World Cup kisser attacked by own uncle in bizarre scene

  • On Thursday at a Madrid book-launch event, eggs were thrown at Luis Rubiales, disgraced former president of the Spanish Football Federation, while he was on stage.
  • The backlash stems from Rubiales kissing Spain international Jenni Hermoso during the 2023 World Cup final without her consent, leading to his resignation in September 2023.
  • Witnesses reported that three eggs were thrown at Rubiales on stage, and he ran toward the assailant before crowd members held him back, fearing he might have a weapon.
  • The incident took a familial turn when Marca reported the assailant is Luis Rubiales, his father’s younger brother, whom Rubiales called `always been a trouble maker`.
  • Earlier this year, Luis Rubiales was fined €10,800 and given a restraining order, while FIFA imposed a three-year ban from all football activities.
