What did Christian Cueva say about the attacks against Pamela López?
In his first public statement following allegations of violence brought by his wife Pamela Lopez footballer Christian Cueva acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable. However, he also stated that there are details of the situation that have not been accurately reported and, although he assumes responsibility for his actions, he will seek to clarify the facts before the competent authorities.
“Violence is inexcusable and my behavior, although it was not spontaneous, but in response, is also inexcusable. I have been accused of many bad things, defects that I surely have and now I am accused of being an abuser and I do not believe I am. I know that I have a complex personality that goes beyond what can be seen of me and I am and will be responsible for my actions, which does not mean that I stop defending myself and seeking to clarify, before the authorities, those events that have not been reported in the way they occurred or that simply did not occur. For all of this, for what happened, what happened differently and even for what did not happen, I ask for forgiveness,” said Christian Cueva.
