Georgina Rodriguez is powering through her ongoing court case. The partner of Cristiano Ronaldo has been embroiled in a legal battle following claims of her being a ‘gold digger’. As the court proceedings got underway, the model made a surprising decision to forego the legal trial and, instead, chose to remain in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, plenty is going on in the life of Rodriguez on the professional front. She recently gave a major boost to her $10 million net worth by adding a six-figure sum.

Georgina Rodriguez snubs legal trial over Saudi stay

Earlier, Georgina Rodriguez initiated legal proceedings against two Spanish television channels for defaming her reputation. The trial commenced on Tuesday, October 3rd, and the model was expected to attend a court hearing. However, in a surprising twist of events, Ronaldo’s girlfriend did not appear.

Instead, the 29-year-old influencer was in Saudi Arabia with her children. Apparently, instead of appearing in person, she was represented by her sister, Ivana, and her boyfriend, Carlos García, at the Pozuelo Alarcón court in Madrid. According to Nova Gente, Ivana, upon departing the courtroom, expressed that the session had proceeded favorably, stating, “Let justice be done.”

Mario Bonacho, a renowned lawyer who has previously represented other prominent individuals, expressed confidence in the case’s outcome. He contended that Georgina seeks “to safeguard her right to privacy and protect her image.” Regarding the proceedings, he remarked, “The trial progressed smoothly,” and added, “Now, it’s up to the judge to determine the appropriateness of this protection.”
