Kylian Mbappe called out senator for racist remarks
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) July 6, 2026
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà… pic.twitter.com/EnYmgQXvPL
Mbappe took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the senator of Paraguay, Amarilla, over her racist remarks against him. As per the English translation, he wrote, “Madame Celeste Amarilla, You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position. You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition.”
He further stated that her “recklessness” and “brazen racism” had shifted attention away from the team’s hard work and achievements throughout its World Cup journey. He called her an “incompetent woman” whom he believes has put her own country in a bad light. “I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world,” he concluded.
This jab comes after Amarilla shared a lengthy post on X aimed at the French captain. She wrote, “That idiot didn’t even learn to write. Instead of drinking mother’s milk, he was sucking on coconuts.” She further called him a “colonized Cameroonian who was desperately trying to pass himself off as French.” She claimed that Paraguay’s players should have slapped him following the match, which led to her country’s elimination from the World Cup.
Additionally, she described Mbappe as ” resentful, arrogant, and ugly.” She penned that Mbappe appeared “nervous” and “scared” throughout the match. Questioning the France team’s abilities and suggesting that its victory was not hard-earned, she added, “They couldn’t score a single goal, and they won by the skin of their teeth.”
