Benjamin Mendy recently trended as the French soccer player claimed in court to have slept with over 10,000 women. In November 2020, authorities arrested the French professional soccer player who plays as a left-back for Premier League club Manchester City, on suspicion of four counts of r*pe and one count of sexual assault.
Subsequently, he faced charges of eight counts of r*pe, one count of attempted r*pe, and one count of sexual assault involving seven different women.

The charges against Mendy originated from allegations accusing him of r*ping and sexually assaulting women at his home in Cheshire, England, between 2018 and 2021. Mendy denied all the charges leveled against him.
In January 2023, the court found Mendy not guilty of six of the charges against him. However, the jury could not reach a verdict on the remaining two charges, leading to the scheduling of a retrial for June 2023.
In the June hearing, Mendy made the claim that he has slept with over 10,000 women. This statement bewildered the jury and has since been circulating widely on the internet.
The controversy surrounding Mendy has had a significant impact on his career. Manchester City suspended him in August 2021. If the remaining charges against him are proven to be true, he faces a lengthy ban from soccer.

Back then, Claudia was 22 years old and had been working as a model in Europe. Mendy’s dating history has remained largely undisclosed, with limited concrete information available.
