Defiant Mario
Balotelli took a stand yesterday – as he told the world that he twice
bedded the hooker who famously had a threesome with Wayne Rooney.
The
21-year-old Manchester City striker decided to confess that he cheated on his
girlfriend by sleeping with vice girl Jenny Thompson at his £3million Cheshire
mansion rather than pay “hush money”.
He spoke out
as his lawyer, Vittorio Rigo, revealed that a woman, not Thompson, had offered
a “financial alternative” to details of his romp emerging – a deal which the
flamboyant Italian flatly rejected.
Instead
Balotelli, who has been dating Italian beauty Raffaella Fico since last summer,
insisted that he would prefer to “admit what has happened” and “deal with the
consequences”.
His agent,
Mino Raiola, said in a statement: “Mario is a young and impulsive football
player and as such he is an easy target for tabloids looking for stories and
people seeking to benefit from being associated with him.”
He added:
“Lately I feel that the chase has become more purposeful and women, in
particular, are targeting Mario looking to make money from him directly or by
selling stories to newspapers.
“In this
regard, we therefore wish to confirm that Mario has had a brief involvement
with Miss Jennifer Thompson, a well-known figure amongst tabloid readers in
England.
“Mario
prefers to admit what has happened, has refused any means on offer to try to
keep the matter silent and will deal with any consequences his actions bring in
the way of public attention.
“However, he
prefers to deal with his personal life in private and had told those close to
him about this situation prior to any suggestion of this matter becoming
public.”
Thompson has
told friends she had joined Mario at his luxury home while his girlfriend was
away, after they both attended his younger brother Enoch’s birthday party at a
Manchester nightclub.
She
confided: “When we were in his house and Mario asked me if I wanted to go to
the bedroom. He didn’t waste much time. Before I knew it we were in his bed and
having sex.”
One of her
pals told the Mirror that the pair first became friendly in the city’s upmarket
Zouk bar and Indian restaurant around the end of February, where Jenny swapped
BlackBerry Messenger contact details with one of the footballer’s friends.
Following
the birthday party, the friend claims Jenny joined several other people at
Mario’s mansion, adding: “He invited lots of people to keep on partying back at
his home.
“Jenny was
among a group that went back, and it was there that the two of them first got
intimate.
“It wasn’t
like with Rooney – no money changed hands, it wasn’t that sort of meeting, and
she left early next day.”
The friend
added they had another intimate moment around a week later, after Jenny went to
a nightclub in the city.
The friend
added: “Mario arrived at the end of the night in his white Bentley and took a
couple of friends, including Jenny, home. That was the second time they got
intimate – and she had no idea he had a girlfriend.
“The next
morning he began talking about his girlfriend, which was upsetting for her and
she left.”
Thompson
first hit the headlines shortly before England’s 2010 World Cup campaign. It
was revealed that she and another call girl romped with Manchester United star
Rooney – while Wayne’s wife Coleen was pregnant.
