‘I have never felt such malice’: Julio Iglesias denies sexual harassment allegations

Julio Iglesias has rejected “with deep regret” the sexual harassment allegations against him, Euronews writes.

“I deny having abused, coerced, or disrespected any woman,” Iglesias wrote in a message posted on his Instagram profile. “These accusations are absolutely false and cause me great sadness.”

Iglesias adds that “he had never felt such malice”, but says that he still has “strength” to make “the whole truth” known and to defend his dignity “in the face of such a serious affront”.

“I cannot forget so many dearly loved people who have sent me messages of affection and loyalty; I have found much comfort in them,” Iglesias concludes in his Instagram message.

Earlier this week, two women who say they worked for Iglesias in 2021 claimed that the popular artist sexually assaulted them while they were working at his residences in the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, following an investigation by ‘elDiario.es’, in collaboration with ‘Univisión Noticias’.

Following a three-year joint investigation by the news website elDiario.es and the Spanish-language TV channel Univision Noticias, information emerged a few days ago that two employees who had worked at Iglesias’ Caribbean villas were allegedly subjected to sexual harassment by the singer.
