Verstappen, Kelly raises his voice on Instagram: “Enough fake news”

The couple launches an appeal

Max Verstappen And Kelly Piquet they have had a stable and long-lasting relationship for several years as demonstrated by the affection that Penelope, the daughter Kelly Piquet had with her previous partner, Daniil Kvyat, shows towards the three-time world champion. The gossip mainly targets the daughter of the Brazilian driver Nelson and recently too many falsehoods have circulated on social media which have evidently pushed Kelly Piquet to publish a long post on Instagram to launch an appeal against those who exaggerate with their imagination by circulating unfounded and harmful content online.

“A note from me and a gentle reminder to everyone – he begins Kelly Piquet – the online world can be a wonderful place for various reasons, but very scary when misinformation and lies are spread. I’m not sure what the appropriate approach would be to talk about the hatred that comes from falsehoods, but I decided that this post could be an answer to that. For over three years I have gone through a very strange and shocking wave of accusations, rumors, made-up situations, false testimonies, photoshopped screenshots, etc. by remaining silent and not giving lip service to these ridiculous claims. The accusations made in recent months have taken on another level of defamation. Anyone who knows me knows that I would never put myself in these positions, I would never say certain things and I would never act in this way. I’m far from perfect, but I’m proud of my values, my morals and my ways. To be clear. As a human being, comments and hate deeply affect me and the people around me. I hope this serves to remind people to check content online before circulating it. I hope that those who have helped fuel a whole series of falsehoods against me will take a moment to reflect on the real consequences of spreading lies and hatred. Remember, as James Clear says (American writer, ed): ‘Every action we take is a vote for who we want to be.’ Let us choose the best human beings for ourselves and others.’

Max Verstappen commented on his partner’s post with this further message appealing for a greater sense of responsibility on social media: “This has to stop. These false accusations by some individuals on Instagram and TikTok are crazy and ridiculous at the same time. Hate has no place in this world. We know what is true in our family and we are very happy together.”
