The protective measure requested by Larissa Ferrari against Dimitri Payet rejected by the Brazilian courts

Accused of physical, psychological, and sexual violence by 28-year-old lawyer Larissa Ferrari, Dimitri Payet was ordered by the Brazilian courts to refrain from approaching or contacting the alleged victim. The young woman requested this measure because she claimed to fear for her physical safety. She claims to have had a relationship with the Frenchman since August 2024 that had become "abusive and toxic." The courts in Rio de Janeiro and Parana, where she filed the complaint, ultimately rejected the protective measure.

The young woman, who says she suffers from "a personality disorder characterized by hypersensitivity," claims that Payet took advantage of her fragility to "engage in emotional blackmail and gain bizarre sexual favors." On April 16, the day after a match against Ceara (1-1), during which he injured his knee , Dimitri Payet (38 years old) was questioned by the DEAM of Jacarepagua, the Police specialized in the protection of women. He admitted to the sexual practices and declared that they were consensual and proposed by Larissa Ferrari.

"Dimitri would never approach the applicant and would therefore pose no risk to her physical or emotional integrity."

Payet's defense team claims that the request for a protective measure is "useless because Dimitri would never approach the applicant and therefore poses no risk to her physical or emotional integrity." Faced with the refusal to grant her a protective measure, Larissa Ferrari's defense team has decided to appeal.

On the sporting front, the former Marseille player, whose contract with Vasco da Gama officially ended on May 5, has been extended until July 31, as planned upon his arrival in August 2023. In theory, he therefore still has 13 matches in all competitions to improve a record which since the start of 2025 stands at 17 matches (4 starts), for no goals and 3 assists.
