Jérôme Boateng – “My son has been mistreating women for years,” his mother is said to have written

A report in the news magazine “Spiegel” quotes an email from Jérôme Boateng’s mother to a lawyer in which she complains about psychological and physical violence by her son against Kasia Lenhardt. The ex-national player remains silent about the allegations.

A media report quotes an email in which the mother of soccer world champion Jérôme Boateng confirms allegations of violence against her son.

According to its own statement, “Spiegel” has an email from Boateng’s mother dated March 25, 2021, in which she is said to have written to a Berlin lawyer: “My son has been abusing women mentally and physically for years, now Kasia Lenhardt has taken his own life he still doesn’t want to face the consequences for his behavior.”

Boateng’s lawyer explained to “Spiegel” in March 2024: “Due to ongoing proceedings, it is currently not possible for our client to respond to your questions in detail.

Therefore, fundamentally: You are simply misinformed to a large extent; In addition, they are apparently only provided with selective information.” Your client also attaches importance to the statement that he “never physically attacked” Kasia Lenhardt. Boateng also did not comment on his own mother’s statement.

Kasia Lenhardt, Boateng’s ex-girlfriend, took her own life in February 2021. A lengthy and complex legal dispute is ongoing in several instances over the footballer’s behavior.
