I'd be going through a dark time if I was out here fully capable of paying my taxes and just didn't.

I love how she’s so rich going to jail for tax evasion was never like a concern for her like it would for sure be the darkest period of my life lmao

Idgaf I’d feel bad for her if she paid her taxes but I guess

Sobre Hacienda
“Para mí ir a juicio es una cuestión de principios”

“Incluso sin pruebas que respalden estas afirmaciones ficticias, han recurrido a una campaña de prensa lasciva para tratar de influir en la gente y ejercer presión en los medios junto con la amenaza de daños a la reputación para forzar acuerdos de conciliación. Es bien sabido que las autoridades fiscales españolas hacen esto a menudo no solo con personas conocidas como yo (o Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Xabi Alonso y muchos más), sino que también sucede injustamente con otros contribuyentes anónimos. Pero confío en que tengo suficientes pruebas para respaldar mi caso y que la justicia prevalecerá a mi favor.

I wrote about this below but it’s not really an honest comparison. The footballers she named actually paid most of their taxes but didn’t pay the taxes on their image rights which was a loophole that Spain closed and then retroactively prosecuted; she pretended she lived in the Bahamas to not pay taxes at all which was never legal. That’s why she’s in more legal trouble than the footballers ever were.

I agree, it's just deflection lol.

For those who care!

Este no es el único desafío al que te enfrentas. El gobierno español te ha acusado de fraude fiscal. Te enfrentas a hasta ocho años de prisión. La causa sostiene que eras residente fiscal en España desde 2011 hasta 2014, lo que significa que pasaste más de 183 días en el país. Pero has decidido luchar contra estas acusaciones en lugar de pactar con la fiscalía. ¿Por qué?[ Suspiros ] Porque tengo que luchar por lo que creo; porque estas son acusaciones falsas. En primer lugar, no pasé 183 días al año en absoluto. Estaba ocupada cumpliendo con mis compromisos profesionales en todo el mundo. En segundo lugar, pagué todo lo que decían que debía, incluso antes de que presentaran una demanda. Así que en realidad no les debo nada. Y, de hecho, me han asesorado desde

Rise, Dark Shakira!

Mte. Like sucks for her but I can't wait to bop to "Mi Encarcelamiento (It's Time For Probation) (feat. Wyclef Jean)" in 2027 after her release.

😭😭😭

Gerard wanted to play football and win titles, and I had to support him. I mean, one of the two had to make a sacrifice, right?

Yep, and it's always the woman.

Stop putting your own goals on hold to support men's dreams, sisters.

Just. Stop.

The main reason I'm not having kids. Ultimately most of the work/emotional labour/literally everything would fall on me, even if I had an "equal" spouse and that would mean affecting my professional and personal goals.

nah, I'm good.

[vespertinev]

God, how I hate that! The way most women still think women have to be nurtures and whatever nonsense she believes and talks about here, it's so sad.

[beaucadeau]

💯💯💯

that it’s still an expectation…women have come so far but there’s still so much left to do
