      She claims he then immediately shared footage of the alleged attack eight years ago with revellers, Daily Mail reports.
      Chloe revealed she has never seen the clip and has no idea whether it even still exists but told how part of her wants to see it.
      She said: “I don’t know exactly what was shared. Part of me wishes I’d seen the video, so I had some form of evidence.
      “I don’t think I had any idea what was going on. It’s still there in my mind, but how it got from him being sat in a chair to that…if I was with it, I’d surely remember him filming.”

      Chloe said she had never met the footballer prior to that night eight years and hasn’t seen him since.
      She told how she had been hanging out in the bedroom with her housemate and the player when her friend left.
      Chloe said she asked “don’t shut the door” as she was adamant nothing would happen.
      She admitted her memories are hazy about the alleged attack but claims she wasn’t drunk and never consented to sex.

      Chloe said: “The next thing I remember is my housemate back at my room, banging on the door, asking, ‘What’s going on?’
      “[The footballer] had a pillow covering himself and let her in. I’m surprised he even opened the door.”
      It was then Chloe discovered the encounter had been filmed and was quickly circulating around the other party-goers, she claimed.
      At the point, she claims she was still on the bed “unable to move” and struggling to understand what had happened.
      Chloe has never reported the attack to the police or her parents and told how she “completely buried it”.
      It was only when her boyfriend asked if she wanted to go to the football that she opened up to him.
      She said: “I had completely buried it and shut it off in my head.
      “I look back on those years and realise I wasn’t all right. I couldn’t even say the word ‘rape’ for a long time.
      “The anger came through therapy and how that was impacting my life.

      “It got to the point where the footballer who assaulted me would be playing against the team my boyfriend supported in the Premier League.
      “By this point in our relationship, [my boyfriend] couldn’t touch me intimately without me having a panic attack or getting upset. It was impacting our relationship. It couldn’t not.”

      PSG star Gianluigi Donnarumma’s home raided by gang who tied up goalkeeper & girlfriend and stole £430k worth of loot

      by

      PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was attacked and tied up by a gang who ransacked his Paris home.Crooks are understood to have stolen flash items worth around £430,000 from the Italian footballer, 24, and his girlfriend Alessia Elefante during the terrifying raid on Thursday night.

      Thieves smashed down a door to his home in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital before attacking the pair, a source told Actu17.
      They were then tied up before burglars made off with watches, jewellery and other luxury goods – thought to be worth around 500,000 euros (£430k).
      Donnarumma and interior designer Alessia were able to escape to a nearby hotel at about 3.20am local time (2.20amBST), where shocked staff phoned police, it is reported.
      The couple were taken to hospital to be checked over by medics.
      More football news
      An insider told Le Parisien that Donnarumma was “slightly injured”.
      Cops are investigating the incident and are hunting for the burglars, who remain on the run.
      A spokesman for the Paris prosecutor’s office told the BBC: “An investigation has been opened on charges of armed robbery in an organised gang and aggravated violence following the events that took place overnight at Mr Donnarumma’s place.”
      Donnarumma is the latest footballer to be targeted by gangs in Paris.

      Two men were jailed this year after burgling the home of Argentinian star Angel Di Maria in March 2021.
      Cash, watches and jewellery worth £450,000 were swiped.
      That same night, crooks broke into the home of teammate Marquinhos and hit his dad, who was at the house with his two daughters.
      It is unclear whether Donnarumma will be on the team sheet for PSG’s first friendly match of the season against Le Havre today.
      He was part of Italy’s Euro 2020 squad that triumphed over England and was named player of the tournament.
      Since signing a five year contract for PSG he has since made 72 appearances for the club – winning two Ligue 1 titles.
      Born in Naples, Donnarumma also plays for Italy – and in 2016 became the youngest goalkeeper to ever compete for the country at just 17 years and 189 days.

      I was ‘raped’ by Premier League star when I was a teen – he FILMED it & showed pals.. I keep seeing his face on TV

      by

      A WOMAN has claimed she was raped by a Premier League star as a teen in a bombshell interview.The alleged victim – who has not been named – says she was 19 when the footballer “attacked” her in her own bedroom during a house party eight years ago.

