Lamine Yamal's Birthday Party Performer Defends Star Amidst Social Rights Investigation
An entertainer present at Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal's 18th birthday party has publicly defended the football star amidst an ongoing investigation by Spain's Ministry of Social Rights. The Ministry launched an inquiry after reports surfaced that Yamal had hired performers with dwarfism for his celebration. The entertainer, speaking on a Spanish radio station, asserted that no disrespect occurred during the event. "We weren't disrespected in any way, and everyone had a great time," the performer stated. They further questioned the backlash Yamal has received, emphasizing their professional role. "We work as entertainers. Why can't we do it because of our physical condition?" the performer asked, highlighting concerns about potential discrimination. The entertainer added that they are aware of their limits and, after an hour of performing, dancing, pouring drinks, and magic, they joined the party like any other guest. The Ministry's investigation is expected to determine if any social rights violations occurred.
