Kelly Piquet and Max Verstappen have been tapped in with each other since 2020. Like any relationship, it has had its ups and downs. Unlike other relationships, there is more in the media and more susceptible to rumors flying around that could possibly cause division between them.
So many things have flown out against both of them that Kelly Piquet has finally had enough.
Recently, Kelly Piquet, who is the daughter of retired Brazilian driving champion Nelson Piquet, has come under scrutiny as videos surfaced that share a story of how she met Verstappen while accusing her of spending a night with Max Verstappen while she was in a relationship with somebody else.
The video caused a significant stir among F1 fans as many began to take shots at Piquet based on what was said in the video.
Piquet took to her Instagram to calm things down and posted a fiery message stating claims against her have reached “another level of defamation” over the past few months.
“A note from me and a gentle reminder to all…The online world can be a wonderful place for various reasons, but a very scary one when wrong information and lies are thrown around,” Piquet wrote. “I am unsure of the appropriate approach to address hate stemming from falsehoods. I have considered composing a response and letting it stand.
“For over 3 years, I’ve been navigating a very strange and upsetting wave of accusations, rumors, fabricated situations, fake testimonials, photoshopped screenshots… you name it. All the while staying silent and not playing into these ridiculous claims. Accusations made in the past months especially have taken on another level of defamation. Those who know me know that I would never put myself in such positions, say certain things, or act in such a way.
“I am far from perfect, but I do take pride in my values, morals, and manner. Let that be clear. As a human being, the comments and hate affect me and the people around me deeply. I hope this serves as a reminder for people to verify online content before making threats.”