      The woman said the footballer probably wouldn’t remember her ‘if we walked past each other’
      She told The Daily Mail the footballer, who she had never met before the party, probably wouldn’t remember her “if we walked past each other” – but the memory of that night is seared into her mind.
      The woman says she was “unable to move” during the alleged assault.
      She said: “The next thing I remember is my housemate back at my room, banging on the door, asking, ‘What’s going on?'”
      She claimed the footballer filmed the horrifying attack – and that footage was allegedly already circulating among guests.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      However, she admits that she has not seen the film herself and does not know if it still exists.
      The woman said she had never met the player before and they have not met since – but she has not reported the attack to the police or her parents.
      She speculated that her drink may have been spiked, but insists she was not just drunk and never consented to the sex, saying there was “no way” she was intoxicated enough to not remember.
      Finally, she alleges that the player – who is now signed to a Prem team – returned to her house in the early hours and banged on the locked door, as well as texting her incessantly.
      Most read in Football
      She is scared of reporting the case given the low prosecution rate for rape, especially so long after the attack allegedly took place, the Mail reports.
      The woman said: “Honestly, why would I consider the police when I know how incredibly difficult it is to even get it through the Crown Prosecution Service?
      “If it gets to court, you are completely annihilated by a lawyer who makes you feel worthless.
      “The system isn’t there to protect victims of sexual violence. What other crimes do you report and you’re instantly accused of lying?”
      And her pain is only deepened by the fact that she sees his face on TV regularly while watching football with her partner.
      She now faces either reliving her experience each time he appears or giving up watching a sport she loves. More

      by

      A FORMER Premier League footballer is facing jail after he punched a 60-year-old woman and left her covered in blood following a nightclub row.Marcus Maddison insulted the victim’s daughter before launching the brutal assault which left the older woman unable to speak due to her facial injuries.

      The attack happened after the ex-pro – who rose through the youth ranks at Newcastle United – left The Gate nightclub in Darlington in the early hours of September 25 last year.
      Teesside Crown Court has now heard how he got into a row with two women for apparently jumping the queue in a kebab shop close to the nightclub in County Durham.
      Prosecutor Robin Turton told how Maddison threatened: “You come near me and I’m going to pelt these cheesy chips at you.”
      Mr Turton added: “As the defendant threw the chips he fell backwards and he punched the victim with his right clenched fist.

      “There was a steady stream of blood coming from what appeared to be a broken nose. She was unable to speak due to her injuries.
      “The victim was taken to hospital and a CT scan revealed complex midfacial bone fractures.
      “She reported that she continues to suffer numbness to the teeth, diminished sense of taste and smell and is now reluctant to go out on her own.”
      Maddison was arrested and later pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm.
      Most read in Football
      He now faces sentencing on August 8.
      The judge, Mr Recorder Paul Reid, extended his unconditional bail while an updated victim impact statement is prepared and a medical carried out on the victim.
      The 29-year-old midfielder scored 52 goals in more than 200 appearances during a six-year stint at League One side Peterborough United.
      He also played for former Premier League sides Hull City, Charlton Athletic and Bolton Wanderers.
      He also won two caps in 2014 for England C, the team representing the country for non-league level footballers.
      Maddison signed for National League North club Darlington in June last year but had his contract ripped up days after the assault.
      Darlington FC said: “The club were made aware of an alleged incident and conducted an immediate disciplinary investigation.
      “After discussions with the player concerned, the club agreed to mutually terminate his contract with immediate effect at that time.
      “Darlington FC is a fan-owned club and has a zero tolerance towards discrimination, violence of abusive behaviour.
      “It would be inappropriate for Darlington FC to comment further at this time.”

      Maddison took time off from football in March 2001 for mental health reasons, having played ten matches for Bolton on their way to promotion from League Two.
      Speaking a year later, he said: “Things didn’t go well at Bolton and, headspace, I just wasn’t in the right way to play football anymore.” More

      Adin Ross asks for ‘threesome’ sparring session with Andrew Tate and Jake Paul in Brit influencer’s Romania compound

      by

      STREAMING star Adin Ross has revealed he wants a “threesome” sparring session alongside Andrew Tate and Jake Paul.The three influencers are avid boxers, and it seems Tate’s ongoing criminal charges are not getting in the way of his boxing “career”.
      The odd suggestion was made on a three way stream between the menCredit: Twitter

      The influencers have collaborated together before, with Paul facing off against Tate in the ring before his arrest last November.
      Ross, who was hit with another Twitch ban earlier this year, suggested in a recent stream between the three men that Jake and Tate should have a sparring match.
      He then said: “You know what? I’ll spar, too, with you guys.
      “F*** it. Jake, let’s just go to Romania. We’ll go fifty-fifty on a jet, we’ll go to Romania, Jake, and we’ll spar.

      “We could do a threesome spar. I’m with it.”
      Tate didn’t seem too keen with the phrasing of the “threesome” spar, however, and said: “Why do you make everything sound weird?”
      One Twitter user said: “Why does Jake Paul think anyone wants to pay to watch him spar?”
      Another said: “Giving the people what they want for free!”

