"A French Person Would Never Have Done that" - Celeste Amarilla Continues Attack on Kylian Mbappe with Fresh Claim After FIFA World Cup Drama

Amarilla accused Mbappé of refusing a postmatch handshake and warned of legal action after Paraguay's 1-0 loss, escalating the dispute in the Senate.

  • Following France's 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup, a bitter controversy erupted between Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla and French star Kylian Mbappé on the Senate floor this Wednesday.
  • Senator Amarilla criticized Mbappé for allegedly refusing to shake hands with goalkeeper Orlando Gill after the match, claiming the French forward instead shouted directly in the young player's face.
  • After Mbappé reportedly called her a "despicable woman and unworthy of her office," Amarilla retaliated on the Senate floor, calling him a "son of a b****" and threatening legal action for gender violence.
  • French head coach Didier Deschamps brushed off the controversy amid the media storm, stating that Mbappé remains mentally focused and fully prepared for France's upcoming quarter-final match against Morocco.
  • Amarilla, of the Authentic Radical Liberal Party, argued that Mbappé's actions contradict France's democratic legacy, citing thinkers like Rousseau and Victor Hugo, while claiming racist insults were directed at Paraguay following the defeat.
