Antonela Avellaneda says she sold nudes to Maradona: ‘I paid for the photos’

by

Antonela Avellaneda, 39, revealed that, even before her fame, she had a very illustrious fan in her homeland. The Argentinian model claimed that Maradona (1960-2020) was fascinated by her beauty and would pay to see pictures of her completely naked.

“It was my first job with nudity,” he said in an interview with the Extra newspaper. The former BBB and former participant of Ilha Record, who currently has a profile on adult content sites, said that this occurred even before she posed for Playboy magazine for the first time, after winning the Felinas contest, in 2003.

“At the time, as all this cell phone technology didn’t exist, the photos took place in a studio,” he said. “He paid for the photos for me. We did it every week, always with me wearing a different costume.”

Still in the publication, Antonela says that Maradona did not make any imposition, and that she liked the work. “I’ve always felt comfortable with my body and I thought it was great that the rehearsals were for Maradona,” she said. “I always loved him! Everything happened naturally. He was 20 years old and the photos were exclusive to him.”

For her, her artistic career and as a participant in reality shows was the result of this experience with the Argentine ace. “It was he who gave me the courage and strength to believe in myself, in my potential,” she said.

“[Ele] he told me to always do my best in everything I did, without caring about other people’s opinions”, he recalled. “We talked on the phone. But in the last few years, when he got sick, I made room for the family to take care of him. I cried a lot when he died. I was in Brazil.”
