Freshly arrived in Paris after confirming his signing with PSG, Ronaldinho accepted an invitation to a French entertainment show. He had no idea what was waiting for him. 😤
Comedian Laurent Biof and host Thierry Ardisson subjected him to a live humiliation: first they mocked his teeth, then they asked him on camera if he was bisexual.
When Ronaldinho answered no with his usual smile, Biof fired back: “Then take off that sweater.” What the comedian did not know — and what makes this scene so painful — is that that sweater was the last gift his great-grandmother had made for him with her own hands before she died. Ronaldinho wore it to feel close to her. 🫂
The images of the moment went around the world because they showed something very few had seen before: the happiest player on the planet visibly affected, confused, his smile gone. All because of someone who preferred an easy joke instead of respecting a human being. 🇧🇷
