Mauro Icardi, the renowned Argentine striker and spearhead of Galatasaray’s attack, has once again found himself at the epicenter of a sensational drama, this time far from the football pitch. The virtual battlefield unfolded on Instagram, where Uruguayan model Natasha Rey publicly accused the forward of sending inappropriate private messages and posted intimate content she claims to have received from him. The story quickly spilled beyond social media and now threatens to escalate into legal proceedings involving the footballer’s former wife, Wanda Nara.
“Micropenis” and a Quickly Deleted Video: What Natasha Rey Published
The model displayed screenshots of their chat, accompanied by the provocative remark that she would “show your micropenis.” The main blow to his reputation came from a short erotic clip that Rey soon deleted, but the internet reacted even faster—the footage spread across fan chats and sports pages as swiftly as a 90th‑minute counterattack in a derby.
Mauro’s Counter‑Press: The Forward Presents His Evidence
The star forward quickly dropped into defense and published his own screenshot: the thread indeed shows a nude‑breast photo sent by Rey in 2023, yet no messages from Mauro appear. “Is this my ‘lover’? Hilarious. I never replied to her provocations,” the goalscorer noted, adding that he keeps a full archive of their correspondence and is ready to produce it. The former Inter captain insists all accusations are fabricated for hype and to damage his current relationship.
From Offside Straight to Court: The Revenge‑Porn Case and Wanda Nara’s Role
According to news agency Adnkronos, Icardi has instructed his Italian lawyers to initiate criminal proceedings under the “revenge porn” statute. The player claims that an intimate video recorded during their marriage surfaced online through Wanda Nara—his ex‑wife, now a media manager and mother of his children. He contends the publication was aimed at defaming him and wrecking his harmony with his new partner.
What’s Next: Reputational Risks and Possible Sanctions
Should the court classify the actions of Rey and Nara as revenge porn, they face hefty fines and even prison terms—European legislation in this area has grown more stringent. For Icardi, what is at stake is not only family peace but also his image in the eyes of fans and sponsors: the transfer window is open, and clubs are closely monitoring the media behavior of stars. The next whistle will sound not in a stadium but in a courtroom, where the credibility of each side’s “video‑assistant” evidence will be decided.
