Neymar Sued by Former Chef Over Alleged 16-Hour Shifts and Injuries

The labor claim seeks roughly €43,000 in compensation, with the Regional Labor Court of the 1st Region reviewing the filing.

Overview

  • The plaintiff says she worked at Neymar’s Casa Hotel Portobello residence in Mangaratiba from July 2025 until February 2026.
  • Court documents cited by Brazilian outlet Metropoles allege frequent late nights and weekend shifts serving the player and up to 150 people daily, with missed lunch breaks.
  • The filing links back problems and hip inflammation to lifting heavy meat and supplies during extended workdays.
  • The lawsuit names both Neymar and a third-party employer who hired the chef on his behalf.
  • Reported monthly pay ranged from a registered 4,000 reais to about 7,500 reais, and Neymar has declined to comment as the court examines the case.
