Cristiano Ronaldo, JuventusThe most popular football player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo has had great success on the field but has also faced controversial allegations off the field in the last couple of years. Ronaldo who used to play for Real Madrid was accused of not paying his taxes and faced charges in a Spanish court.

The tax evasion charges received a lot of publicity and Ronaldo went underground for a bit in an effort to avoid the media scrutiny. He was not happy with the way he was treated in Spain and decided to leave his club Real Madrid and move to Italy to join Juventus.

Just as he started settling in Juventus, the football star was under the hammer again after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department re-opened an investigation from 2009 in which ex-model Kathryn Mayorga alleged that Ronaldo had raped her in his hotel room. Mayorga and her legal team allege that Ronaldo then paid her hush money in order to keep her silent.

The allegations once again caused a lot of drama for Ronaldo and his family. One of his biggest sponsors is Nike and they were thinking about revoking their sponsorship amidst these allegations. Ronaldo’s legal team denied the allegations while Ronaldo decided to go underground yet again and stay away from the media scrutiny.
