Dutch forward Memphis Depay is once again in the spotlight for off-field controversy after Brazilian influencer Lary Simoes claimed that the Corinthians striker abruptly cut off contact with her upon learning she was pregnant.
The revelation was made through Brazilian showbiz journalist Fabia Oliveira in Metropoles, one of Brazil’s leading entertainment publications.
According to the report, Memphis and Lary had been seeing each other since February 2025, but their relationship soured after she discovered she was expecting a child.
Lary reportedly informed the former Barcelona and Lyon attacker about the pregnancy a month ago, but his reaction was far from supportive.
The influencer provided Metropoles with photographic evidence of their relationship, including pictures of her with Memphis at his house and one showing her wearing a Corinthians jersey with Depay’s name on the back.
She also shared an image of a positive pregnancy test as proof of her claims.
Lary told Metropoles: “So far, he hasn’t even found a lawyer who can address any problems or doubts. Nothing!”
Reports suggest Memphis has completely distanced himself, refusing to discuss the situation or acknowledge her pregnancy - a move that has sparked outrage among Lary’s close friends and followers online.
This controversy comes only weeks after the Dutch-Ghanaian man faced criticism for showing support for the son of a notorious gang leader, further intensifying scrutiny around his life in Brazil since joining Corinthians.
