Shakira and Piqué, Piqué and Shakira: The current couple regrets. What started out as “wakarumor” one day became a wakakrisis. This week, our colleague Emilio Pérez de Rozas from El Periódico de Catalunya made the rabbit leap, sowing doubts about the marital happiness of one of the world’s most popular and mediated couples. The sports reporter wrote in one of his articles that “everything seems to point to that. The emotional relationship between Shakira and Piqué is going through one of its worst moments. since he met her” and revealed that the footballer spent “nights and days” in his only apartment on Muntaner street in Barcelona.
And while the rest of the people were surviving news of the brave Pérez de Rozas, my partner Laura Fa and I did our homework to verify the information that arrived on the cell phone over the weekend. We were able to confirm this information on Wednesday and detonated the bomb: Shakira and Piqué are experiencing a strong crisis as a third of the conflict is revealed. The message was: “Shakira caught him with someone else. It happened, it happened, so there is distance. Still nothing happens, but it did”. It’s as short as devastating. And our journey began to find out the identity of Piqué’s friend. After just a few hours we have already determined the age and hair color. The most wanted woman was 22 years old and blonde. Her occupation is waitress and event hostess. Several sources were pointing us in the same direction. When looking at one of her photos on her Instagram profile today, I can describe her first name, last name, where she works, and even physically. One small step for humanity and a huge leap for these simple ‘Mamarazzi’.
too much buzz
You cannot imagine the number of messages and calls we receive these days. Countless journalist friends from this and other continents, some of whom are well-known and prominent figures, informed us about the women who were alleged to be seen together at the famous venues of Gerard Piqué’s Barcelona night. Suddenly, everyone knew the “friend of a friend of a friend” who knew the footballer very well or met Piqué with busy reservations at a restaurant or nightclub. Others dismissed the information as known and hacked, depreciating it, claiming that “it’s no longer news”. But the truth is that despite the constant circulation of gossip and information, especially in recent months, no one has dared to publish anything about it until now. Notice that I distinguish two concepts: Knowledge vs. rumors.
Another very interesting surprise brought to us by this news is, Mediaset went completely unnoticed. Come on, absolute silence about this in all the programs of the group. Considering that they are a couple who have been the target of all kinds of press since the beginning of their relationship, I find this completely incomprehensible and surprising, with the hours Telecinco devotes to pink news and celebrity information. It didn’t even take your attention for a few minutes to analyze and comment.
Here is a locked cat. While media around the world are repeating the news and opening new melons (like the viral rumor of Piqué’s alleged relationship with a teammate’s mother), the Spanish media, especially the written ones, devote pages to the topic for Mediaset. no news. What does this silence answer? Forced or chosen silence? We are the ‘Mamarazzi’ who will not be silent; Next Wednesday, we have more data in our weekly podcast.
