A top footballer is in hot water after his alleged mistress filmed herself in his family home before posting the clip online and going viral.

The clip, which had nearly a million views on X (formerly Twitter) alone at the time of writing, allegedly shows the woman filming herself in the home of Victor Cantillo, 29, a Colombian footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Brazilian Serie A club Corinthians.

The woman, named as Monaliny Soares, a Brazilian DJ, reportedly posted the footage online claiming to be his lover.

The footage shows her filming a number of items in the home while wearing a pink dressing gown and holding what appears to be a glass of wine.

She can be seen filming trophies and family photos, some apparently showing Cantillo and his wife. The DJ recently told local media that the player's wife "was travelling", adding: "So Victor and I stayed there in her apartment."

Cantillo has since hit back after the footage went viral online and made headlines in Brazilian media, saying: "In the last few hours, information has emerged that aims to harm the stability of myself, my wife, and children. I categorically reject this intention and request respect for the privacy of my home."

He also claimed the footage was "old", saying: "After the repercussion of an old video circulating on social media, my family and I will keep our personal matters private, without exposure. I am focused and centred on this decisive moment for the team."
