Maripily reveals that she was the victim of violence by her ex-partner

Model and businesswoman Maripily Rivera revealed that she was the victim of gender violence by her ex-partner, whom she met in Los Angeles and had a relationship for six months.

According to an interview with the businesswoman with People en Español magazine, there were three incidents of violence with the Pakistani builder: during a visit to Sister Maripily’s house; a month ago, at a beach house in Puerto Rico and – which was the trigger – last Friday at the Miami businesswoman’s apartment.

The abuse, Maripily explains, was both verbal and physical. “He made fun of me, as I was talking, he said my friends are crazy. He called me crazy. That we Latinos do not know how to speak “, he told the magazine.

But last Friday the aggression was physical.

“I talked to him and told him we had to break up and I would give him a few days to find a place to go and it all started because he went to drink wine and got drunk and started screaming at me as soon as he entered. (He told me) that my son had to apologize because at one point (when he violated me), my son Joe Joe was at home and told him he had to leave the house and he told me that his son he made him apologize and he was crazy. (I told him): “Respect my son, don’t talk about my son. And if I’m crazy, then you have to leave now, you’ll have to leave my house, or I’ll call the police to get you out.

Maripily says that while she was packing, he grabbed her by the neck and threw her on the floor. “I fall into my son’s bed and to protect my head and not break my neck on the wood in the corner, I hit my ribs. When he saw me lying on the floor, he got scared and left the house “. So he called the police and filed a complaint.

The photos shared by Maripily with People en Español show the bruises on the side.

“I do not know how I can last so long. Loneliness leads you to this. These days I thought, “Lord, why have I endured so much, why is my self-esteem so low” … I am strong and it was very hard for me. I’m calm to resume my meetings. I can’t let myself fall. I have my psychiatrist, the husband of my best friend, with whom I talk a lot. Yesterday I had nightmares with this event, I have my sad moments, but I have to get up and continue my routine “, he said.
