After a week of silence, Ronaldo has returned to speak to the Press to explain the recent controversy in Brazil.
Speaking to the cameras of the Brazilian TV Rede Globo the Milan striker confessed his regret regarding the events that have involved him recently.
Reportedly, he had been blackmailed by three transvestites, who he had picked up outside a disco in Rio de Janeiro.
“I did something really stupid. Everybody can make errors and I made one,” he admitted.
“I didn't even realise they were transvestites. As a player I am generally on a different level, but I am a person who has his weakness and fears which makes me as normal as anyone else.”
Ronaldo also went on to reveal details regarding that crazy night in Rio.
“I had an argument with my girlfriend and then I went to three prostitutes to heal my sorrows. I wasn't drunk and when we got to the hotel I realised they were men so I decided to kick them out.
“But at that stage they started asking for money. I offered them a liquidation and two accepted while the other asked for an incredible amount saying that he/she would reveal everything to the Press.”
Now the 31-year-old is looking to recover from his injury and hoping to forget about that night as soon as possible.
“I have to rebuild everything around me, it is like when a house gets blown away from a tornado. Now I have to start everything all over again.”
Despite the scandal, Ronaldo has kept his position as a Unicef peace ambassador although there are fears over the Brazilian's sponsorship deals with TIM and Nike.
