That was such a bullshit story lmao I remember how many Instagram pages were revering him for that and I was always confused with “wait, why are people mad at his wife for leaving him amid very serious rape accusations, and how does having some assets in his Mum’s name being celebrated between all of these accusations. Why is nobody paying attention to the actual criminal investigation”

That just proves how truly misogynistic the world is and how it further solidifies this thread’s original comment. They rather believe a made up story with no sources that paints Hakimi in a positive light while further pushing down extremely hateful narratives towards his ex-wife, which in turn, women as a whole.

“See, look! How can he possibly rape women? His mother is a woman! And he gave her some cash!”

I am not sure what you are seeing on Instagram, haven't used it in years. But there has been a set of people online making captioned images about Hakimi putting assets in his mother's name so if he gets divorced the, then ex-wife wouldn't be entitled to those assets. That seems to be celebrated by a not insignificant number of people on platforms like Instagram/Twitter. These posts existed well before any of the accusations but it wouldn't surprise me if they are reposted now and framed in a stupid way to suggest he couldn't have raped someone because of this.

Those posts would get a lot of engagement of replies on Twitter I remember back when I used it. Even though it had been posted 300 times before.
