OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez threatens legal action after Lamine Yamal vacation backlash: ‘The insults are too much'
OnlyFans model and fitness influencer Fati Vazquez has broken her silence after a wave of online hate followed her recent trip with Barcelona's teenage football sensation, Lamine Yamal. The 29-year-old has confirmed she's considering legal action due to what she describes as 'serious threats, insults, and false accusations' after being spotted vacationing with the 17-year-old Spain international. 'I haven't done anything, haven't killed anyone' Vazquez, who is also a YouTuber, addressed the controversy during an appearance on RTVE Play's La Familia De La Tele , making it clear that she's not taking the public backlash lightly. Responding to comments about her age and supposed intentions, she clarified, 'First, I'm 29; I haven't made it to the 30s yet. I haven't done anything, haven't killed anyone. The reactions are just too heavy, and it's even affecting him [Yamal]. I just spent a few days with him, which is obviously what you see on the cover, and that's it.' She stopped short of sharing more details, citing the overwhelming harassment she has received. 'I wouldn't like to say more because the insults are too much,' she added. No romantic connection, says Vazquez Despite the internet frenzy, Vazquez has strongly denied any romantic relationship with the footballer. According to reports, Yamal had reached out to her via social media and later invited her to join him on holiday in Italy.
