Hamilton blasts his ex-girlfriend
A former girlfriend of F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton claims he was obsessed with threesomes – and was precious about others using his toilet.
Model Veronica Valle, 26, said the British driver’s behaviour grew increasingly strange with sudden mood swings over trivial incidents, as reported in The Sun.
She also claimed Hamilton – recently blasted for mocking his nephew’s decision to wear a dress – made cruel jibes about her weight and tore into his ex Nicole Scherzinger.
Valle revealed the motor racing ace was a charmer with an ‘‘ugly side’’.
‘‘Lewis is such a strange character,’’ she said.
‘‘He’s Jekyll and Hyde. He can switch moods very quickly and sometimes that would come about just because somebody used the wrong toilet,’’ she told the Sun.
Hamilton, now 33, first spotted Valle on Instagram in August 2015 and sent her a private message. He quickly flew her out to Barbados from her home in Houston, Texas.
She said Hamilton, who was on the Caribbean island with a string of other women, was initially very ‘‘sweet’’ towards her. After he whisked her away on his private jet a few weeks later, she discovered how quickly he lost his temper.
‘‘We were on the way to New York and Lewis went crazy after he found out that the pilot had pooped in the toilet,’’ she said.
‘‘He was going to fire the pilot! He said, ‘Everybody knows that they shouldn’t take a s*** on my plane’. He was really mad.’’
Valle too was confronted by him as she emerged from the loo at one of his properties in the South of France.
‘‘A few months later, at his house in Monaco, I ended up having to use the toilet that was next to the kitchen,’’ she said.
‘‘He saw me come out and said, ‘Why did you take so long?’ You could tell he was so upset.
‘‘It felt like he was going to yell at me, but in the end he just said, ‘You know you weren’t supposed to use that!’
‘‘He said I should have used the one in the guestroom. It was completely bizarre.’’
The mother of one claimed that even eating ice cream the wrong way could tip the world champion over the edge. ‘‘He grabbed the spoon and said, ‘You are supposed to do it like this’ – and he scraped a little layer off the top.’’ Threesome suggestions In New York, Valle claims that US actress and model Karrueche Tran – singer Chris Brown’s exgirlfriend – caught Hamilton’s eye. The pair had previously been romantically linked after being spotted partying together in London.
‘‘We ended up going to a party in New York. We go to this club and Karrueche Tran was there. She approached me and told me I was pretty.
‘‘I was upset at the party because Lewis had left me to the side. Somebody later said something about having a threesome with Karrueche Tran. I said no – I wouldn’t do that.’’
On another trip to Barbados, the Formula One ace joked about Valle joining him for a tryst with another woman, she claims. Oompa Loompa Weight jibes Romance between the couple ended gradually after three months in 2015 – but she continued to see him in Barbados each August.
Last August she saw him in Barbados for the final time. ‘‘I was at a party with him and I came to ask him if he was OK – but he just swore at me,’’ she said.
‘‘He told me to ‘get out of there’ and that it was ‘none of my business’.
‘‘I don’t understand why I was invited on that trip to get treated like that. His friend said when Lewis drinks, he loses his head. He doesn’t act the same. After just one drink he changes and becomes so rude.’’
Valle said Hamilton also made cruel jibes about her weight.
‘‘He would call me fat in front of all his friends,’’ she said. ‘‘If I was the first one to get food he would say, ‘Look at you, you are so fat!’ He would tell me I would eat too much – right before I went to serve myself food. Who does that to a woman?
‘‘People started laughing at me and I felt bad. One time he was with some girls in the room and as soon as I came in he started making fun of me.
He said, ‘Wow, you are so bright you look like a damn Oompa Loompa’. Throughout the whole trip he was so ugly to me.’’
Lewis – who in 2017 won the world title for a fourth time – apologised last month for making ‘‘inappropriate comments’’ about his young nephew wearing a dress.
The F1 ace had posted a video in which he said: ‘‘Boys don’t wear princess dresses.’’
