Makélélé’s Agent Needs To Know His Role

Claude Makélélé plays professional soccer for Chelsea in the English Premiership and for the French International team whenever they play a game. He has three sons. One with current wife, French supermodel Noémie Lenoir. The other two with women while unmarried. Maybe that explains the situation that Makélélé currently finds himself in.

Even though Makélélé is currently married to Lenoir, he has been recently accused of having an affair with another model: Katya Prudnikova [Infidelity Files: Claude Makelele]. Maybe she is responsible for at least one of the other two children.

But the best worst part of the whole story has to be the comments made by Makélélé’s agent, Jamie Ladjemi:

“[Makélélé’s] denying it. But even if it was true, he’s going to deny it. They’re all at it, but when they’re caught they deny it. He’s going to be in trouble, though, because his wife is here and she’s very nice. She’s very sensitive.”

Who exactly is Ladjemi representing here, Makélélé or his wife? This seems absolutely ridiculous and should be complete grounds for firing an agent. As the article states, Makélélé needs to fire this wanker.

And to think that this is the same guy that you promised semi-final and final tickets to for the 2006 World Cup..

Hat tip to Deadspin.

One reply on “Makélélé’s Agent Needs To Know His Role”

I think Makélélé’s agent is trying to move in on wifey. Sounds like he just threw him under the bus. What do you think?
