Deschamps sues Nasri's girlfriend following Twitter meltdown
Samir Nasri was left off of France's World Cup squad, prompting a series of tweets from Nasri's girlfriend that can be described as 'out there.'
Anara Atanes apologized for her social media outburst, in which she exclaimed '"F*** France and F*** Deschamps!" referring to France's national team manager.
'I apologize if i offended anyone from france, My tweets were not aimed at the nation as a whole,' she later tweeted, but Deschamps refuses to brush things off.
Didier Deschamps files civil suit against Nasri gf after offensive tweet, reports @RBairner. DD & Nasri share same agent. Bit awkward

Awkward indeed. Nasri was devastated by his exclusion from the French set up, and the actions of his girlfriend add fresh salt to unhealed wounds.
Social media can be tough.
