<description>Poor Ronaldo... Having dropped off his girlfriend at her house in Rio de Janeiro on Monday night, the 2002 World Cup winner picked up three prostitutes. When they all booked into a motel, the AC Milan striker discovered that the prostitutes were in fact men. According to Rio police, he alleges that the transvestites then tried to extort money from him. Local press reports quoted one of the prostitutes, Andreia Albertine - otherwise known as Andre Luiz Ribeiro Albertino - as saying that Ronaldo had threatened to hit him, on discovering that he was a transvestite. This is Andreia Albertine...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>huh?  the comments in this thread are weird.  </p>

<p>ronaldo might be an asshole if he and gf don't have an understanding that we are unaware of.  cheaters are assholes.</p>

<p>but the transvestite is an asshole first for the bait and switch, second for attempting to blackmail ronaldo, and third for giving the press a statement before* giving the police her full statement. </p>

<p>this isn't a case of he didn't want to pay for services.  i'm having a hard time feeling sorry for the cody sex workers of the world who are more than willing to take advantage of people.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@5</p>

<p>allow me to clarify. ronaldo is 99.9% an asshole. even if he and his girlfriend do have an open relationship, which is doubtful, having intercourse with multiple prostitutes simultaneously is a dangerous and potentially harmful act. any self respecting woman would object.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by DJSauvage</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>From the stories I read yesterday, it's highly possible that the hooker is lying about the threatened violence. He paid the other 2 $600 to leave after finding out they were men, but the third one asked for $30,000 to keep quiet.  Ronaldo went directly to the police to report the blackmail. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>thanks for clarifying, tiffany.  i think in most cases i would agree entirely.  cheating is lame, end of story.  cheating with multiple prostitutes and potentially giving your partner an std?  super lame.  </p>

<p>but...  but...  this guy was just in an equally as lame situation.  he was just deceived by a transvestite who then tried to blackmail him, followed by a very public embarrassment.  it's not like the tranny had the GF's interest at heart.  in fact, just the opposite.  the tranny wanted rolando to pay and go back to her.</p>

<p>so, in my mind, it's seems a little strange to hear this story and then someone point out that just ronaldo is an asshole.  my first reaction was, what a bunch of assholes.  and to be honest, i thought the lying, blackmailing, presshappy hooker was the lower of the two.  but maybe that says something about me.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>When I first saw this story last night, half-asleep and airplane-grumpy as I was, I thought it was about Christiano Ronaldo. And then I was disappointed. This Ronaldo is enough of a tradgedy at the moment without transvestite hookers and blackmail involved.</p>

<p>Christiano Ronaldo would have been a much better story.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>tiffany @16 (not @17).  i didn't say rolando deserves any sympathy, nor imply it.  or, as a caustic poster might put it, <i>did you even read my what i wrote?</i>  </p>

<p>i said, "so, in my mind, it's seems a little strange to hear this story and then someone point out that just ronaldo is an asshole."    which is very different.  i simply maintain that the blackmailers were the worse party between two evils, and it struck me as odd to just have the lesser of the two evils reproached.  but perhaps you see rolando as the far worse character in this story.  since that is very different from my reaction, i found it strange.  the reason behind it might be interesting...  maybe?</p>

<p>the only person i have any significant amount of sympathy for is the gf -- whether an open relationship or not.  and, as fnarf points out, she is hot.  we'll see if she meets your definition of self-respecting soon enough...</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>the prostitute in question seemed to commit a crime of opportunity when he blackmailed ronaldo. i guess i don't hold them to as high a standard because their business ethics are obviously questionable since the act itself is illegal. </p>

<p>i find ronaldo's the worse of two parties, simply because he was fucking his girlfriend over hardcore. and what i meant in my prior post is that there are risks involved with this kind of activity, so there should be no surprise in the fact that they took advantage of the situation.</p>

<p>p.s.<br />
ronaldo is worth a considerable amount of power/money so i wouldn't be shocked to find that his girlfriend looks the other way. </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@26...</p>

<p>(AGI) - Rio de Janeiro, apr. 30 - His girlfriend dumped him and his sponsor might soon follow suit. Ronaldo is paying a heavy price for his xxx adventure in Rio with 3 transvestites, one of whom tried to blackmail him. According to Brazilian paper "Extra", Maria Beatriz Antony, who lived with Ronaldo up to a few days ago, returned to her parents in Brasilia. Friends told the paper that she repeatedly complained about Ronaldo's type of nightlife in Brazil since the player's return because of an injured knee. So his latest escapade may only be the final straw that tipped the balance against him. "Extra" claims that Nike is considering unilateral termination of his contract and a request for damages as provided in a clause. "We are still collecting information, there is nothing official yet" is what spokesperson David Grinberg said on behalf of Nike's brazil office.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>This is a common practice in Brazil, which is home to many transvestite prostitutes, called travesti (who, though they sometimes alter their bodies physically, generally identify as male). Their clients generally pay to give them oral sex or to receive anal sex; Ronaldo would have to be unspeakably naïve not to have known that the prostitutes were biologically male. If the travesti object to something about the transaction, they will "dar un escándalo" ("do/give a scandal") by publicly revealing their genitals, shaming their clients. This is a way of protecting themselves and ensuring that they make enough money to support themselves.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@30, No, you're stupid for not being able to read. Before subjecting us to your inane, vapid comments, why not try looking at the linked article that your commenting on (that Charles was so kind to provide in his post).</p>

<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7374317.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7374317.stm</a></p>

<p>As others have noted above (@24), you don't bother reading what others have wrote. You obviously don't bother reading the post itself. And you clearly don't think about what you write.</p>

<p>So yes, you are stupid. Of course, that's only my opinion - although it seems to be shared by more than a few on this thread.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>Tiffany ... YOU don't have to date Ronaldo.  But for every rightfully self-rightious loyalist woman, there are three women that have sold their soul to be with a celebrity, athlete, etc. etc.</p>

<p>And well, infidelity of men can be a little different outside of the U.S. (rumor is that Italians are notorious).  My mothers friend was taken aback when she was asked by her aruban husband if he could have a mistress.  He had no clue, his father had one.</p>

<p>You know, Ronaldo and his gf might have an arrangement on this one ... you may not like it, but it's also not your life or your choice.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has spent WAY too much time partying with the football team is aware what these guys get away with ... holy crap.  It's not so much that they are ill hearted people, it's simple economics of supply and demand.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Will in Seattle</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I agree that he's a jerk.</p>

<p>But, for all we know, other than exposing his gf to a real risk of HIV/AIDS and other STDs, he might be a nice person at other times.</p>

<p>But still a jerk.</p>]]></description>
