This Wednesday goes on sale the book 'Nothing is what it seems', by the model Lucía Rivera, daughter of Blanca Romero. In it, the 24-year-old reviews some of the most important moments of her life, such as the health problems she suffered as soon as she was born, and reveals, among other things, that she suffered abuse by two ex-boyfriends.

Specifically, according to Antena 3, which has had access to the book, Lucia suffered psychological abuse by her first boyfriend and psychological and physical by the second when she was very young.

The model has assured in her Instagram account that she is made "a bundle of nerves" before the imminent publication of this autobiographical book. "My stomach is completely closed. A mixture of wanting to run out or sit down to eat popcorn watching the occasional face of amazement, "he says. She says she felt "completely lost" but that by writing the book she has managed to find herself. "I emptied this backpack that weighed tons and now I'm light," she adds.

The young woman says in the book that her first boyfriend forbade her to go out with her friends and controlled her phone or how she dressed. "He showed up at the door of my house screaming, looked for men inside the closet thinking I was cheating on him and yelled at me until I gave him the mobile and let him check it," reveals Antena 3. Some time later, with a second partner, the psychological abuse also became physical.

After these episodes and after quite some time, Lucía Rivera considers that she was the "perfect victim" since she was "a girl with many internalized abuses, possessive jealousy, insults and intermittent reinforcements."

"It's complicated to recover. But just getting out of there gives you back the life that the abuser has stolen from you," he acknowledges.
