Mendy says multiple Man City players attended his parties.

Last year, Benjamin Mendy faced some serious accusations that resulted in his suspension from Manchester City. He was charged with four counts of rape and the club decided not to pay his salary while he awaited trial. However, after being acquitted of all charges, Mendy has now taken City to a tribunal to claim his lost wages amounting to a whopping £11 million.

In a written statement, Mendy revealed that several Manchester City players, including the club captain, were present at the sex parties he attended and even hosted. He clarified that all activities were consensual and that alcohol was involved, along with a breach of Covid-19 restrictions. While he takes responsibility for his actions, he believes that it is unfair for the club to single him out when other players were also involved in similar behavior.

Mendy expressed his frustration at being falsely accused and publicly humiliated, while the other Manchester City players involved received no consequences. He joined FC Lorient after his contract with Man City ended in 2023, and he believes that the club is trying to paint a narrative that he was acting recklessly, leading to his arrest and subsequent trial.

During his suspension, Manchester City did not pay Mendy his £6 million salary for two years. This was because they considered him unavailable for work during his bail and trial. While he did not mention the names of the players involved, it is worth noting that Fernandinho was the captain during the initial police investigation. Vincent Kompany and David Silva were also club captains during Mendy's time at the Etihad, and the current captain is Kyle Walker.

Mendy wants to emphasize that he was not doing anything different from other first-team players at Manchester City. He feels that the club is trying to shift the blame onto him and portray him as reckless, leading to his arrest and false accusations. Despite being capped 10 times by France, he now plays for FC Lorient in the second tier of French football, having joined them on a free transfer after his Manchester City contract expired. He spent a total of six years at the Etihad, joining the club in 2017 from Monaco.
