The on-field exploits of Samuel Eto'o was equally matched in contrast by his off-field run-ins with press people and general public. His former agent Daniel Argibeaut too accused Samuel Eto'o of assaulting him and threatening with death sentence.

He also hates to bring his family members for fear of subjecting them to the same racial abuse. He said, "At this moment in time I prefer my children don't go to football matches. In the stands they have to listen to things that are difficult to explain to a child. It is better they aren't exposed to it."
