Kylian Mbappe reacts to shocking rape allegations

Kylian Mbappe as well as his lawyers have reacted to the shocking rape allegations levelled against him in a report from a Swedish media house.

As fans eagerly prepare for the next club football fixtures, reports of Kylian Mbappe and his entourage being involved in a rape and sexual assault charge surfaced on Monday, October 14, 2024.

What Happened to Mbappe in Sweden?

Kylian Mbappe was in Stockholm during the international break last week, while authorities are now looking into a suspected rape that reportedly occurred on October 10, 2024, at the same hotel where the French star player and his entourage stayed during their visit.

Swedish police have not confirmed whether Mbappe or his entourage were involved in or aware of the alleged incident at the hotel during his visit.

Mbappe has since resumed training with his Real Madrid teammates, and his lawyer, Maitre Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, has stated that she has not received any communication from Swedish authorities regarding the matter.

In response to the allegations, Mbappe took to his official X account, dismissing the claims as "fake news." He also hinted that his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, with whom he is currently in a legal dispute over €55 million (£45.9m) in unpaid wages, might be behind the story.

What did Mbappe's lawyers say about the rape allegations?

Mbappe’s legal representative, Maitre Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, strongly denied the accusations. She stated that neither she nor Mbappe had received any communication from Swedish police regarding the matter and questioned the validity of the complaint.

She argued that a complaint alone does not prove guilt and emphasized that Mbappe is always accompanied by his entourage, making it impossible for him to find himself in compromising situations. She reaffirmed that there is no possibility of Mbappe having committed any wrongful acts, expressing complete certainty in his innocence.

Additionally, she noted that Mbappe is calm but shocked by the media attention surrounding the issue.
