Newslens NG reports that after heavy criticism, Napoli‘s social media executive has resigned amid the ongoing scandal surrounding the club’s highly criticized TikTok activities.
This week, the Serie A club provoked outrage by posting videos on their TikTok account insulting striker Victor Osimhen, prompting his agency to threaten legal action.

The first video showed the 24-year-old pleading for a penalty, with sped-up audio labeled “Gimme penalty, please” before firing the spot-kick wide of the post.

A second video from the club’s account, which has since been deleted, compared Osimhen to a “coconut,” which is usually seen as a racial slur.

In response to the event, Napoli stated that they ‘never sought to mock’ Osimhen but did not officially apologize.

According to reports, Osimhen received a private apology from Napoli directors on Wednesday for the club’s attitude on social media, but he is disappointed that they did not also issue a public apology.
