Overview

• Jackson Irvine’s wife, Jemilla Pir, posted a video and screenshots showing disparaging remarks under her Instagram photo, including “No one is bigger than the club” and a claim he would soon leave and be “a footnote.”
• The comments were attributed to the account rene.fcsp and identified by multiple outlets as supervisory‑board member René Born.
• Born deleted the posts and, according to Kicker reports cited by several outlets, apologized to Irvine and was held internally accountable.
• FC St. Pauli said it had already conducted internal talks, communicated its distancing from the remarks, and urged respectful behavior, warning that social‑media mud‑slinging hurts everyone.
• Irvine has not responded publicly as the episode unfolds against his return from foot surgery and earlier controversy over his pro‑Palestinian expressions that divided some supporters.
