Prem legend's ex-lover joins adult site ahead of his 'violent sex abuse' trial

Dimitri Payet's ex-lover has launched an adult page on the eve of her abuse trial against the former West Ham star.

Brazilian lawyer Larissa Natalya Ferrari, 28, alleges she was subjected to horrifying sexual and psychological abuse by the married ex-Premier League midfielder during their six-month affair.

Judges at Rio de Janeiro's VII Court of Domestic and Family Violence Against Women officially sanctioned Payet's upcoming trial at a hearing on July 25. He denies any wrongdoing and maintains his "innocence", saying photographs of alleged bruising on her body were caused by a sex session on hard wooden furniture.

Now it has emerged that Larissa has turned to adult platforms ahead of the trial, telling her 220,000 followers: "I gave in to temptation." One image leaving nothing to the imagination showed her dressed in a sheer black fishnet body stocking.

Some fans urged her to remove any racy content from the websites, with one warning: "Come on, Larissa, don't do that. Think about your children." But Larissa said she needed the work to pay her bills.

She said: "I opened the Privacy because, like everyone else I need to pay my bills. After everything that Dimitri did to me I couldn’t get back to work because I was using a a lot of controlled medication. I had my hands tied.

"But at least it’s a lawful activity. I need to pay for psychiatrists, psychologists, medicine, personal bills and everything for my children. But I'm not ashamed. I think it’s fair, I’m not stealing from anyone!”

Payet is now facing trial accused of physical and emotional abuse of Larissa during their fling, which ended five months ago. The mum-of-two accuses him of "physical, moral, psychological and sexual violence".

Larissa says the 38-year-old ex-France midfielder had forced her to make degrading films, drink her own urine and water from the lavatory and lick the floor clean.

Then to "prove her love" she had to take part in a fake wedding and wear a ring, she told prosecutors. Prosecutors are likely to produce grim photographs of bruising all over Larissa's body which she says were caused by Payet.

The trial will hear medical evidence that the player knew of Larissa's vulnerable emotional state and played on it to get her "to obey". Payet is said to have told Brazilian police everything between him and Larissa was consensual.

But she told police: "During sex, he started to hit me, step on my face, my body.

"I was afraid to say anything because I knew it was a punishment for my mistakes and if I didn't accept the punishment, I could lose him. So, yeah, I ended up accepting it."

Payet has four children with his wife of nearly 20 years, Ludivine, who remained in France after he joined Vasco da Gama in Rio de Janeiro in 2023.

Before that, he had six and a half years with Marseille, joining the French side for £25million following a successful 18-month run with West Ham.

His latest club Vasco ripped up his two-year contract in June, leaving Payet without a side.

They wrote on social media: "Vasco da Gama announces that, in a friendly manner, it has reached an agreement to terminate the contract with midfielder Dimitri Payet early.

"The club thanks the athlete for the professionalism, dedication and respect demonstrated throughout his time at Sao Januario, and wishes him success in his next challenges."
