ÒÀÜI fucking hate you. I want you to be dead! ” Rita Agassi (60) recently fired these words at her brother, tennis legend Andre Agassi (51), via Instagram. She wanted to see her brother “burn in hell and laugh at it”. She laughed the same way when her father Mike Agassi († 90) died at the end of September. As a result of the death threats, Andre Agassi and his wife Steffi Graf (52) even applied for personal protection.
The chances of reconciliation were actually zero. Actually … As the “Bild” wants to know from the tennis couple’s environment, the American has reconciled with his sister. The eight-time Grand Slam winner is now even supposed to pay therapy costs for his sister.
Rita rejected her son
The background to the death threats: Rita’s partner Ricardo Gonzalez († 67) died, after which there was an argument between her and son Skylar Gonzalez (35), which ended in the separation. “He is now my orphaned son,” she wrote. At the time, the 60-year-old was not able to cope with her son’s lifestyle.
“He no longer has parents and can be happy that he still has uncles and aunts who are there for him,” she was quoted as saying about two years ago. Agassi and Graf took the 35-year-old in with them.
Back to the «perfect family»
Above all, Steffi Graf should be responsible for the debate. She took on the role of mediator between Andre and his sister. In any case, the German, who has clinched 22 Grand Slam titles in her career, is indispensable for her husband: “Steffi is a solid rock, we master every challenge together.”
And now the quarrel with Rita Agassi seems to have been overcome. This means that the “perfect family”, as Steffi Graf described it before the feud began, is reunited. (che)
