Women’s Euro 2025 star who turned down Playboy reveals she constantly flooded with photos of naked men
GERMANY captain Giulia Gwinn has detailed the harassment that she has received from men online.
Gwinn, 25, will wear the armband as Germany go for glory at Women’s Euro 2025 next month.
Ahead of the tournament, the defender opened up on what she has had to deal with on social media.
In her new autobiography, Gwinn revealed: “I constantly receive photos of naked men.
“So-called penis pics. This kind of stuff constantly pops up in my Instagram inbox. The photos are always from anonymous accounts.
“I delete the photos and messages, and I report the accounts. It’s just plain bad harassment.”
Having suffered with a cruciate ligament injury, Gwinn was offered a lucrative deal to pose for Playboy in 2023.
The German star called the offer “very tempting” – but instead decided: “I prefer to present myself as a footballer on the field.”
Gwinn has since received further offers from the magazine, but has stuck to her stance.
The Bayern Munich star added: “They’re beautiful and aesthetic photos, no doubt.
“But they’re not for me. Posting a bikini photo on my account is fine, but anything else exceeds my personal limits.”
Gwinn, who has more than 600,000 Instagram followers, remains on Playboy Germany boss Florian Boitin’s radar.
He said: “Giulia Gwinn is not only an outstanding athlete, but also a beautiful young woman. So a personality like her is naturally interesting for Playboy.”
Gwinn recovered from her nasty knee injury to reclaim her spots with both Bayern and the German national team.
She scored twice at last summer‘s Olympic Games as Germany won bronze.
While she also netted as her side beat England 4-3 at Wembley last October.
Germany will begin their Euro 2025 campaign against Poland in St Gallen on July 4.
They will then face further group stage tests against Denmark and Sweden.
