In the aftermath of their 12-year relationship, Shakira and Gerard Pique faced a stark contrast in public opinion. Reports suggest that Pique bore the brunt of criticism following their split, particularly after the release of Shakira’s diss tracks. The former footballer has been subjected to a barrage of negative comments from the singer’s passionate fanbase.

In a recent statement, Pique opened up about his experience in handling the criticism and bravely called out the toxic behavior exhibited by some of Shakira’s fans. It is evident that the constant stream of negative remarks has deeply affected him on a personal level.

Following his breakup with Shakira last year, Gerard Pique has consistently faced negative scrutiny in various news outlets. Adding to the difficult situation, Pique entered into a new relationship with Clara Chia Martir, who is 23 years old, shortly after the split.

Since then, he has been relentlessly hounded and subjected to criticism by the singer’s devoted fanbase. Unfortunately, this relentless scrutiny has also extended to his girlfriend and his mother, as they have been unfairly dragged into the public discourse by these fans.

Despite the constant stream of negativity surrounding him, Gerard Pique has managed to navigate through the challenging situation, acknowledging the significant effort it has taken to remain unaffected. During a recent interview with Gerard Romero, he candidly addressed the fans and supporters of his ex-partner, stating, “These people have no lives, and why should I care? I’ll never meet them; they’re robots, you know?”

Moreover, Pique shared his approach to dealing with the overwhelming amount of negative criticism directed towards him, which is to adopt a nonchalant attitude. He emphasized that this mindset has been crucial in safeguarding his mental well-being and preventing him from succumbing to despair. By choosing not to invest emotionally in the ongoing drama surrounding his relationships, Pique has found a way to preserve his peace of mind.

Shakira and Gerard Pique’s relationship began in 2010 when they met during the filming of the music video for “Waka Waka.” They quickly connected with each other and remained together for over a decade, during which they welcomed two sons, Sasha and Milan. However, their relationship came to an end in mid-2022.

Rumors started circulating that Pique had already begun dating his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, while still in a relationship with Shakira. This added another layer of drama to the situation. Subsequently, tensions escalated when Shakira released diss tracks that were directed towards her ex-partner. The release of these songs further intensified the public discourse surrounding their breakup.
