After becoming more irritated with derogatory rumors regarding his fiancée Kelly Piquet, Max Verstappen has made the uncommon decision to confront his personal life.
On Wednesday, Piquet, a model from Brazil, made a heartfelt appeal on social media to refute the damaging rumors that have been going about lately.
obscene allegations regarding her past interactions with Penelope, her four-year-old daughter, and former Formula 1 racer Daniil Kvyat.
Phrases and offensive remarks ascribed to Piquet have been further fueled by conjecture from fan communities on Tik Tok. She insists that she never stated the offensive things that others are accusing her of saying.
The 35-year-old is at a loss for how to handle the online harassment and public trolling at this stage.
Piquet claims the remarks ascribed to her are “defamation” in a lengthy statement that was posted on her Instagram site.
“A message from me and a kind reminder to everyone…The internet can be an amazing platform for many reasons, but it can also be extremely dangerous when false information and lies are spread,” she wrote.
“I’m not sure how to deal with hate that is based on inaccurate information. I’ve thought about writing a reply and leaving it at that.
“For more than three years, I’ve had to deal with an unusual and distressing barrage of allegations, gossip, made-up scenarios, phony testimonies, manipulated screenshots, you name it. while continuing to remain mute and avoid responding to these absurd accusations.
“In particular, accusations leveled in recent months have become more defamatory. People who are familiar with me understand that I would never behave, say, or place myself in such a situation.
“Though I am far from flawless, I do take pride in my ideals, values, and demeanor. To be clear about it.
“As a human being, the hateful remarks and remarks have a profound impact on myself and those around me. I hope this acts as a warning to individuals to always double-check internet material before expressing fear.
I sincerely hope that everyone who has contributed to this will pause to consider the actual repercussions of spreading misinformation and exhibiting hatred.
“Keep in mind that every action we perform is a vote for the person we wish to be,” as James Clear puts it. Let’s choose to be better people to one other and to ourselves.
In response, Verstappen’s personal Instagram account posted a supportive remark.
“This must end,” he penned.
“These unfounded charges made by some people on TikTok and Instagram are both absurd and crazy at the same time. This world is not the place for hatred. We are quite content with one another and we are aware of the truth within our family. I cherish you.
Piquet has gained notoriety as the most fashionable “WAG” on the Formula 1 grid.
According to The Sun, the Brazilian and the flying Dutchman began dating in 2020, the year before the latter took home the F1 World Championship for the first time.
Despite the fact that Piquet is nine years older than the 25-year-old world champion, their connection has always generated a lot of attention.
Her lifestyle as an Instagram influencer and her prominent position in the sport have helped her grow her social media following to over 1.5 million users.
Piquet is the daughter of F1 superstar Nelson Piquet, who is now discredited.
In 1981, 1983, and 1987, he drove for Brabham, Williams, Lotus, and Benetton and won three world titles. But due to remarks he made against Lewis Hamilton that were homophobic and racist, he was fined $1.5 million last year.
Red Bull driver Kvyat, a Russian, and Kelly have dated in the past.
Before divorcing in December 2019, they had been together since January 2017 and had a daughter named Penelope.
Verstappen and Kelly started dating approximately a year later, with an official Instagram account launched in January 2021.
Ironically, in the latter portion of the 2016 Formula One season, Verstappen took Kvyat’s seat at Red Bull.
According to Verstappen, he and the three-year-old get along well since he frequently shares pictures of her online.
However, he has also made it clear that he does not intend to take on the role of her father.
