Dimitri Payet has confirmed his ‘sadomasochism’ relationship with Larissa Ferrari but has denied any aggression towards her.

Dimitri Payet has confirmed his ‘sadomasochism’ relationship with Larissa Ferrari but has denied any aggression towards her. 

Payet has admitted they met on social media, acknowledged his fetishism and having had sexual relations with the complainant, dressed as a bride.  

According to the player, she asked him to "urinate" on him several times.  In January 2025, Larissa Ferrari sent him "a video in which she spontaneously drank her own urine and put her head in the toilet.”  

According to Payet, the practice of drinking urine was common within their relationship.  

In response to the accusations of "aggression" made by Larissa Ferrari, Payet nevertheless says that the lawyer “asked her to slap her buttocks, which left traces.” 

 He therefore firmly rejects these accusations against him and repeats that their relationship was consensual!
