«A normal looking person, a ‘good boyfriend’ was also a misogynist who was returning home normally after attacking a 20-year-old woman in a hotel. It is impossible for each of the people who have shared parts of our personal life with him (in whatever area) not to think how we could blind ourselves to that level of manipulation. Because that is what it is who sustains a network of attacks and humiliations of this magnitude in his daily life: a manipulator», he wrote in this letter where he expresses his total condemnation of what happened.
