KATHMANDU: Brazilian model Suzy Cortez, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018, has called the Russian president a ‘violent psychopath’.

Former Miss Butt and creator of digital content for the OnlyFans platform, Brazilian Suzy Cortez expressed her stance on the war in Ukraine in an Instagram post. She revealed that she had been to Russia for an event related to the Football World Cup 2018.

“I went to Russia at the World Cup. I was their muse, I met Putin in person and today I threw all my shirts from them that I won in the trash and I had the special that Adidas did very few and I also threw away the 2018 mascot that I won in Moscow” , wrote the model, completing the message with the hashtag #FreeUkraine.

The 31-year-old model described the uncomfortable experience she had with the Russian president at a dinner after being introduced to him by the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation). “He squeezed my hand and stared at me for a few minutes, which freaked me out a little,” she said. “During the whole event he would sit on a kind of throne and when he wanted to say something to me, he would talk to the secretary, and the secretary would come to me and say what he had said,” she added.

“He praised me a lot and invited me whenever I wanted to visit Russia. When I arrived, I used the Uber to tour Moscow. After Putin arrived, a government car took me where I wanted. I found it very strange because I didn’t know if he was being protected or watched. I stayed a week and returned to Brazil,” the Brazilian model further said.

Her stay in Russia became even more traumatizing. When she returned to Russia for the World Cup, she tried “not to meet him because I don’t feel comfortable with him. I said if I could, I would come back. Then I never saw him again. But today I’m sure I was in danger in Moscow. Putin has proved to be a real violent psychopath by declaring war on Ukraine.”
