Dimitri Payet Accused of Abusing Lawyer Mistress in Brazil Amid Shocking Allegations of Physical and Psychological Violence

Dimitri Payet, the married former Premier League star best known for his time at West Ham United and Marseille, is facing disturbing allegations of abuse from a woman claiming to have had a months-long affair with the French footballer. The accusations, currently under investigation by Brazilian authorities, include claims of both physical and psychological violence.

Payet, 38, who currently plays for Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro, allegedly subjected his reported mistress, Brazilian lawyer Larissa Ferrari, 28, to a series of degrading and abusive acts during their seven-month relationship.

According to multiple reports, including statements from Ferrari to Agence France Presse (AFP), Payet is accused of forcing her to drink her own urine, lick the floor, and consume water from a toilet bowl as a form of punishment during the affair, which reportedly began in August 2023. Ferrari claims the abuse escalated after a dispute in December, prompting her to seek legal protection from the police.

“I want justice because he abused my psychological vulnerability to gain sexual advantage,” Ferrari said in her statement to AFP.

Police Confirm Investigation into Abuse Allegations

The police in Rio de Janeiro have confirmed that the case is currently being investigated by a women's protection unit, specializing in cases involving domestic and gender-based violence.

“The investigation is ongoing,” a Rio police spokesperson stated. “The complaint was registered at a police station specializing in assistance to women.”

According to official police documents, Ferrari alleged that she was “assaulted by Dimitri Payet, which left marks on her body,” and that she suffered “physical, moral, psychological, and sexual violence” throughout their relationship.

While Payet has yet to make any public statement regarding the accusations, the seriousness of the claims has shocked both fans and the wider football community, especially considering the midfielder’s previously low-profile personal life.

A Relationship That Turned Dark

Ferrari claims that her involvement with Payet began shortly after she finalized her divorce. She states that the two grew close quickly due to frequent communication and visits, describing the footballer as “very affectionate” in the early days of the affair.

“Our intention initially wasn’t to get so involved, but it just happened,” she said. “We got very close because I had just gone through a divorce, and he often felt lonely.”

Ferrari added that she visited Payet at his home approximately every 12 days, staying for several days at a time.

“With so much closeness, the meetings became more frequent,” she said. “And with so much affection exchanged, it was impossible not to become attached.”
