Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has apologized to his wife and club after
a British tabloid newspaper, The Sun, alleged that he had an
extra-marital
affair and published a proof to their story.
The story first surfaced on Sunday last week and in their report, The
Sun claimed Giroud had spent a night in a hotel with lingerie model
Celia
Kay. The late-night rendezvous with Kay occurred less than 12 hours
before
Arsenal’s game against Crystal Palace kicked off — a breach of the
club’s curfew.
Almost immediately, Olivier denied that Kay had visited his room when
asked by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. He even took legal advice over
the Sun story. The Sun, however, followed up the story on Sunday with
this photograph
of Giroud, apparently exiting the bathroom of his hotel room in only his
underwear.

That was when Olivier changed his story and took to Twitter to ask for "forgiveness" on
Sunday, hours before Arsenal's 2-1 win over Liverpool in the fifth round
of the FA Cup. See tweets below.
Only Kay and Giroud know what actually happened that
night. But Kay says she and Giroud didn’t have sex that night after
reports that Arsenal plans to fine Giroud, reportedly around
£200,000-£230,000 ($334,100-$384,200), for his transgression.
She did, however,
take a photo of the Frenchman in his underwear and pictures of her in his hotel room which she shared with
The Sun newspaper last weekend.
Giroud, 27, is married to his wife Jennifer, and they have a lil baby,
born last year in June, together. After the news of her hubby cheating
on her went viral, Jennifer was forced to close her Twitter account
after a whole lot of people bombarded her with replies, mentions and
advice.
