Ozil immediately claimed that his account had been hacked even as the photograph remained on his page for a good half an hour before his team managed to take it down.
Ozil's current girlfriend Amine Gulse
The message: "I know I messed up Mandy but will always love you @gracecapristo" set social media ablaze as Ozil, 28, is currently dating former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse. The football star later posted a picture of his current girlfriend with a denial. "As you may have seen my account was hacked. Thanks to my team and Instagram for assisting me in getting control back of my Instagram. Sorry to the media but it's time to kill the stories and false headlines now. The story is FAKE NEWS."
Ozil's ex-lover Mandy Capristo
Ozil and Capristo began dating in 2013 but split in 2014 amid reports of the footballer seeing another woman.
