Claudia Bavel was ‘waiting' for Lamine Yamal to turn 18? Alleged WhatsApp chats with Barcelona star exposed
Claudia Bavel has exposed her chats with the football star, Lamine Yamal. The latter plays for Barcelona and allegedly hit on the former adult star, who is 11 years older than him. Bavel revealed that she was being 'chased' by the athlete after she asked him to wait until he turned 18.
Moreover, the media personality spoke in Spanish on TV, claiming that Yamal asked her to come to his house. When Bavel refrained, stating that he wasn't even 18 yet, the football player assured her that she 'wouldn't end up in jail.'
In addition to the controversy, Bavel also went viral on social media in the past few days after the Barcelona fans found similarities between her and Yamal's posts.
Claudi Bavel exposes her alleged chats with Lamine Yamal
While speaking on TV, Claudia revealed what happened between her and the football ace.
As quoted by Sportskeeda, she stated, 'Lamine said to me: 'Come to my house, I have heating.' I told him: 'It would be too much because I'm about 11 years older than you, don't you think?' Lamine said: 'No, it's perfect!' I said: 'If I get arrested, you get me out of jail, hahaha!' Lamine replied, 'No, I give you my word.' He told me to stop the crap and not to think about his age... I was waiting for him to turn 18."
Meanwhile, Bavel also dropped a statement on social media where she claimed that Yamal lied about what happened between the two and spun a fictional story about their relationship, which was never there.
In her statement, Bavel mentioned, 'I chose not to speak publicly on this matter in 2025. However, since Lamine Yamal mentioned our alleged relationship on TardeAR, I find it appropriate to share my version with clarity and respect.'
She further added, 'He claims to live with his mother but in reality lives alone. He says he rejected me when he was the one who sought my contact and insisted on meeting. He denies we've met, despite crossing paths at several social events."
The media personality further clarified that she has never been in a relationship with a teenager and that no meeting was initiated by her. To conclude her statement, Claudia claimed that she asked for understanding and restraint from the audience, her fans, and followers.

Norwegian tourist says he was detained for ‘JD Vance meme', US says drug use, not politics, caused ban
A 21-year-old tourist from Norway, Mads Mikkelsen, says he was held for five hours at Newark Airport by US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) over a meme on his phone showing US Vice-President JD Vance with a bald head. The US authorities, however, say he was denied entry due to admitted drug use. After returning to Norway, Mikkelsen told the local paper Nordlys and the BBC that USCBP officers questioned him about drug use, terrorism, and extremism. He said they asked him to unlock his phone and threatened him with a $5,000 fine if he refused. He told the BBC: 'The agent seemed to be very antagonised by the image. He asked me why I had it saved on my phone.' Mikkelsen said he explained it was a meme and meant to be humorous, but the agent replied: 'It's very clearly a piece of dangerous extremist propaganda.' Mikkelsen also admitted to the officers that he had legally used cannabis in Germany and in the US state of New Mexico. Both places allow recreational use of the drug, but under US federal law, any drug use – even where legal – can be grounds for refusal of entry. He said he was then taken to a guarded room, where he was asked to hand over his phone, shoes, and bag. Later, the USCBP posted on X: 'Fact Check: FALSE. Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.' The Department of Homeland Security also denied that the meme had anything to do with the decision. BS. Claims that Mads Mikkelsen was denied entry because of a JD Vance meme are FALSE. Mikkelsen was refused entry into the U.S. for his admitted drug use. — Tricia McLaughlin (@TriciaOhio) June 24, 2025 Mikkelsen described the experience as traumatic. He said he was strip-searched, fingerprinted, had his luggage searched, and blood taken. He also claimed that his Norwegian passport was wrongly marked as 'Spanish,' and that US officials wrote incorrect information about his travel plans. According to paperwork shared by Mikkelsen, border agents also suspected he may have been trying to work in the US without permission, something he denies. 'I would not return while the current government is in power,' Mikkelsen told Nordlys. BBC reports that USCBP says fewer than 0.01 per cent of travellers have their phones or devices searched. Around one million people enter the US each day. US President Donald Trump, currently in office, has taken a strong stance on drug use and border enforcement.

"Dangerous Extremist Propaganda": How A Bald JD Vance Meme Got Tourist Banned From US
A 21-year-old Norwegian tourist called Mads Mikkelsen was detained by the US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) at Newark Airport for five hours. Mikkelson claims it was because of a doctored photo of US Vice President JD Vance. After he returned to Norway, Mikkelsen spoke to a local newspaper Nordlys and stated that the USCBP agents threatened to slap a $5,000 fine on him if he did not unlock his phone and let them scroll through the photos. In his photo gallery, the agents discovered a photoshopped picture of JD Vance with a bald, egg-shaped head on his phone. Mikkelsen told the BBC, "The agent seemed to be very antagonised by the image. He asked me why I had it saved on my phone." He went on to explain to the agent that it was just a meme, a piece of comedy. The agent responded by saying, "It's very clearly a piece of dangerous extremist propaganda". However, he also said that he told agents about legally consuming cannabis in Germany and New Mexico, in places where it was legal to do so, after they extensively questioned him about drug smuggling, terrorism and extremism. He was also taken to a guarded room and asked to surrender his shoes, phone and backpack. US law does state that an individual can be turned away for drug use even if they have not been convicted of a crime. Later, USCBP clarified in a post on X that Mikkelsen was denied entry because of his admitted drug use. "Fact Check: FALSE," they posted, "Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use." The Department of Homeland Security has also publicly denied that Mikkelsen was denied entry because of the meme. Mikkelsen said that the entire episode had been traumatic because of strip-searches, luggage ransacking, fingerprinting, blood sampling and falsified travel records. His Norwegian passport had also been mistakenly labelled as "Spanish". The paperwork he was given by US immigration officials, mentions another reason for his removal. Officials thought he may be attempting to seek unauthorised employment in the US. Mikkelsen said, "I would not return while the current government is in power." US Customs and Border Protection say that about one million individuals enter the United States every day, and of those people, only less than 0.01 per cent of travellers have their devices searched.
