Montserrat is a doctor at the Institut Guttmann in Spain, and she is known for keeping her family life private, however she seemed to agree with fans of the singer. The first tweet was referencing the lyrics of the song.

“I’m sorry, but he destroyed his image himself, and he is the one to blame,” the tweet reads in Spanish. “He destroyed his career for thinking too much of himself, and thinking everyone would be on his side,” adding that “he fell in love with someone else, but the way he acted was wrong,” [Shakira]
