Olivier Giroud has found himself at the center of a media storm after compromising photos were published in the British press, showing him in the company of an escort girl, Celia Kay. Since then, Giroud has publicly apologized to his wife, family, manager, teammates, and Arsenal supporters. However, he has now made a new statement on his Twitter account, asserting that while he made a mistake, he did not commit adultery.
In his tweet, Giroud clarified his stance, stating, “A final clarification regarding my apologies…YES I made a mistake but NO I did not commit adultery! Let things be clear…” This statement comes amidst ongoing scrutiny and criticism from various quarters.
It’s not uncommon for Premier League players to face scandals involving escort girls and compromising photos. Past incidents involving players like Patrice Evra and Cristiano Ronaldo have garnered attention. In France, the Zahia affair involving Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema also received significant media coverage.
Despite Giroud’s attempt to clear the air, it appears that his troubles are far from over as the controversy continues to unfold.
