‘You’re only here because of your t**s’ – Newcastle Wag and sports presenter Diletta Leotta opens up on sexist abuse

She told F Magazine: “The worst thing was: ‘You’re only here because of your t**s.’

“A colleague from Sky Sport told me how people were talking about me.

“I had just arrived, I was twenty years old: it hurt like crazy. At home that evening I let out a liberating cry.

“That brought out the lion in me, I learned a lot. I got my degree [in law] so that no one could ever say something like that to me again.”

Keeper Karius – who has had a string of glam girlfriends in the past – is believed to have met Diletta in Paris.

Karius – formerly of Liverpool – has been at Newcastle since 2022 but looks set to leave in the summer.

And it comes after Diletta – who he proposed to in February – called for him to LEAVE as she lives back home in Italy with their daughter.

She told Tuttosport: “Loris has people at his side who work for him. I live in Milan, so let’s say being close to Milan would be ideal for us.

“I always tell him, players who come to Serie A then fall in love with Italy and often stay there forever. I think that could happen to him too.

“[He should join] Monza or any other team in Italy. I would be happy if he came to Italy to play near his family.

“Newcastle is very inconvenient because there are no direct flights. Neither about Paris nor about Amsterdam.”

The couple are now engaged
