“I’ve Always Been Closer to Shakira” – Dragged to Court by Gerard Pique and Girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, Popular Journalist Says Barca Legend ‘Can’t Stand’ Him

The limelight has always been over Shakira and Gerard Pique since their breakup. But the Waka–Waka singer took an unexpected turn after she decided to drop a few diss tracks. Since then, Pique’s life has become a living hell. The FC Barcelona legend has always been subject to endless criticism from the media. Months after the controversy, he is seemingly getting a little breather from the constant speculations.

But the soccer veteran was seemingly tired of the constant paparazzi interference. After one of them seemingly crossed a line, the new celebrity couple took the matter to court. While a decision still needs to be taken, the accused journalist sheds some light on why Pique mainly dislikes him.

Pique dislikes this journalist because of Shakira!

The ever-famous journalist in the limelight is none other than Jordi Martin. In May, Pique and Clara Chia Marti filed a police complaint against him requesting a restraining order. Over multiple breaches of privacy, the retired defender was seemingly ‘done’ with him. But Jordi Martin has tried his best to hit back. Just days ago, he spoke to the media, outlining the reason why Pique dislikes him.

Martin said, “He can’t stand me because I’ve always been closer to Shakira. I have always positioned myself with Shakira in the programs for Latin America in which I collaborate”. Interestingly, while making his point, Martin non-hesitantly admitted that he was part of ‘Team Shakira’. While everyone appreciated his honesty, here is what he said further.

He continued, “I think the inquisitiveness comes from there. But I want to make something very clear: I am just doing my job and in this case, it is photographing on public roads a very famous character who generates millions of headlines in the media, a character that arouses a lot of media interest,” as compiled by La Vanguardia and translated by Google Translate.

The incident between the new celebrity couple happened back in March. But why did the matter end up escalating to court? Let’s dive deeper into the same.

What exactly happened between Jordi Martin and Pique?

Just like a normal day, Martin was following Pique and Clara Chia Marti around town. The infamous couple stopped below Pique’s parent’s residence. While they got out of their vehicle, the journalist tried to catch their attention. But the FC Barcelona legend simply smiled and walked away. But Martin decided to wait there.

After a while, the two of them entered their car again. At that point, Pique suddenly noticed that Martin was still aimlessly loitering around. Angered by the same, Pique hit the pedal and accelerated straight toward the journalist. Hours later, he claimed that Pique almost killed him by running him over in public.
