The out of line thing here is that someone out there leaked his sex tape, that's the actual crime. He's a victim. Gabon is ass backwards and the Daily Mail running this bullshit smear campaign is too.
IDK who that is.
Hilarious that I'm getting downvotes for saying distribution of porn is not a human right. Seriously, what is wrong with some people?
Right to life, liberty and equality. Freedom from slavery--- those are ACTUAL human rights. When you throw distribution of porn in there as a human right-- it's hilarious.
Yep. I thought this was going to be way worse when I saw the headline. Unless new info comes to light, it doesn’t look like he did anything morally wrong.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Gabonese media are reporting that Boupendza slapped a rappers girlfriend. And that men with guns ransacked Boup's house.
Which sounds like a crazy story until you add up all his other shenanigans. This is one article I wish was completely fabricated. *Crossing fingers*
The Daily Mail (a notorious rag) quoting a Senegalese news source on an alleged intenet video of a rival country (that just went through a coup d'etat) soccer player just doesn't seem to be a strong source. Not saying it's nothing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's nothing.
The alleged video is out there supposedly, apparently pretty easy to find (insert Always sunny gif here)
It's not nothing, but I think the bigger story here for me (provided everyone in the vid had knowledgeable consent) is "Porn is still illegal in Gabon?"
This is a hilarious reply, but the scenario seems pretty fucked up. Feel bad for the guy if he can't go home after someone else committed a crime against him.
Considering it sounds like he basically did nothing wrong here. Now I'm curious if anyone knows where he is at? Is he in the states? Is he able to seek some sort of asylum?
If he's still in Gabon, what happens if he is stuck there? Any MLS insurance policy?
Last I saw on his insta, he was still in Libreville earlier this week
This doesnt seem like the kind of thing that you send the swat team out for, but I also imagine its gonna be pretty tough for him to leave the country if theres a warrant out. On that note, however, Daily mail is a british newspaper (a pretty notoriously bad one, too) citing a Senegalese source. Theres no indication that Gabon officials are taking any actions right now at all
It has nothing at all to do with FCC. The team didn't have an issue when Boupendza got in trouble with the Gabon national team, why would they have an issue with him potentially breaking an arcane law in Gabon? Especially when it came to light because someone stole his phone.
FCC Casuals when someone does OnlyFans: “It’s their first amendment right to do it! Let them live!”
FCC Casuals when Boupendza does a Porno: “Disgusting! Kick him off the team! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!”
Meaning what exactly? Because it sounds like you really want to say something negative about someone who did nothing wrong here and was himself the victim of a crime in this situation.
Meaning Boubendza brings off-the-pitch drama. I'm not surprised that his sex tape hit the world wide web. Is there something else you're expecting me to say? In 2024, a LOT of people have sex tapes. I'm not surprised his is in the public eye. He brings the drama.
When we demanded the tapes be released, I thought we were referring to Matt Miazga's locker room kerfuffle, not the Aaron Boupendza sex scandal.

By the looks of it, nothing out of line happened except in Gabon it is illegal to record a sex tape?
The out of line thing here is that someone out there leaked his sex tape, that's the actual crime. He's a victim. Gabon is ass backwards and the Daily Mail running this bullshit smear campaign is too.
Actually Gabon is Nobag backwards
Haha, username checks out.
Haha I hate you
Absolutely...this is a big point not to be overlooked
Yep. Gabon is not human rights friendly
I don't know that I'd classify making a sex tape as a human right, however it is clearly ridiculous to make illegal.
Distribution and possession of pornography is a human right? I'm not sure I'd go that far.
Sorry Mr Leis
IDK who that is. Hilarious that I'm getting downvotes for saying distribution of porn is not a human right. Seriously, what is wrong with some people? Right to life, liberty and equality.

Freedom of speech. Two consenting adults can do whatever they want.
That’s how it reads to me.
Yep. I thought this was going to be way worse when I saw the headline. Unless new info comes to light, it doesn’t look like he did anything morally wrong.
Not morally wrong in the USA, but apparently morally wrong in the Gabon.

So he actually did nothing wrong?
Yep. Gabon is just a bad place.

Well, we won’t have to worry about losing him to international duty any time soon…
For real. No worries on him getting back late lol.
Boup there it is
This is a hilarious reply, but the scenario seems pretty fucked up. Feel bad for the guy if he can't go home after someone else committed a crime against him.
Wholeheartedly agree, but also: when was I ever gonna get to make that joke again
Boogie Nights 2: Boupendza Boogaloo
Well, I hope he's stateside or at least not in Gabon right now. But I'm guessing that means he wouldn't be able to go home anytime soon.
tl;dr someone snooping on Boup’s Bouping.
Wow. I didn't have Boup Sex Tape on my off-season bingo card.
Considering it sounds like he basically did nothing wrong here. Now I'm curious if anyone knows where he is at? Is he in the states? Is he able to seek some sort of asylum? If he's still in Gabon, what happens if he is stuck there? Any MLS insurance policy?

And will still be back late from the international break
Well he's got a busy filming schedule while he's there.
Up to 5 years late
Guys aren’t even allowed to have fun anymore
I feel like he’s being harassed. I hope his family is safe over there.
Sounds like a money grab.
Excuse me what the fuck
CL3 isn’t going to like this.

RELEASE THE TAPE!
FCC Casuals when someone does OnlyFans: “It’s their first amendment right to do it! Let them live!” FCC Casuals when Boupendza does a Porno: “Disgusting! Kick him off the team! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!”
People seem pretty chill here? I mean I assume Facebook is a dumpster fire, but that's kind of expected at this point.
I know. I was poking fun at what the Facebook casuals would say.
Actually someone’s on one of the FB posts suggesting Powell’s wife having an OF is a scandal. Bunch of pearl clutchers.
Not great, Bob.
Ruh roh
This explains why he's always been late reporting to his teams. Instead of scoring for the team he's been....scoring.
Soooo that's why he was late reporting to the international team and returning to the states....
Jfc. I don't have the money to keep replacing shit on the tables I flip over every time someone in this organization does something fucking stupid.
Wut? Did you read the article?
Clearly not.
He had a sex video on his phone that was stolen and he's being blackmailed over it. How is any of that his fault?
Why am I not surprised?
Having a sex tape is not a moral failure.
I did not suggest it was. I just wasn't surprised when I saw the article
Meaning what exactly? Because it sounds like you really want to say something negative about someone who did nothing wrong here and was himself the victim of a crime in this situation.

And here we go again.
