Luis Figo’s Outrage at Claudia Bavel
On February 28, Claudia Bavel appeared once again on the television program ‘¡De viernes!’ to discuss her life. The OnlyFans model and adult film actress initially gained media attention after photos surfaced of her encounter with former Real Madrid and Spanish national team goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
She later revealed private conversations with Joaquín Sánchez, the former Real Betis player, and on Friday’s episode, the show featured a surprise: Joaquín’s brother-in-law confirmed all of the former footballer’s alleged infidelities. However, it was her comments about Luís Figo that truly grabbed attention. According to Bavel, she met the Portuguese legend at an event in Barcelona, where Iker Casillas introduced them.
Claudia Bavel’s Statements
During the interview, host Bea Archidona asked, “At that event, you were introduced to Míchel Salgado and Luís Figo, right? Which one of the two? I mean, you’ve mentioned this before, that you were introduced to both teammates.”
Bavel avoided confirming anything and changed the topic, instead revealing another well-known name: “Well, Vinicius talks to me a lot. I met him personally in Barcelona, but everything has been purely cordial. Nothing happened between us.”
Luís Figo’s Firm Response
Being very active on social media, it was no surprise that Luís Figo responded to Bavel’s statements—though his reaction was particularly intense.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Figo expressed his outrage: “What kind of trash is this?” He accompanied his post with a clip from the Friday night program. “People should wash their mouths before speaking about me!” he continued, before announcing that he would be “taking legal action” against what he deemed “defamatory” claims.
Figo has been married for over 20 years to Swedish model Helen Svedin, and they share three daughters: Daniela (25), Martina (22), and Stella (20).
As expected, social media exploded with reactions to the controversy. While some mocked the situation, others speculated about Figo’s past, even jokingly recalling his Just Eat commercial where he ordered roasted suckling pig.
Meanwhile, Claudia Bavel made her first public statements this morning from Atocha Station: “I’m doing fine. It all depends on whether my ex-friends keep leaking things. Let’s see if Spain falls apart,” she said with a laugh.
