West ham Player Zouma Dropped from Team and Sponsorship Amidst Pet Abuse Video Leak

West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has been under the spotlight after a video was leaked on Tuesday where he has been seen hitting and kicking his cats. RSPCA has confirmed that the cats have been removed from his home.

The defender won against Watford on Tuesday and was then fined by West Ham for this act. Essex Police reported and solved the issue with over 150,000 people signing petitions for Zouma to be prosecuted.

With the bad news not ending for Zouma, Adidas have dropped him and will not continue to sponsor him after this incident.

“We have concluded our investigation,” the company said in a statement, “and can confirm Kurt Zouma is no longer an Adidas contracted athlete.”

West Ham also agreed with the public and condemned the act only to confirm that they had fined Zouma the maximum amount.

After the release of the video, Zouma released a statement,

“”I want to apologise for my actions. There are no excuses for my behaviour, which I sincerely regret. I also want to say how deeply sorry I am to anyone who was upset by the video. I would like to assure everyone that our two cats are perfectly fine and healthy. They are loved and cherished by our entire family, and this behaviour was an isolated incident that will not happen again.”
