As you know I only use Instagram superficially and I don't understand all this really."

Describing Georgina as her daughter-in-law, which is normal in Europe, although she and Cristiano are not officially married, Dolores added: "If I stopped following my daughter-in-law and other people it was by accident. I must have confused a button without meaning to. Stop making up stories because there's no rift."
