PSG Star Achraf Hakimi's High-Profile Divorce Sparks Social Media Backlash

The divorce between PSG star Achraf Hakimi and his ex-wife, actress Hiba Abouk has gone viral on social media. Insults have not been lacking.

In the wake of the rape allegations against Achraf Hakimi, the divorce from Hiba Abouk has occurred. But the half of the fortune accumulated by the couple during their life together claimed by his ex-wife, i.e. 10 million euros, raises lively controversies on social networks. Some do not hesitate to criticize or even insult the Spanish actress. "Asking for 10 million euros is to consider marriage as a business. It’s not fair. She behaves like the daughter of a Bedouin with herds, and not like the successful actress she was. Has Hiba left her job because of the demands of her husband, or because she no longer had interesting offers and therefore preferred to stay at home? She must get back to work," said the famous Spanish TV presenter, Alessandro Lecquio.

The journalist’s remarks shocked the web. He was criticized for the sexist, even racist, nature of his comment. Internet users took the opportunity to attack Achraf Hakimi. "Women always stop working to raise children, while the husband continues. That’s my humble opinion," "This message is completely macho [...] What situation did she have to accept because of her husband’s infidelities, but also in the face of the children... You don’t say anything about that???" "This gentleman not only cheated on her, but also committed a deplorable crime that deeply wounded her and her children. So I think it’s great that she asked for 10 million euros, it will be the reward for all the moral damage he has caused to her children. He is the one at fault, we must not forget that."
