Footballer Adil Rami, 36, who split from Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, 54, in 2019, was forced to leave France due to gossip and being followed by paparazzi all the time.

He told L'Equipe: "The gossip has deceived people. I did not ask to be in it, but my girlfriend was an icon and many people were influenced by all that stuff. I got scared by all that paparazzi and I had to flee France."

Rami said big names also tried to end his football career. "I do not regret having played for Marseille, it is one of my greatest reasons for pride, but perhaps it was not the right time. When I left Marseille, influential people did everything to make me leave football," he remarked.
