On Instagram, he wrote: “The recent incident during the tennis match has caused a disproportionate uproar online. It all revolves around the famous cap, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, in life, it’s first come, first served. I understand that this might not please some people, but please, let’s not turn this hat into a global scandal. It’s just a cap. If you were faster, you would have had it. Regarding the online hate, I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal prosecution. All offensive comments, slanders, and insinuations will be analyzed for possible legal action.”
It was a fake. The dude apologized. Still gets the wall, but we don’t need the misinformation.
