Julio Iglesias: Outcry Over Old Video – Forced Kiss on Presenter

An old video from a 2004 interview of Julio Iglesias on an Argentinian television channel has caused an outcry, as it shows the singer kissing the presenter on the mouth, despite her obvious embarrassment and reluctance. The video resurfaced online after allegations of sexual harassment were filed against him by two former employees. In the video, Iglesias embraces the presenter and attempts to kiss her, immobilizing her with his hands. The presenter reacts with embarrassment and tries to avoid the singer, but he manages to kiss her. The sexual harassment allegations concern incidents allegedly occurring in 2021, when Iglesias was 77 years old. The two women, a housekeeper and a physiotherapist, claim to have been sexually assaulted at the singer's residences in the Caribbean. One of the women accuses Iglesias of calling her to his room and forcing her to perform sexual acts without her consent, while the other claims he kissed her on the mouth and touched her breast against her will. The incident has sparked strong reactions and raised new questions about the singer's behavior.
