Ines Sainz Gallo reveals she kicked Brazil star during hotel interview trap

Shocking Revelation from Ines Sainz Gallo

Ines Sainz Gallo hit out when a footballer tried to kiss her during an interview

The Mexican model and sports journalist was in Milan to speak with the Brazilian

Renowned Mexican sports journalist and former model Ines Sainz Gallo has revealed a stunning incident involving an unnamed Brazilian football star. Speaking on a recent podcast, the 47-year-old mother-of-four detailed how she was forced to defend herself during what she described as a "trap" during an interview in Milan. The incident occurred shortly after a high-profile Brazilian player had signed for AC Milan and was staying at a hotel near the central station while house-hunting.

An Interview Turned Into a Trap

Sainz explained that the interview had been officially coordinated through the club. However, the situation turned dark when the player's agent ushered her camera operator out of the hotel suite on a pretext and closed the door. Left alone with the athlete, Sainz noticed his behavior became increasingly inappropriate as he attempted to hug and kiss her. Drawing on her martial arts training, the journalist—who has interviewed icons like Cristiano Ronaldo—delivered a "karate kick" to the player's groin to stop the unwanted advance before making her escape.

Maintaining Professionalism Amidst Controversy

Despite the harrowing nature of the encounter, Sainz has chosen not to publicly name the player involved, though she confirmed he was a "top Brazilian star" newly arrived at AC Milan at the time. The veteran reporter, who famously turned down a Playboy offer in 2010 to focus on her journalistic integrity, used the story to highlight the challenges women face in sports media. Her revelation has sparked a significant "guessing game" among football fans regarding the identity of the player while drawing praise for her quick-thinking and bravery.