      Ross has faced controversy over his continued support of Tate, as the Romania-based former kick boxer faces house arrest.
      But if Ross’s proposed match goes ahead, it would have to take place in Tate’s Romanian compound, where he remains under house arrest.
      Tate is being held on house arrest in Romania over charges of rape, human trafficking, and organised crime.
      He bragged that he ran a webcam sex girl business which brought in “$600,000 a month” through fleecing lonely men.
      Andrew Tate had his house arrest extended for a further 30 days on Tuesday.
      The disgraced influencer took to Twitter to rant after the decision.
      He wrote: “After 93 days being locked in a Romanian dungeon, I am now entering my 5th month locked in my house.
      “A judge decided this morning that my detention must continue. The war rages on.”
      Under Romanian law, trafficking of adults carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
      Ross himself is aiming to begin a career in boxing, but was trolled online for his fighting style.

      Mendy has signed a two-year deal with the French club just days after he was cleared of rape and attempted rape.
      “Lorient are happy to announce today the signing on a two-year deal of the French international left-back Benjamin Mendy,” FC Lorient said in a statement.
      The 29-year-old could also return to the UK on August 5 to face AFC Bournemouth in a friendly at the Vitality Stadium.
      Lorient moved to sign the former Monaco and Marseille defender a month ago, according to Le Parisien.

      Mendy was cleared of sex offences last week, ending a three-year court process.
      The player had previously being cleared in January of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault following a six-month trial.
      But jurors in that trial had been unable to reach a verdict on two other counts, triggering the retrial that ended last week.
      Mendy, whose contract with English and European champions Man City expired at the end of June, had denied all the charges against him.

      The French former Manchester City defender has signed for a new club who are about to take on English opponents.
      Mendy, 29, today joined Lorient, who play in France’s top-flight Ligue 1.

      Lorient are due to take on Bournemouth at the Dorset side’s Vitality Stadium on August 5.

      Mendy left Man City by mutual consent last month at the expiration of his contract, having not played for the Premier League and Champions League winners since 2021.
      The footballer was cleared of rape and attempted rape last week.
      He smiled for the camera just hours after a jury cleared him of attempting to rape a woman aged 29 as she showered at his home in October 2018.
      He was also found not guilty of raping a 24-year-old woman in his bedroom at his £4.8million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, two years later.

      Mendy had last played for City against Tottenham Hotspur in August 2021 before being suspended by the club later that month when he was arrested.
      Lorient finished 10th in France last season, while Bournemouth came 15th in the Premier League under manager Gary O’Neil – but he was replaced last month by Spain’s Andoni Iraola.
      Mendy’s new team-mates at Lorient include ex-Arsenal and Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone and midfielder Roman Faivre, who is on loan from Bournemouth.

      Mason Greenwood should QUIT Man Utd to get his career back on track, Wayne Rooney says

      MASON Greenwood should quit Man Utd to get his career back on track, Wayne Rooney says. The striker, 21, has not played since January last year when he was arrested after allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

      It comes after reports said Greenwood’s football future was in ‘tatters’Credit: AFP
      Greenwood is still suspended by United, despite charges including attempted rape being dropped against him.
      The 21-year-old was recently pictured at a private training session with teammate Anthony Elanga but it was last night revealed there were fears his career was “in tatters”.
      Rooney has now said he thinks Greenwood should walk away from the club to try to salvage his future in football.
      The Manchester United legend, who is in charge of DC United, told The Athletic: “It leaves Mason Greenwood in a position where he is stuck.

      “So for Mason, it’s a bad position to be in because I’m sure he just wants to play football.
      “But for the club, its image and ensuring they make the right decisions, it’s almost a catch 22.
      “I think the best thing for Mason now is to get out of the club and go and develop somewhere else.”
      Rooney added that he thought the 21-year-old needed to get back on the field as it had been a long time since he played.
      Most read in Football
      He continued: “With everything that has happened and how long the internal investigation has taken, it’s probably got to a place now where Mason just needs to go and play and to try and get his career back on track.
      “It’s a difficult position for Mason but for the club as well. You have to make sure you get to the right decision before moving forward and it looks like they’re really struggling to get to that place.”
      It was last night revealed by The Athletic that Greenwood is not in the squad for the club’s pre-season tour.
      It came after Greenwood was reportedly being used as a pawn by Man United to net a striker rumoured to be worth £50m.
      Serie A club Atalanta are interested in signing the forward on loan, according to Manchester Evening News.
      Manchester United football director John Murtough has reportedly held talks with the Italian side as part of a deal to sign Rasmus Hojlund.
      The Danish striker scored nine goals in 32 games last season and is one of United’s targets this summer.
      The Red Devils believe they can net 20-year-old Hojlund for around £50 million, the Telegraph reported.
      But sources close to Atalanta played down the prospect of a move for Greenwood – with Manchester United not proactively exploring other loan options, The Athletic reports.
      Greenwood has not played since January last year when he was arrested after a woman made allegations against him on social media.

      He was due to stand trial in November accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      The charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service. More
