The ex-girlfriend of former Barcelona star Jasper Cillessen claims the Holland goalkeeper 'threatened and blackmailed her several times'.
Speaking to Dutch outlet Story, and reported by AS, Spanish sports journalist Maria Moran claims Cillessen, 33, 'scared her very much'.
It follows reports that Moran is suing Cillessen for allegedly not paying his child's hospital costs.
And last month reports in Spain claimed Moran had filed a complaint over abandonment of family.
According to Story, Moran gave birth to a baby girl called Cayetana in October 2021.
But it was not until November 2022 that Cillessen was revealed as the father.
Moran told Story: 'Jasper threatened and blackmailed me several times, even when I was pregnant.
'He scared me very much.
'I don't care about that man's life. I only care about my daughter, I have to make sure she has food.
'A man who never asked about his daughter, even when she was in hospital with breathing problems, does not deserve respect.
'He knew his daughter was very sick and in hospital. But apparently he didn't care.'
Moran also posted a message on Instagram dedicated to her daughter on International Women's Day.
It read: 'Life is a wonderful journey but at the same time it's hard being a woman. Unfortunately mom has had to keep a low profile to 'win' the battle against powerful men who think money can buy everything.
'Well, anything but sincere love and dignity. She endured many threats from those 'people' who felt they had the right to decide about life, about your life.
'She endured many insults from people who have been trying to silence me for two years, who want me to feel small, to feel like a piece of trash.
'They wanted me to be ashamed of my stomach, which had a live baby in it, because he was a celebrity and I was nothing more than a w***e.
'I have had to keep quiet for fear of losing my job, for fear of losing you. Unfortunately, such threats are also often fulfilled in this country.
'I want you to live in freedom, that no one wants to silence you, that you don't have to bow to anyone, that you can make choices about your own body without being ashamed, that no powerful person makes you feel small, that you have the freedom to decide, speak and feel, without fear for the consequences.'
Neither Cillessen, his agent or NEC have responded to Moran's claims.
