Kylian Mbappé Denies Involvement in Swedish Hotel Incident, Hints at PSG in ‘Fake News’ Accusation
The Swedish press has reported on an alleged rape that occurred in the hotel where Kylian Mbappé was staying at the time. The player is not pleased with the association being made between the incident and his presence.
Kylian Mbappé has firmly spoken out. The player denied any involvement in the disturbing incident that took place at the hotel where he was staying during his controversial trip to Sweden.
RMC summarized the situation and shared details on X: « According to the Swedish press, Stockholm police have launched an investigation after a woman filed a complaint for an alleged rape that reportedly took place at the hotel where Kylian Mbappé and his entourage spent two days last week, » wrote RMC in an article citing a local newspaper. However, RMC never directly linked Mbappé to the incident.
Mbappé quickly responded, stating that his name should not be connected to the case. He wrote on X: « FAKE NEWS !!!! ❌❌❌ It’s becoming so predictable, right before an important meeting, how convenient, » referring to an upcoming event.
Is the player indirectly accusing PSG? Mbappé and the club are set to appear before the Professional Football League’s joint commission of appeals this Tuesday (the « meeting » he mentioned), following a legal dispute over salary and bonuses owed by the club.
Arthur Perrot, a journalist from RMC, reached out to PSG for a response, and a source close to the club stated: « This is shameful. We will maintain our class and dignity, » following Mbappé’s tweet.
