English footballer Dele Alli’s biological mother responded to her son’s interview and shocking claims of being molested by her friend in his childhood. Showing incredible character, Alli recently opened up about a few issues that he faced in past years and how his career struggled. Not only this, but Alli also made a few shocking revelations, which include getting molested and dealing drugs as a kid.
The 27-year-old was in a conversation with Gary Neville on ‘The Overlap’, where he said "At six I was molested by my mum's friend who was at the house a lot, my mum was an alcoholic. I was sent to Africa to learn discipline, and then I was sent back. Seven I started smoking, eight I started dealing drugs."
The Everton attacking midfielder's mother responded to the shocking claims made by his son and insisted that she had no idea Alli had to go through all the abuse as a child. In a conversation with The Sun, Denise said that she hasn’t been able to stop crying since the former Tottenham footballer gave the interview.
Denise said, "I have not been able to stop crying since I heard my son describe the abuse he suffered as a child. I had no idea he’d been molested." She added, "I’m so sorry. It breaks my heart to think that someone I allowed into my house might have betrayed my trust in the worst possible way. I cannot put into words how upset I am that I no longer have contact with my son - and only hope I’ll have the chance to see him again."
Notably, at the age of 12, Alli was adopted and later he went on to join Milton Keynes Dons’ youth academy. In 2015, he was signed for Tottenham Hotspur and went on to play for England in U17, U18, and U19 teams. Alli made his senior team debut in 2015 and played for his side in the UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
