Brazilian football star Neymar is facing a lawsuit from a former personal chef who claims she suffered injuries after being forced to work gruelling 16-hour shifts.
The ex-employee alleges that the intense workload while working for the footballer led to physical strain and health problems. She is now seeking £37,500 in compensation for the injuries and hardship she claims to have endured.
According to reports, the chef argues that the long hours and demanding conditions negatively affected her health, prompting her to take legal action against the football star.
The case has drawn public attention due to Neymar’s global profile and the nature of the allegations involving working conditions.
Neymar or his representatives have yet to publicly respond to the claims as the legal proceedings continue.
