West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has spoken out about the shocking video which emerged last year of him kicking and slapping his pet cat.
After footage surfaced, which was filmed by Zouma's brother Yoan and posted on Snapchat, the centre-back issued a grovelling apology after pleading guilty to kicking and slapping his pet. He was also sentenced to 180 hours of unpaid community work, ordered to pay costs of £8,887 and banned from owning cats for five years
The RSPCA also took his two pet cats away from him, while West Ham fined him £250,000 but decided not to suspend him. In a fresh interview with the Evening Standard, Zouma has once again apologised for making such a 'bad mistake' and opened up about the effect the incident has had on him and his family.
