Why John Fashanu, Daughter Are Not on Speaking Terms

Former professional footballer, John Fashanu and his daughter, Amal are not enjoying the best of relationship now. In fact, the duo have not spoken to each other for some months.

Amal, who is the product of the marriage between Spanish model, Marisol Acuna, and the football icon is a presenter, journalist, fashion designer and activist against homophobia in sport and an agent representing her father.

In 2022, father and daughter both worked on securing an ITV deal. The deal was for a British Television series, 'Dancing on Ice,' a skating reality show which involves celebrities and their professional partners dancing on ice skates in front of judges. John Fashanu was announced as one of the participants in the reality show last October, but the show only just kicked off a few weeks ago.

The duo were trying to secure the deal together until Fashanu outsmarted his daughter and clinched the deal without her and allegedly cut her out of it. Amal later discovered that her dad had signed up for the show after getting a phone call from an ITV worker asking if she could be filmed offering support as part of the show.

At the time of the phone call, in which her dad was also on the line, Amal was left speechless as she didn’t know she was no longer his agent. While granting an interview about her father's betrayal, she accused him of going behind her back to secure the deal for the show. She claimed that she hadn’t spoken to her dad since then as she felt used after he completely cut her out of the deal.

Unable to get over his attitude, Amal noted that she wants nothing more to do with him and she is unwilling to make up with him. She added that her father doesn’t think about
