What happened between Thuram and Lavish?

Adult film star Charlotte Lavish has accused Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram of sexually assaulting her during his time at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

In a TikTok video, Lavish claimed she is coming forward publicly because she has no faith in the judicial system.

She alleged that the French international trapped her in a room while attempting to delete incriminating evidence from her device, per DailySports.

Lavish stated that the situation escalated physically, with Thuram allegedly dragging her by the ankle. Her screams reportedly alerted neighbors, prompting a police response.

She also claimed that Thuram was attracted to women who used illicit substances, as noted per Tribuna.
“He dragged me by my ankle... the neighbours heard it and called the police.”
“I don’t expect financial gain and believe nothing will happen to Thuram as a result.”

@AfamDeluxo said:

"She knew exactly what she was doing. It just didn’t play out the way she expected, and now she’s the one upset. Please, go and focus on your adult movies and leave the young man alone. Lucifer!"

"Lmaoo some women are so funny, you could easily see from their conversations she wanted the whole smoke and all for the gram. 😂😂… She had a plan and it didn’t work. Man was 10 steps ahead of her."

@captain_xplora added:

"Thuram should counter sue her. He’s lucky the Italian police is logical rather than emotional. If that was in England, they would have stopped him from playing football for those 3 years and his career would have been up in the flames."

"Who is this Barca agent of darkness?"
