Karim Benzema who was linked with Rihanna over the summer has been arrested today for allegedly blackmailing his french national team counterpart Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape. Valbuena has a sex tape which floating around he is being bribed by some individuals for it. The police believes the Real Madrid star is involved after their investigation. Details are still scarce but it is worth noting that another prominent french soccer player Djibril Cisse was arrested couple weeks ago for the same case and was released for no involvement.
It will be interesting to see how this story develops but a story like this one is not very good for his image. Benzema has been on the shelves few weeks with an injury, I guess he can fully commit in clearing his name.
