Models Bar Refaeli and Irina Shayk fight over Cristiano Ronaldo’s hair gel

June 22, 2012 by Larry Brown • Comments

If there’s one thing you don’t want to get in the middle of, it’s a Twitter argument between two models over hair gel.

The hair style and heavily-gelled look of soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo sparked some touchiness between models Bar Refaeli and Irina Shayk, the latter of whom has been dating Ronaldo for over two years.

It all started with a tweet Refaeli sent while she was watching Ronadlo’s Portugal team defeat the Czech Republic at Euro 2012 on Thursday:

The only thing I can think of when I watch Ronaldo is that hair gel should really be outlawed !

— Bar Refaeli (@BarRefaeli) June 21, 2012

The tweet was seen by Shayk, who called Refaeli a hater:

@theirishayk I love u and I love ur BF. I just don’t like hair gel.. XX

— Bar Refaeli (@BarRefaeli) June 22, 2012

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but that doesn’t mean they’re not going to hurt some feelings along the way.

Here’s a look at Ronaldo’s hair style that prompted Refaeli’s tweet:

Sorry Bar, but that haircut’s not nearly as offensive as you hooking up with Shaun White.
