Kyrgios ex on struggles after break-up: "Was looking towards alcohol and drugs"

Nick Kyrgios saw his Wimbledon campaign plagued by a lawsuit by ex-girlfriend Chiara Passari who alleged that he assaulted her.

The incident is said to have happened in December of 2021 with the case currently still in court. Kyrgios refrained from commenting on the matter on the advice of his lawyers who are handling the case as he continues to compete on the ATP Tour.

The relationship was said to be intense with Passari recently detailing her devastation when it ended:

"From losing all hope in love, in myself, and in any form of happiness or meaning. Never being able to genuinely smile or understand my purpose in this life. Losing all my appetite/being disgusted by food and instead looking towards alcohol & drugs to help."

She added:

"Then spontaneously moving to a new city, hearing my laugh again, finding my people, loving food again, becoming excited for life. Being closer to my family than I ever have been and starting over. It's all in the universe's hands and is all one big f***ed up journey but all I know is we will always come out of the other end to reach the light."

Kyrgios is facing a two years of jail time if convincted.
