Paraguay Senator Celeste Amarilla has demanded an apology from France captain Kylian Mbappe and threatened legal action after he called her "despicable" over her earlier remarks about him. Amarilla admitted deleting her controversial post, saying she regretted its language, but accused Mbappe of arrogance, political and gender-based violence, and insisted he retract his comments.
Asuncion: Paraguay Senator Celeste Amarilla has demanded an apology from France captain Kylian Mbappe and threatened legal action, responding at length to the footballer's criticism following a controversy over her earlier remarks.
The controversy erupted after the Paraguayan Senator called Mbappe a "colonised Cameroonian" and "pretending hard to be French, resentful, newly rich, arrogant, and ugly". Amarilla also said that France "won by a fluke and Mbappe was nervous and scared to death the whole match, like his entire team."
Mbappe called her a "despicable woman" who is unworthy of her position."Another goal for Kylian Mbappe. Against racism this time. All my support. When words defile, our values respond: dignity, respect, fraternity. @KMbappe".
In a post shared on X, Amarilla said her disagreement was with Mbappe personally and not with France, describing her long-standing connection with the country.
