While officials have yet to publicly confirm the name of the accused, Swedish media reports consistently identify Mbappé as the player involved.

The alleged incident reportedly took place at the Bank Hotel in Stockholm following a night of celebration at an upscale club, where Mbappé had been partying with friends. The French star, who had taken a personal break from national team duties, is said to have traveled to Sweden for leisure.

Club Real Madrid’s Controversial Response

Adding to the controversy, Real Madrid has fueled speculation by removing Mbappé from a promotional image for a campaign in collaboration with Adidas, aimed at raising awareness for underprivileged communities.

Real Madrid and Mbappé's teammate, Jude Bellingham, posted nearly identical images on social media. Fans were left wondering whether the club was distancing itself from Mbappé due to the allegations or if the move was an attempt to protect him from online backlash.

A competing theory points to sponsorship issues—Mbappé has a personal deal with Nike, while the promotional campaign belongs to Adidas. However, this rationale seems less likely, given that Eduardo Camavinga, also sponsored by Nike, remains in the campaign.

Allegations from Julia Franzen: Influencer Reveals Party Details

Amid the growing controversy, Julia Franzen, a Swedish influencer and television presenter, added fuel to the fire by revealing details about previous encounters with Mbappé at private parties. In an interview with the Swedish newspaper Expressen, Franzen claimed that she had attended events with Mbappé as far back as 2018, including one hosted by the French national team in Turin.

According to Franzen, participants at these gatherings were required to surrender their phones upon entry. She also alleged that only women with “good looks and friendly personalities” were invited.

Sweden’s Strict Consent Law in Focus

The seriousness of the allegations is heightened by Sweden’s progressive consent law, known as the “Samtyckeslagen” or "Consent Act", which came into effect on July 1, 2018. The law stipulates that explicit consent—either verbal or through clear actions—must be given by both parties before sexual activity takes place.

Under Swedish law, silence or the absence of resistance does not constitute consent.
If mutual willingness is not actively confirmed, the act can be classified as rape, regardless of whether force or violence was involved.

If the accusations are proven, Mbappé would face severe legal repercussions under this stringent framework.

Mbappé Responds to the Allegations

Mbappé has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them as “Fake News” in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter). The player, who has often avoided media controversies throughout his career, now finds himself at the center of intense public scrutiny.

A Career on the Brink?

The outcome of these allegations could have significant implications for Mbappé's reputation and future. Real Madrid’s recent actions suggest that the club is already grappling with how to manage the fallout. Whether this episode will have long-term consequences for his career remains uncertain, but it certainly casts a shadow over the French star’s carefully cultivated public image.

As the investigation unfolds, the focus will now shift to Sweden’s judicial process, which operates under a rigorous framework for sexual offense cases. The coming weeks will determine whether the brilliant career of Kylian Mbappé will face a devastating blow—or if he will successfully clear his name amid this scandal.
