Ex-Partner Alleges Dimitri Payet’s 12-Hour Torture and Boasts of 300 Affairs
Former West Ham player Dimitri Payet faces serious allegations from his ex-partner, Larissa Ferrari. She claims that he subjected her to 12 hours of “psychological torture” and boasted of having sexual relations with over 300 women. Larissa, a 29-year-old Brazilian lawyer, asserts that Payet used his celebrity status to entrap her in a controlling and abusive relationship.
Allegations of Abuse and Manipulation
According to Larissa, the 38-year-old former French international employed “mind games” to dominate her life. She describes a series of distressing experiences that left her feeling devalued. Larissa alleges that Payet inflicted physical harm, leaving her with bruises after sexual encounters. Moreover, she claims he controlled her actions through threats and manipulative tactics, including references to supposed mafia connections.
- Dating History: Larissa met Payet on Instagram in August 2023.
- Relationship Dynamics: Initially, their relationship appeared affectionate but quickly morphed into an abusive experience.
- Psychological Impact: Larissa reported thoughts of suicide and emotional distress as consequences of the relationship.
Severe Incidents and Legal Action
One of the most harrowing incidents occurred in January 2025, where Larissa claims she endured a half-day of psychological torment. During this period, she felt compelled to perform degrading acts on camera to appease Payet.
In April 2022, Larissa reported these incidents to the authorities in Brazil. She also states that her relationship with Payet led to pregnancy, followed by a miscarriage.
Dimitri Payet’s Response
Payet has categorically denied all allegations made by Larissa. The player, who had an 18-month stint with West Ham, was transferred to Olympique Marseille for £25 million in 2017. He moved back to Brazil in 2023 after signing with Vasco da Gama, who later released him in the summer of 2023.
