In 2004, she became infamous for a videotape leaked on the Internet showing her having sex with a man. This would be devastating to her public image, as she was a symbol for religious modesty, promoting abstinence in many of her public appearances. The tape, supposedly private, was released on the peer-to-peer networks and soon captured the attention of a Croatian web portal Index.hr, which then published an article about it featuring several screenshots from the video. After that, the news spread into local mass media and the video quickly became the most downloaded item in the country at the time. Amidst the pornographic scandal, Severina decided to sue the portal for copyright infringement as well as invasion of privacy, but the case was subsequently dismissed by the district court in Zagreb.

Adio ljube. Also along with Ortiz, Ramirez hit back-to-back home runs six times, tying the major league single season set by Hank Greenberg and Rudy York (Detroit Tigers) and Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordóñez (Chicago White Sox). In addition, Ramírez and David Ortiz became the first pair of American League teammates to hit 40 home runs, have 100 RBI, and bat .300 since the Yankees Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in 1931, and the first Red Sox duo with 40 homers since Tony Armas and Jim Rice (1984). He led the American League in home runs (43), slugging average (.613) and OPS (1.009); finished 3rd in RBI (130), 6th in on base percentage (.397), 8th in base on balls (82), 10th in runs (108), and posted a .308 batting average. Coupled with impressive play on the field, this absolved Ramírez in the eyes of many Boston fans and sportswriters. He displayed a good attitude and an enthusiasm for playing, two qualities his critics had charged that he lacked. In 2004, nevertheless, Ramírez silenced his critics. All 29 other teams passed, due to the length and costs of his contract. After the season, the Red Sox put him on irrevocable waivers, meaning he was had but for the asking. Some Red Sox fans criticized the outfielder, saying he should have played despite the ailment. When it was learned that he had been seen in a hotel lobby with close friend, Yankees infielder Enrique Wilson, the controversy grew, causing Boston manager Grady Little to bench Ramírez for one game. In the summer of 2003, Ramírez found himself as the latest victim of the Boston Sports Media's thirst for blood when he missed several games with pharyngitis. He is aggressive playing balls off the Green Monster and holding runners to singles. Ramirez is an adept left fielder in Fenway Park, as he's learned to play all the corners and angles. He still has trouble at times with footwork, his range is limited, but his arm is fairly strong, he has soft hands, and his hard work improves every aspect of his game. As a fielder, he's not going for any Gold Glove Awards. He has good power that way and seems content to go with the pitch, but he is not afraid to take the occasional free walk. He does most of his hitting from center field to the right field line. He combines power, contact and patience at the plate, against left-handed pitchers and righties equally well, but he still doesn't pull the ball very often for a power hitter. Arguably, Ramírez is the best all-around righthanded hitter in the American League. He has totaled 390 home runs and 1270 RBI in 1535 games. Through the 2004 season, Ramírez is a career .316 hitter, with a .397 on base percentage and a .613 slugging average. Though originally from the Dominican Republic, he grew up in the Washington Heights section of New York City a short walk away from Yankee Stadium. He bats and throws right-handed. Previously, Ramírez played with the Cleveland Indians (1993-2000). Manny Ramírez [rah-MEE-rez], born Manuel Arístides Ramírez (May 30, 1972 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic), is an outfielder in Major League Baseball who plays for the Boston Red Sox (since 2001). He was featured on the cover of the Electronic Arts Sports electronic game MVP Baseball 2005 [1] (http://www.easports.com/games/mvp2005/home.jsp). Ramírez appealed to fans by joining the 2004 Red Sox tradition of growing a unique hairstyle, maintaining a solid set of dreadlocks throughout the season. His 165 RBI total in 1999 was the highest by any player since Jimmie Foxx in 1938; and made him the first player to have more RBI's than games played in a season since Ted Williams in 1949. He made the All-Star team four times, and hit 127 homers and 432 RBI in 415 games over last three seasons. 1993-2000: Ramírez collected 236 home runs and 804 RBI in 967 games, including a career-high 45 home runs in 1998, and a team-record career-high 165 RBI in 1999, when he hit .333 with 44 homers and 131 runs (also a career-high). 129 intentional walks - 12th and 56th. 1.010 OPS - 3rd and 9th. 785 extra base hits - 18th and 89th. .599 slugging average - 3rd and 8th. .411 on base percentage - 9th and 35th. 1270 RBI - 12th and 98th. 390 home runs - 12th and 43rd. .316 batting average - 4th and 69th.
