Three Leicester City Players Apologize After Video of Racially-Abusive Orgy Surfaces

Three Leicester City players have apologized after a video of them engaging in a racially-abusive orgy with Thai women was posted by the Sunday Mirror.

James Pearson, Tom Hopper and Adam Smith are the “stars” of the multiperson sex tape, which was filmed while Leicester City was in Bangkok attempting to bolster the club’s relationship with fans there.

The trio shared the video with friends back in the United Kingdom before it was obtained by the newspaper.

At one point, one of the players can be heard referring to one of the women as “slit eye.”

"And later one calls one of the women “minging – an absolute one out of 10” as his friends laugh. Other offensive comments are made to the women as the players appear to laugh and egg each other on."

At another point, either Pearson or Smith can be heard offering to swap women with Hopper. Hopper and Pearson end the video by sharing a celebratory high-five.

In a statement the club said the players “would like to convey their sincere apologies for their behaviour – to the women involved in the incident, to the club and its owners, to the club’s fans and to their families.”

“We take the conduct of our players at every level extremely seriously and will take appropriate action, if necessary, once the full facts of the situation have been established,” the club continued. “Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, the club will make no further comment.”
