An Iranian newspaper has retouched Georgina Rodriguez’s backside in a photograph.
Cristiano Ronaldo posted an image on his social media with his family celebrating his 39th birthday. It featured his wife, wearing a long black dress, smiling at the camera.

However, the Hamshahri media of the Tehran City Council decided that what their readers could see wasn’t appropriate and decided to manipulate the image.
The Hamshahri newspaper has cropped the backside of the Portuguese star’s partner. The photograph published by the newspaper is identical to the one in Cristiano Ronaldo’s networks, with the only exception of Georgina Rodriguez’s modified body. This episode hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Georgina Rodriguez’s discomfort
As explained by the British newspaper The Sun, Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner is not at all happy with this situation.
“She works hard for her body and is very proud of her curves,” the outlet wrote. “It just shows the view of women in some parts of the world is twisted. It’s only a bottom.”
The reactions have also reached the political sphere. The Belgian MP, of Iranian origin, Darya Safai, has hit out at the alteration of the image: “This is an example of how sick Islamists are about the female body. This is exactly how sick Islamists look at women. That’s why they prefer to make them invisible under a veil.”
Georgina Rodriguez has not spoken out directly on the issue, although her social media activity continues as usual. The influencer, businesswoman and Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner has more than 57 million followers on Instagram.
