One of the reasons given for Dimitri Payet wishing to go back to Marseille was the fact that his wife hated life in England and had gone back to live on Marseille. It was hinted that there were relationship difficulties and the only way for Payet to save his marriage was to return from whence he came.
All media outlets swallowed this as if it were the gospel truth. The trouble is, it was bollocks, or as we know it as nowadays, spin. Or fake news, put about by an unscrupulous agent who thought it would encourage us all to have some personal sympathy with his traitorous client.
It is a fact – and I have witnesses – that Dimitri Payet’s wife is still in England and has been all along. She’s still living at their home in Chigwell and according to locals, seems perfectly happy there. It is a lie that she has packed her bags and skidaddled back to France.
Delighted to set the record straight.
