“So, The Sun has done it wrong again. The news is 100% false and without foundation.
I was shocked, angry and frustrated that some media used me to make false headlines, take advantage of the situation in France and hook the French team in the news.
I am against all forms of terror and violence. Unfortunately, some outlets act irresponsibly and abuse press freedom when writing news.
They don’t verify what they write and have created a chain of gossip regardless of the impact on my life and on society.
I will take legal action against the media and anyone who spreads this fake news.
For The Sun, you will remember how your teacher taught you to write news after checking the sources. However, all of you are now making mistakes again and this is a very serious matter.
All of you (The Sun), what a shame!“
