Neymar has been accused of sexual harassment by a Nike employee

This would have been the reason that led the brand to break O'Ney's contract

Neymar has been accused of sexual harassment by a Nike employee This would have been the reason that led the brand to break O'Ney's contract

When Neymar made the transition from Nike to PUMA official between August and September, the sports world was left out of ink. The "switch of the century" had been defined by many, but for some hours the Wall Street Journal has reported what would be the real reason for the separation between the American brand and the Brazilian player of PSG, or rather the sexual assault against an employee. Nike reported that it "ended its partnership with the athlete because he refused to cooperate in an investigation into credible allegations of wrongdoing committed against an employee". At the conclusion of the note drawn up by the Swoosh management we read that "the investigation has not come to a conclusion". Accusations, therefore, of sexual harassment later lapsed but still undermine O'Ney's credibility.

A shock also for Neymar, who denies what happened and who communicates through his entourage that he will do everything to testify his innocence. The incident, according to what was written by the WSJ, would be in a hotel in New York, where the employee was to coordinate an activity planned by Nike with the involvement of the Brazilian. The story dates back to 2016 and according to the girl's story to some of her friends and colleagues, Neymar seems to have forced him into oral sex.
