Overview
- Cline said on the Therapuss podcast on Thursday, August 13 that officers repeatedly came to her Madrid apartment because they believed she ran an illegal sex ring.
- She told host Jake Shane that she lived alone and denied being a madam or involved in sex work.
- Cline said police repeatedly took her passport and collected her personal information during the visits, which left her frightened and uncertain how to respond.
- Cline said Penélope Cruz told her the building was Cruz’s first apartment and that an old neighbor had warned it “attracts some local crime ring,” which may explain why police focused on that address.
- All published accounts come from Cline’s podcast remarks and there is no public confirmation or comment from Spanish authorities, so independent verification and official responses are still pending.
