Payet's horrifying acts on his partner
As initially reported in Brazil, Payet, who is now playing for Vasco da Gama, faces accusations of both physical and psychological violence from Larissa Ferrari, a 28-year-old Brazilian lawyer. Ferrari claims to have been in a relationship with the player for nearly a year.
"I want justice because he abused my psychological vulnerability to gain sexual advantage. He demanded proof of love from me, which consisted of humiliation. I recorded videos in which I drank my urine, drank water from the toilet bowl, and licked the floor. I'm a lawyer; I would never have made such serious complaints lightly." She said.
Larissa Ferrari made horrific revelations regarding her mistreatment by the footballer. She accused him of punishing her in inhumane ways, like forcing her to drink her own urine and licking the floor.
"One thing I want to make clear is that it was never about money. There was no need for it. There's not much I can say because there's no explanation or anything to justify it. In fact, the last time I went to Rio, I went by bus." She revealed.
Dimitri Payet, the former Premier League player for West Ham, left English football in 2017 to return to Marseille. In 2023, he joined Vasco da Gama. Payet and Larissa met in 2024. The latter claimed their relationship intensified at the back of emotional vulnerability on both sides.
