Hero To Headlines: Sports Stars Whose Drama Engulfed Their Public Lives

Darren - July 6, 2023

Wayne Rooney

Rooney rose to superstardom at an early age after breaking into the Premier League at the age of 16. But this may have gone to his head because he had many scandals involving prostitutes. The worst part of this was that he was in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Coleen. Remarkably, she continues to live with him today.

The former Manchester United star visited a Liverpool brothel at least 10 times. He had an encounter with a rubber-suited 47-year-old granny amongst other women. 10 years later he had another threesome with some hookers and betrayed Coleen again. The Scouser allegedly has a big problem and needs to face it (via The Mirror).

Jimmy Garoppolo

Jimmy G. is one of the most handsome NFL quarterbacks ever. The former Niners starter joined the Raiders in 2023 and has enjoyed a successful career. He also attracts some of the most beautiful women in the world. However, he raised eyebrows when he went on a public date with adult film actress Kiara Mia (via Daily Beast).

Some analysts said that he should show more class and better values as an NFL quarterback. They disparaged Mia and sneered at Garoppolo as they shamed the porn industry. Later, Mia claimed that Garoppolo was a gentleman and treated her very well. That’s better than many NFL stars who cheat on their partners or even physically abuse them.

Brett Favre

There was a time when Favre was one of the most respected athletes in the U.S. But that’s no longer the case after multiple high-profile scandals that tarnished his reputation. The former Packers quarterback lost credibility after he allegedly sent unsolicited nudes to former Jets hostess Jenn Sterger. In the end, the NFL fined him because he didn’t cooperate with their investigation.

But an even bigger scandal emerged in 2023 after he allegedly ripped off the state of Mississippi. He allegedly received welfare money for multiple projects in one of the worst corruption cases in modern U.S. history. We expect athletes to live clean-cut public lives but that’s simply not Favre’s existence (via CBS Sports).

Conor McGregor – Part II

Superstars face an uncomfortable reality because everything they do can leak into their public lives. One issue is that everybody has a camera phone and records all of the drama they see. McGregor experienced this when he punched an older man in a Dublin pub. The reason was that the man rejected a shot of the UFC fighter’s whiskey.

McGregor reacted badly to this in a moment of lunacy. Later he apologized but he didn’t care that much because he bought the pub and banned his victim from entering. This is one of the most petty revenges in the history of the world. In the end, McGregor moved on and it became a part of his notorious legend (via Sportskeeda).

Deebo Samuel

Samuel was one of the best players in the NFL in 2021. However, the Pro Bowler joined the ranks of cheating athletes when a young woman shared a photo of him in her Instagram Close Friends story. One of the connections screen-shot the intimate image and shared it online (via Side Action).

The young woman said: “I was told he was single. I’m not a home wrecker and I was not aware, I would never post a taken man when I got cheated on for 4 years. I wasn’t even the one that recorded the video, I thought it was cute, I didn’t know half of what I found out today. It is what it is.”

Ryan Giggs

Giggs is one of the most immoral soccer players in history because he betrayed two of the closest people in his life. That’s right, he betrayed his wife and his brother as he stooped to a new low. The Manchester United star had a long-running affair with his brother Rhodri’s wife, Natasha (via National World).

They secretly met regularly for eight years as they humiliated their partners. Unsurprisingly, Rhodri and Ryan became estranged after the latter ruined their public lives. But Giggs’ wife, Natasha, stayed with him until 2017 after he cheated on her again with multiple partners. Later, the Wales national team fired him after he allegedly committed domestic violence.

Ja Morant

It’s unfortunate when athletes’ private antics affect their public lives. That became Morant’s reality in 2023 as he showed a penchant for waving firearms around. The NBA doesn’t like it when its stars flaunt guns because it puts its advertisers on edge. The Memphis star had multiple firearm-related incidents as he brandished his weapons online.

We should note that technically Morant didn’t break any laws in Tennessee where he filmed the videos. But he went against the NBA’s code of conduct and they don’t take kindly to this. Furthermore, many people became concerned about Morant’s mental health. It was a distressing state of affairs because he went through a difficult time (via TMZ).

Zion Williamson

Everything looked rosy for Williamson and his pregnant girlfriend Ahkeema when they shared their baby’s gender reveal on Instagram. But then OnlyFans model Moriah Mills unleashed a napalm-like wave of sensational news. She alleged that she had an affair with the Pelicans’ star and said that her period was also late.

Mills wrote: “Zion Williamson looks like you been had a girlfriend and sleeping with other women behind my back. Better pray I’m not pregnant too because I’m definitely late.” It’s important to note that Williamson denied the allegations but this drama threatens to ruin his family’s public lives (via The Sports Rush).
