In 2023, Brazilian forward Neymar joined Al Hilal from Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain. Last year he and Bruna Biancardi announced the birth of their daughter Mavie.
Recently, a video of his daughter’s birthday party surfaced on social media, where it appears that Neymar is playing online poker during the celebration. Fans flooded social media with posts criticizing his actions.
Here is a collection of their posts on X:
"Guy actually has a problem"
"You gotta respect the hustle"
"Neymar is pathetic," another fan chimed in.
"Not a good look"
"Bro is developing a gambling addiction," read another post.
"He’s legit addicted lol"
"Addicted"
In June 2023, the former Barcelona star issued a public apology to Bruna Biancardi after reports of him cheating on his pregnant girlfriend surfaced. He faced backlash from fans online back then as well.
The 32-year-old admitted it on social media and wrote:
"Bru, I have already apologized for my mistakes, for the useless exposure, but I feel obliged to reaffirm it publicly. If a private matter has gone public, the apology should be made public."
Last year, Canadian online streamer and former pro gamer, xQc, expressed outrage after he found Neymar gambling on stream using a website called Blaze.
