At 34, Adil Rami already has a few turbulent years behind him. In football, but not only. While he is publishing a book retracing his journey (Autopsy, Hugo Sport), the former player of OM and the Blues granted this Wednesday a long interview to the Figaro. To come back to some of his weaknesses, including women, an area where he admits “having been the jerk”.
“At the start of my career, I wanted to ‘nab’ girls every weekend, I played with this image of a playboy, confesses the defender. But age and maturity made me say stop. is one of the mistakes young people should not make, but it is very difficult because you are entering a world full of temptations. “
“I would go on until 6 am with girls who were fighting for me”
And Rami cites a few examples: “When you arrive in a box with the label of the footballer who earns money, you have a dozen girls at your table who are there only to empty your bottles (…) In 2017, during a week between the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and then in Los Angeles, I was no longer touching the ground. With my little mustache and my crappy English accent, people adored me at ‘hip’ parties. . I would go on until 6 o’clock in the morning with girls who fought for me. It was big nonsense. “
The world champion also evokes a special relationship, and very publicized: that with Pamela Anderson. Which ended with accusations of violence against her … “I know what she wanted to do by accusing me of that, retorts Rami. (…) She wanted to smash me, especially on my collaboration with the association for the defense of battered women. She never lodged a complaint because none of this happened. For two years I suffered, people lied about me. I have videos and photos that can disprove what she said. It’s in the past now and I don’t want to be associated with her anymore. That’s why I didn’t file a complaint. It’s a lesson. “
