testimonies on programs such as Sálvame and Socialité from her relatives, giving details of what she was like during her not-so-luxurious past as an anonymous young woman, made her think Let your lawyers get to work.
A task that has been in vain, because as reported by El Confidencial, the Argentine has lost the trial against the Fuencarral group, from whom she asked for a 400,000 euro fine for the dissemination of the testimonies of several members of her maternal family. What's more, because of this process, more details of this past that Georgina Rodríguez has always insisted on hiding have become known.
We know about Georgina Rodríguez what she has wanted to reveal both through her social networks and in the two seasons of her popular docuseries, Soy Georgina. However, during the judicial process, the statement of her sister Ivana has brought to light new episodes that until now were unknown to the general public.
El Confidencial has had access to the sentence, which summarizes some of the most complicated moments in the lives of Georgina and Ivana Rodríguez. Among other things, the true relationship of the two sisters with their father, one of the great unknowns in the influencer's history. It is known that Georgina took care of her father, who had a life full of ups and downs and which led him to go to prison.
A father who also suffered a serious illness, of which Georgina was very aware until the moment of his death, while Ivana remained in Argentina dedicated to his care. A reality that has nothing to do with the testimony collected by Mediaset programs.
"During her father's hospitalization until his death, Georgina traveled to Argentina on several occasions, stressing that neither her grandmother nor her maternal uncle spoke with the plaintiff because they did not have her mobile phone, they only had the declarant's phone as a result of the illness of his father. He is not ashamed of that part of the family, they simply had no relationship," the sentence states.
According to Ivana's testimony, the claims and testimony of Patricia, the sister they both have on their mother's side, in the media do not correspond to reality. Patricia would have asked Georgina, who would have offered to pay for her son's food and even school expenses. According to Ivana, her sister declined the offer because "she was only interested in cash." As a result of this entire process, Georgina "was affected personally and professionally," according to her personal advisor.
However, despite everything, the courts have ruled in favor of Mediaset, as they consider that freedom of expression prevails even though the statements offered by Ivana Rodríguez would demonstrate that many of these testimonies did not tell the truth.
"The public interest of Cristiano Ronaldo's partner is indisputable and that the right to information takes precedence over his right to honor," the ruling states. Georgina "always was frontally opposed" to refuting said testimonies "by her own decision", which is why, according to the judge, "Georgina's purpose was never to claim the anonymity of her private life."
Thus, the influencer will have to pay the costs of the process.
