A tennis star who went missing after sensationally quitting the sport to become a ‘lingerie model’ did not ‘run away’, according to her lawyer.
Camila Giorgi announced her retirement in May amid rumours that the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) had been unable to get hold of her for two months.
The model, who has 730,000 followers on Instagram, was then accused of failing to pay rent and removing ‘half the furniture’ from a rented villa in Calenzano, near Florence, by her aggrieved former landlord.
After months of uncertainty over her location, Giorgi seems to have finally returned to Italy – with her lawyer Edmondo Tomaselli claiming she did not ‘run away’ at all, Bild reports.
Her fans have always followed her through her Instagram page, she has never been unavailable.’
As per the German publication, her lawyer says she denies the allegations against her.
Mr Tomaselli told Mail Sport that Giorgi also denies the allegations made by her former landlord.
Indeed, fans of the 32-year-old have been provided with a steady stream of pictures of Giorgi striking poses in an array of outfits.
Two weeks ago, she was snapped on a rooftop in Manhattan in a trip which coincided with the US Open in New York City.
