Kathlyn Mayorga\u2019s rape allegation against Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo was mostly met in his home country with disbelief, prompting a strong wave of support for the national icon. Mayorga was often perceived as a \u2018gold digger\u2019. This article explores how traditional gender norms, sex scripts and rape myths underpinned the resignification of the rape allegation into a case of extortion, naturalizing sexual abuse regarding \u2018immoral women\u2019. It examines how the intersection of local patriarchal traditions with the neoliberal order produced a morality which normalized the commodification of women\u2019s and men\u2019s bodies as a path to social mobility. It looks at the commodification of Ronaldo\u2019s body, his key to success as a \u2018super-body\u2019 whose exceptional sports performance granted him respectability, an exceptional social status and access to women\u2019s sexualized bodies. Then, it examines the construction of Mayorga\u2019s body as a sexualized body with less moral and\/or commercial value, operating in an area perceived as indecent (sex as a \u2018gold digger\u2019 or sexual transactions as a prostitute) and whose inflicted harm could be compensated through money.<\/p>\n
