Former Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas said Sunday his Twitter account was hacked after a post saying he was gay created a stir on the social media platform.
“Hacked account,” Casillas said. “Luckily everything is in order. Apologies to all my followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community.”
The follow-up came not long after a brief message that was posted on his account went viral and prompted widespread speculation.
Iker Casilllas had social media in an uproar after posting a surprising message on his official Twitter profile.
“I hope you respect me: I’m gay. Happy Sunday,” he wrote.
The tweet was published at 14:10 CEST and since then comments have not stopped.
The big question is what is the meaning of the message: a joke, campaign or truth? Some users are even talking about a possible hacking of the former Real Madrid goalkeeper’s account.
There is also speculation that it could be a joke, related to the fact that he is tired of having partners attributed to him.
Casillas’ presence in the tabloids has multiplied after his separation from Sara Carbonero.
The idea that it is a joke is reinforced by the fact that Carles Puyol has responded to Casillas’ controversial tweet.
“It’s time to tell our story, Iker,” wrote the former Barcelona captain and ex-teammate of Iker in the national team.
