Mick Jagger's former Brazilian lover has told her country to stop 'cyber-bullying' him after he was branded a national curse for backing Brazil in the World Cup.
The Rolling Stones singer, 70, was spotted in a VIP box at the Mineirao stadium on Tuesday night as the host nation was thrashed 7-1 by Germany in one of the worst defeats of the tournament's history.
Jagger has offered words of support to whichever country his band entertains - often with seemingly disastrous results.
Jagger earned his nickname after he told fans during a show in Rome that Italy would beat Uruguay and advance to the knockout stages, but the Italians lost and were eliminated.
He then told fans in Lisbon that Portugal would win the World Cup - and they too were eliminated.
He reportedly joined Bill Clinton to cheer on the United States, who lost to Ghana in the second round.
And after rooting for England against Uruguay, they too were humiliated by two Suarez goals.
It is not the first time Brazilians have described Jagger as a curse for the national side.
During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, some parts of the Brazilian media claimed their team lost to the Netherlands in the quarter finals because Jagger wore a Brazil shirt to the game.
