Gonzalo Higuain: Stunning fencer and model Antonella Fiordelisi apologises to Juventus striker – after claiming he pestered her pictures of her bum on Instagram
Part-time model called Argentinian 'sick' as she posted a screenshot of a private conversation seemingly with star
A STUNNING Italian fencer apologised to Gonzalo Higuain – after claiming he pestered her for pictures of her bum on Instagram.
Antonella Fiordelisi caused a stir on social media on Thursday when she posted a screenshot of a private conversation, seemingly with the Juventus striker.
The post appears to show £75million star Higuain, 29, asking for a saucy snap, saying: “Another one. Like the ones on Instagram.”

Eighteen-year-old Fiordelisi replies, "I'll do it in a moment, hang on."
The part-time model, who competes in fencing’s Junior World Cup, made the comments after being asked how she knew the Argentina international and Juve team-mate Patrice Evra.
Fiordelisi replied: “Higuain, he asks for pictures of my a**e on Twitter...he's sick!”
She was then heavily criticised by fans of Higuain – who is reportedly dating gorgeous Lara Wechsler.
And the beauty quickly apologised for the posts – insisting it was just a joke.
She wrote on Facebook: “Just for clarity: I spoke with Higuain a couple of times on Instagram, and our conversations were playful and funny.
“I did not want to offend him – Higuain is not sick, he has always been polite with me and never inappropriate.
“I apologise to him, it did not intend to create needless gossip. It was just a joke.”
Higuain has not commented on the claims.
He has scored thirteen goals in 23 games for Juve this season since his controversial transfer from Napoli last summer.
Fiordelisi has won 16 of her 38 competitive fencing duels.
