Larissa Ferrari Reveals Scars
Lawyer Larissa Ferrari, the former girlfriend of French footballer Dimitri Payet, has come forward with graphic images of bruises and emotional testimony, accusing the Vasco da Gama player of physical and psychological abuse during what she described as a degrading and traumatic relationship.
Appearing in tears on social media on Thursday the 10th of April, 2025, Ferrari detailed disturbing aspects of her time with Payet, saying she was “constantly humiliated and punished” whenever he became jealous. “Why did I believe I didn’t deserve to be loved, that I deserved to be punished and humiliated?” she said in an emotional video posted to her Instagram account. “It hurts me, it shames me.”
Accompanying her testimony, Ferrari shared photos showing bruises on her legs, arms, and buttocks, which she alleges were the result of violent acts by the footballer. She claims Payet stepped on her face, legs, and body, and used aggression as a form of control within their relationship. “He felt pleasure in doing that,” she said.
Two forensic examinations carried out in Paraná corroborated the presence of injuries. The first, conducted on April 1st, described “blunt force trauma” though it did not determine the specific cause. A follow-up on April 8th confirmed three visible scars: on Ferrari’s right leg, left thigh, and buttocks.
In one of the most disturbing revelations, Ferrari described being coerced into degrading acts. “He asked me to drink my own urine, get dirty, lick the floor, lick the toilet,” she said. “I even drank water from the toilet. I can’t believe I did it.”
Payet has denied all allegations of aggression, asserting that the relationship was entirely consensual and rooted in shared fetishes. In a statement, the player acknowledged a sadomasochistic dynamic with Ferrari and admitted to sexual encounters involving role-play, including one instance where she wore a bridal outfit. According to Payet, Ferrari willingly participated and even initiated extreme acts — including sending him a video in which she drank her own urine and placed her head in a toilet.
The player claimed the bruises in question were the result of consensual activities, such as being asked to slap her buttocks, and firmly rejected the accusation of abuse. “Their relationship was based on mutual agreement,” said his legal team, emphasizing that no non-consensual violence occurred.
Authorities in Paraná have launched an investigation into the case following the formal complaint. Meanwhile, the situation continues to unfold under intense public scrutiny as both parties present conflicting narratives of their controversial relationship.
Neither Payet nor his club, Vasco da Gama, has issued a formal public statement beyond the player’s denial. The case is expected to develop in the coming weeks as investigators assess the claims and supporting evidence.
