French football star Kylian Mbappé has vehemently denied allegations of rape following reports in Swedish media that connected him to an incident at a Stockholm hotel on October 10, 2024. Swedish authorities confirmed that an investigation is underway, but they have not identified any suspects. Despite this, multiple Swedish outlets have pointed to Mbappé as the subject of the probe.
The Real Madrid forward, however, dismissed the claims as a “slanderous rumor” and labeled the reports as “Fake News” in a statement. His lawyer has affirmed that Mbappé has “done nothing wrong” and expressed confidence that he will cooperate with the authorities if needed. The timing of the allegations has led Mbappé to speculate that they may be linked to his ongoing legal dispute with Paris Saint-Germain over unpaid wages.
