This Wednesday the book ‘Nothing is what it seems’, by the model Lucía Rivera, daughter of Blanca Romero, goes on sale. In it, the 24-year-old girl reviews some of the most notable moments of her life, such as the health problems she suffered as soon as she was born, and reveals, among other things, that she suffered abuse from two ex-boyfriends.
Specifically, as revealed by Antena 3, which has had access to the book, Lucia suffered psychological abuse from her first boyfriend and psychological and physical abuse from her second when she was very young.
The model has assured on her Instagram account that she is “a bundle of nerves” before the imminent publication of this autobiographical book. “My stomach is completely closed. A mixture of wanting to run away or sit down to eat popcorn seeing the odd face of astonishment,” she says. She assures that she felt “completely lost” but that by writing the book she has managed to find herself. “I’ve emptied this backpack that weighed tons and now I’m going light,” she adds.
The young woman assures in the book that her first boyfriend forbade her to go out with her friends and controlled her phone or how she dressed. “He would show up at the door of my house screaming, he would look for men inside the closet thinking that I was cheating on him and he would yell at me until I gave him my phone and let him review it,” Antena 3 reveals. Later, with a second partner, psychological abuse also became physical.
After these episodes and after quite some time, Lucía Rivera considers that she was the “perfect victim” since she was “a girl with many internalized abuses, possessive jealousy, insults and intermittent reinforcements.”
“It’s fucking difficult to recover. But just getting out of there gives you back the life that the abuser has stolen from you,” he admits.
