The Nottingham Forest winger’s name has appeared on a fake list of Epstein Island’s visitors.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has reacted to a fake document claiming he visited Jeffery Epstein’s island.
On Wednesday, about 950 pages of court documents identifying associates of notorious sex offender Jeffery Epstein were declassified. Unofficial lists of high-profile individuals have been circulating online as the likes of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking are named in the first batch of the released documents.
One list, in particular, caught the attention of football fans as it included Hudson-Odoi. Chelsea’s former academy star has now issued a statement dismissing the bizarre rumours.
“I have seen this circulating around social media for a while now, and I wasn’t going to comment on it as it is absurd (and I would’ve been a child at the time),” Hudson-Odoi wrote on Instagram.
“However, understanding my position as a role model, I would like to make it absolutely clear that I have never been part of the Epstein scandal nor have I ever been to Epstein Island, so please stop tagging me in these posts. Thank You.”
In addition to Hudson-Odoi, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s name has also been circulating on fake lists claiming he is involved in the investigations.
