The controversial ex-footballer has spilled details of his personal life in his new autobiography.
Brazilian football legend Adriano, famously known as "The Emperor," has shocked fans with a candid revelation from his newly released biography, ‘Adriano, My Greatest Fear’.
In the no-holds-barred memoir, the 42-year-old former Inter striker recounts an outrageous chapter from his life involving an 18-woman sex party, leaving readers gobsmacked at the raw honesty of his confessions.
The tell-all book dives deep into the highs and lows of Adriano’s personal and professional journey, including his infamous escapades off the pitch.
Among the most jaw-dropping stories is his account of a night at Centauro, a renowned Copacabana brothel, where Adriano allegedly orchestrated an extravagant orgy at a luxury motel.
“I put on my bathrobe, poured a whiskey, and declared, ‘Today will be Adriano’s festival!’” he revealed as per Globo Extra, unapologetically recounting his wild past.
18 Girls, 3 Guys, and a night to remember
The retired footballer detailed how he invited 18 women to join him and two friends for what he dubbed "Adriano's festival" at Vips, a swanky motel in São Conrado.
“I called 18 girls and told them, ‘You can come, I’m paying. The party is going to be good,’” he recounted with trademark bravado.
While some of Adriano’s friends bailed on the idea, claiming the spectacle was too much, the Emperor and his two “warriors” powered through the night.
“One of the guys fell in love with a girl and stayed with her all night,” Adriano explained.
“So, it was 17 for the two of us. I’ve always loved a big challenge.”
These days, Adriano claims to have hung up his wild boots, proudly declaring, “I can't date anymore. I even retired from whoring, bro. I've done everything, I have no need to hide it."
This jaw-dropping revelation has only added to the football icon’s larger-than-life reputation, cementing his legacy not only as a powerhouse on the pitch but also as a man unafraid to live unapologetically.
Adriano had four prolific seasons in Italy with Italian clubs Parma and Inter Milan, being considered one of the best strikers in the world during this time and earning the nickname L'Imperatore ("the Emperor").
He finished within the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or in 2004 and 2005 and was awarded the IFFHS World's Top Goal Scorer of 2005 and was also a three-time winner of Bidone d'Oro award.
Adriano was also instrumental to Inter's 2005–06 Scudetto win before his career was, however, marked by inconsistency and a decline in his performances which coincided with the death of his father.
