According to Agence France Presse (AFP), Ferrari filed a case with authorities in Rio de Janeiro, claiming she was subjected to humiliating abuse by Payet during the time she was allegedly his 'mistress'.
Payet, who now plays for Brazilian side Vasco da Gama, is believed to be married, though his wife resides in France.
It is reported that the relationship began after his move to South America, with the pair meeting on Instagram and beginning to date.
Ferrari, a lawyer, alleges the abuse began in December 2024 after a dispute about match tickets. She claims Payet then warned her that he would begin punishing her.
Ferrari told AFP: “I was attacked by Dimitri Payet, and this has left marks on my body. I have suffered physical, moral, psychological and sexual violence. We had our first dispute in December, and he began saying he would punish me.
"He asked me to prove my love for him in humiliating ways – by drinking my own urine, licking the floor and drinking water from a toilet. He filmed me doing these things.
"He pushed me about, walked over me and made veiled threats. I want justice to be done. He abused my mental vulnerability to take sexual advantage of me. I am a lawyer, and I would never make such serious accusations lightly."
Brazilian police have confirmed that an investigation is underway after the case was filed on 29 March 2025.
