Neymar rape accuser dropped by her own lawyer after she 'changed her story on hotel attack' as details emerge of her 'injuries'
A WOMAN who has accused Brazilian football star Neymar of rape has been dropped by her lawyer after he claims she changed her story, it has been reported.
The 27-year-old is alleged to have raped the woman in a Paris hotel after meeting her on Instagram and details have emerged of bruising as well as post-traumatic stress she is reported to have suffered.

A medical examination carried out on May 21 - six days after the alleged rape – revealed the woman had bruising on her legs and buttocks and was also suffering from post-traumatic stress.
Now, her lawyer has told O Globo TV that she initially said that she had only been physically assaulted by the footballer.
José Edgard da Cunha Bueno Filho said he only heard about the rape claim when she made it in a formal complaint to police on May 31.
Mr Cunha Bueno Filho also said he advised her it would be better to strike a deal with Neymar's legal team because a court case could be "long and drawn out".
But he had concerns that the woman wanted to make public a video she made when she visited the star for a second time.
He told O Globo he was against what he described as the "bombshell measure" of releasing the video.
Matters "came to a difficult moment" and her actions "challenged my ethical standards, my professionalism about how I was handling things", he said.
"So for that reason, I no longer felt comfortable representing her. It just didn't make sense," he said.
It has also emerged the football star could face jail for posting the X-rated photos while attempting to defend himself against rape allegations.
The PSG forward uploaded a string of WhatsApp photos and messages from his alleged victim on Sunday in an attempt to suggest her allegations were a "set-up."
In an interview with Band TV, with his lawyers present, the footballer's father Neymar senior said: "My son is a victim of attempted extortion and this is the reason why he released the messages.
"He preserved the name of the girl and her image but (my son) had to defend himself. He's been accused of rape and this is a crime he has not committed.
"He didn't have a choice. He preferred to commit an internet crime than be accused of rape.
"This was something he had to defend himself from quickly. It's better that he tells the truth now to show what really happened."
Neymar's father spoke about the second meeting with the woman, which he claims she tried to record.
"She was desperate to meet up with her for the second time. He went (to the her hotel) and stayed for 10 minutes," he said.
"When he was there (Neymar) noticed a mobile phone was resting on the wall and it was recording."
According to his dad, the victim became angry with the footballer and lashed out at him.
"He managed to calm her down and left the hotel and booked her return ticket," said Neymar senior.
