Payet lands in trouble over domestic violence. Details of the situation are shocking
Dimitri Payet is well-known to English football fans, having once played for West Ham. However, the Euro 2016 runner-up moved to Brazilian club Vasco da Gama in 2023, where he has encountered some serious issues.
Details: Payet did not bring his wife and children to Brazil; they stayed in France. In Brazil, the footballer became involved with a local lawyer and blogger, Larissa Ferrari, who revealed shocking details about their relationship, which have led to a police report.
Quote: “The first argument happened in December. He was forcing me to prove that I loved him. These were such humiliating things as drinking my own urine, licking the floor, or drinking water from the toilet.
He emotionally blackmailed me. He wanted to gain a sexual advantage. I left Rio. I'm being treated by psychologists and psychiatrists. I'm speaking out because I want to help other women going through similar experiences.”
The footballer himself has not responded to these allegations, but Brazilian police have confirmed they received a report from Ferrari.
