Breaking News: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Absence from Diogo Jota’s Funeral Sparks Controversy
Gondomar, Portugal – The farewell ceremony for Diogo Jota and Bernardo Silva has sparked a wave of questions on social media and in Lusophone media. The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most prominent figures in world football, has drawn significant attention. However, there are two compelling reasons behind his absence.
Reasons for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Absence
According to the newspaper Record from Lisbon, Ronaldo’s decision not to attend the wake stems from a personal trauma he has carried since the death of his father, José Dinis Aveiro, in 2005. Since then, the Portuguese star has avoided participating in funerals.
Additionally, Ronaldo’s desire not to divert attention from the commemorative act towards his public figure played a significant role. He understood that the media would focus on his presence, potentially disrupting the intimate moment for Diogo Jota’s family.
CR7’s Family Faces Criticism
In the face of criticism, Ronaldo’s sister, Katia Aveiro, took to social media with a blunt message. She wrote, “We all have family. It is absurdly shameful to see how television channels, commentators, and social networks emphasize an absence instead of honoring with respect the pain of a mutilated family, destroyed by the loss of two brothers. I am even ashamed to see it. It is unfortunate.”
Katia also evoked the pain her family lived almost two decades ago: “When my father died, in addition to the pain of the loss, we had to deal with an avalanche of cameras and curious people in the cemetery and wherever we were going.”
Ronaldo’s Emotional Message
Despite not being present physically, Ronaldo expressed his regret through a message on his social media shortly after the news broke. He wrote, “It makes no sense. Just now that we were together in the national team, just now that you were married. To his family, his wife, and children, I send my condolences and wish you all the strength of the world. I know you will always be with them. Qepd Diogo and André. We will all miss you.”
Understanding the Context
Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence from the funeral has brought to light the delicate balance between public figures and their personal lives. The media’s focus on his absence has sparked a broader conversation about respecting the privacy and grief of families during such difficult times. Ronaldo’s decision highlights the importance of personal boundaries and the emotional toll that constant public scrutiny can have on individuals and their families.
