The Colombian singer Shakira asked the media to respect the right to privacy of her children, Milan and Sasha.
La Barranquillera assured that her little ones have experienced a very difficult year, after the recent breakup of the artist and soccer player Gerard Piqué, she stressed that they suffer “an incessant siege and relentless persecution by paparazzi and various media in Barcelona” , for which he requested on behalf of his children, that in this new stage of their lives, they do not persecute them.
«I beg you to refrain from following them to the exit or entrance of the school, waiting for them at the door of our house, or chasing them to their extra-curricular and recreational activities, as has happened every day in Barcelona in order to obtain photographic captures or better ratings,” he wrote.
It should be noted that a few weeks ago Shakira said that her children were accompanying her in this process of healing and revival as a singer and as a woman, and even indicated that “they now have a fairly active participation in my career, because they have good ideas, they have a lot of criteria and opinions, they always have something to say, in the video of I congratulate you, Sasha, he had the idea of the robot and Milan had the idea of the green fire”.
He assured that he trusts that journalists and photographers can behave in the most humane way possible with them, “taking into account that it is about the health and physical and emotional integrity of two minors aged 8 and 10 who only want to be able to go out to the street, and attend school feeling safe and having the peace of mind of not being persecuted or subjected to the constant scrutiny of the cameras».
“I extend this request no longer as an artist, but as a mother who wants to protect and care for the psychological and emotional well-being of her children so that they can live a healthy and happy life, as every child deserves,” she said.
