Iker Casillas claimed his Twitter account was hacked on Sunday
Spain and Real Madrid icon Iker Casillas was forced to apologize after someone allegedly hacked his Twitter account and made it look as though he were coming out as a homosexual.
“I hope you respect me: I'm gay,” Casillas’ account tweeted on Sunday afternoon.
In the replies, his former Spain national teammate and FC Barcelona rival Carles Puyol wrote: “The time has come to tell our story, Iker,” along with kissing and love heart emojis.
The tweet was taken down around an hour later, with Casillas claiming his account had been hacked.
“Luckily everything [is] in order,” he added.
“Apologies to all my followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community.”
The Spanish newspaper As reported that Casillas was being “ironic” and joking about his sexuality in order to quell rumors that the divorced father of two is in a relationship with actress Alejandra Onieva.
