Ex-Yankee Aroldis Chapman appears to grope older woman in disturbing video
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever and former Yankees star Aroldis Chapman raised eyebrows with a recent social media post, which featured a video of him caressing an older woman on a couch.
In a Instagram story video posted on Chapman’s verified account, the 36-year-old MLB star was seen lying on the shoulder of an older woman while rubbing her mid-section and grabbing her breasts.
The woman pushed his hand away from her chest at first, while they, along with a third person behind the camera, shared an exchange in Spanish.

The video was still on Chapman’s Instagram Story as of Wednesday morning.
The woman’s identity has not been confirmed, but some believe she is Chapman’s mother, according to Sports Illustrated.
A separate video on Chapman’s Instagram Story, shows the woman and an older man cooking in a kitchen together.
Chapman signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with Pittsburgh in January after pitching for the Royals and Rangers in 2023.
“Let’s give it our all on the field!” he wrote on Instagram at the time, including a photo of him in a Pirates jersey. “Thanks to everyone for your support.
“This year, we are going with everything, playing with heart and leaving everything on the field. Let’s enjoy an incredible season together full of triumphs and exciting moments!”
The Cuban-born reliever pitched for the Rangers during their 2023 World Series title run — seven years after he won his first championship with the Chicago Cubs in 2016.
He was 2-3 with four saves and a 3.72 ERA for the Rangers.
Chapman, a seven-time MLB All-Star, played two stints with the Yankees, in 2016 and then 2017-22 after he spent the first five years of his career with the Cincinnati Reds.
