A 30-year-old flight attendant and social media influencer, Fati Vazquez, is facing online backlash and death threats after her pictures with 17-year-old Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal surfaced on social media.
According to media reports, the two were reportedly seen spending a vacation together, which sparked widespread controversy concerning the significant age difference. The images and videos showing the young FC Barcelona striker with Vazquez quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from the public.
Fati Vazquez has not only been bombarded with hateful comments but is also receiving serious threats to her life. Many online users are accusing her of having an "inappropriate relationship" with a minor.
So far, Lamine Yamal has not issued any statement regarding the matter.
In parts of Europe and other regions around the world, relationships involving individuals under 18 are considered both morally and legally sensitive, even if consensual. These legal and ethical concerns have fueled the outrage surrounding the incident.
On social media, the influencer continues to face a wave of harsh criticism and abusive comments as the story draws international attention.
