June 11, 2026 was the day Montserrat Gómez had waited for for years. The Mexican sports journalist was outside Estadio Azteca, broadcasting live Mexico’s debut at the 2026 World Cup — a 2-0 win over South Africa that had the whole country euphoric. 🎙️⚽
In the middle of that report, a man wearing a black national team jersey approached from behind and grabbed her by the waist without her consent. For him it was a “funny” moment. For Montserrat it was a sign of disrespect at the worst possible moment: on camera, doing her job, on the most important day of her career. She pushed him away and kept going. 😤
Hours later she posted the video and photos on Instagram, with the harasser’s face visible and a direct message: if anyone knows him, they should know he is a harasser. “It is not possible that in 2026 this is still happening”, she wrote, and the report went viral within hours.
