The star footballer has repeatedly denied the allegations of rape via a live Instagram video while speaking to his fans and even tweeted of his innocence.

The Italian club posted a couple of tweets which supported CR7. Cristiano Ronaldo Rape Allegation: Sponsors Nike, EA Sports Express Concern, Juventus Backs Portugal Forward.

However, little did they know that the netizens would troll brutally for supporting the footballer. ‘.@Cristiano Ronaldo has shown in recent months his great professionalism and dedication, which is appreciated by everyone at Juventus. 1/1,” read the first tweet. Cristiano Ronaldo DROPPED From Portugal Squad Following Rape Allegations by Kathryn Mayorga!

“The events allegedly dating back to almost 10 years ago do not change this opinion, which is shared by anyone who has come into contact with this great champion. 2/2,: read the second tweet.

Then started the bashing from the netizens. Check out a few tweets:

“This is very bad and you should delete it, apologize, apologize another time & try again,” tweeted a netizen.

“They can, that's not the problem. The problem is how they are saying it. It looks like they are saying that just because it's 10 years ago, it hasn't happened/isn't important. I know he's still not guilty, but the proces has started,” read another tweet.

“This is such a disgraceful tweet- the implicit suggestion that both his attitude to football and his playing ability are relevant to (or even should excuse him from) being an alleged rapist is horrific,” posted another netizen.

Ronaldo in a tweet wrote, “I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in. Keen as I may be to clear my name, I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense.”
