Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla reaches new low; calls Kylian Mbappe a "s** of a bitch"

XtraTime Newsdesk: Paraguayan Senator Celeste Amarilla stooped to an all-time low as she launched another ugly attack on France striker Kylian Mbappe.

The politician has been pursuing Mbappe since France's valiant 1-0 triumph over Paraguay in a FIFA World Cup play. When Mbappe allegedly referred to her as a "despicable woman and unworthy of her office," the conflict intensified. Amarilla responded by calling the French striker a "son of a b****" on the Senate floor this Wednesday. The one sided verbal sparring between the two reached a new low with this.

"When Orlando Gill, a boy who was surely setting foot in a World Cup for the first time, in Europe for the first time, was playing before the world and extends his hand with all the humility of a Paraguayan, and this son of a b---- refuses to shake his hand and yells in his face-that is not French. A Frenchman would never have done that," Amarilla stated.

The senator, who belongs to the Authentic Radical Liberal Party, also claimed that "serious racist insults" were made after Paraguay's defeat. In a further critique aimed at the striker, Amarilla said, "France is Rousseau, Descartes, Montesquieu, Victor Hugo, Simone de Beauvoir, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. I refuse to reduce all of that great France and that enormous cultural, artistic, and democratic legacy to Mbappe."

Previously, Amarilla had posted an open letter on her X (formerly Twitter) account, warning Mbappé of dire consequences if he did not apologize.

"Don't mess with Paraguayans, Mbappé," she warned, citing the case of Brazilian football icon Ronaldinho, who was jailed in Paraguay in March 2020. "We already had Ronaldinho jailed here... And don't underestimate me, Mbappé. I can sue you... Gender violence. Political violence against women. That is serious... Let him apologize to me because I still have legal grounds for that."

France coach Didier Deschamps, who attended the press conference ahead of the team's quarter-final match against Morocco, was asked about this off-the-field controversy. He said that Mbappe is unperturbed by the off-field chatter and totally focussed on the game.

"Kylian is in a good place mentally. He's ready for tomorrow," said Deschamps in the press conference on the eve of the quarter-final match.
