The wife of Brazilian legend Dani Alves has lashed out at the media after camping in her home as her husband faces rape allegations.
Alves is accused by an unnamed woman of raping and assaulting her in a nightclub back in December last year.
Joana is also mourning her mother’s death and she has also slammed hospital delays in an emotional Instagram post about her mum’s death last week.
She is now experiencing the most challenging time of her life following the arrest of her husband and footballer in Spain.
Joana tied the knot with the former Barcelona defender in 2017 and she was pictured cheering him on in Qatar when Dani became Brazil’s oldest player at a FIFA World Cup in Qatar aged 39.
“I ask media who are outside my house to please respect my privacy at this moment,” she said according to The Sun.
“My mother died a week ago and I have barely begun to take on board that she is no longer with me, for me to be tormented with the situation of my husband.
“I have lost the only two pillars in my life.
“Have a little empathy, instead of looking for news in other people’s pain, thank you.”
While Dani is currently clubless after seeing his contract terminated by the Mexican side Pumas UNAM he has also denied any wrongdoing, saying he doesn’t know the woman.
“I don’t know who this lady is,” he told a Spanish TV station.
“I don’t know her name, I don’t know her, I’ve never seen her in my life.”
Meanwhile, his first wife and the mother of his two children also backed him following Friday’s arrest.
Brazilian businesswoman Dana Dinorah told a Spanish TV show: “I’m still in shock. It seems like it’s a nightmare and it’s not happening. Dani would never ever ever do this.
“I say this because I’ve known him for 22 years and was married to him for ten. This has been a shock for me and for my children. I have two teenage children who are suffering.”
