Depay faces accusations of neglect
Brazilian journalist Fabia Oliveira claimed that Depay and Simoes had been seeing each other for about eight months.
According to the Sun, their relationship allegedly took a downturn after Simoes discovered she was pregnant in October.
People close to Simoes claimed that the former Manchester United and Barcelona star withdrew completely upon learning of the pregnancy. Oliveira said:
“According to people close to Lary, Memphis Depay didn’t react well to being told she was pregnant and has completely distanced himself from her since then.”
Simoes, who has over 50,000 Instagram followers, expressed her disappointment online, claiming that Depay has not responded to her messages since last month and has shown no willingness to take responsibility for the pregnancy.
The model also shared several photos online, including one showing Depay relaxing on a sofa in black shorts and a vest beside a woman.
Fans have since taken to social media to react, with opinions divided over the alleged incident between Depay and the Brazilian model. Legit.ng captured some of the reactions on X:
