“I remember a hand grabbing me by the hair to do what you imagine. » In his autobiographical book, “What are you for?” – candid confidences”, which will be released on Wednesday April 24, Jordan De Luxe, the host of C8 claims to have been sexually assaulted by a “personality”, during his first night in Paris, “14 years ago”.
Contacted by Le Parisien, Jordan De Luxe confirms this event, indicating that he “does not wish to file a complaint”, nor “disclose the first name of this actor”, who played “in a series which has not been on M 6 for a long time “, he said.
“I’m stupid, I shouldn’t have said yes”
Guest of the show “Parlons vérité” on Sud Radio, this Monday April 22, the host of “L’instant De Luxe” on C8 returned to the facts he denounces. At the time, the young man was around twenty years old. He has just arrived in Paris. He accompanies Geneviève de Fontenay to a party in a bar in the capital. “There are lots of personalities,” he said.
But at the end of the evening, Jordan is stuck in Paris. He lives with his cousin in the Paris suburbs, but it is late, there is no RER anymore. “The personality in question told me: You can sleep at my place, there is a guest room. I say yes. I’m stupid, I shouldn’t have said yes. At that moment, I don’t ask myself any questions,” he continued.
Arriving at their destination, the two men “sit down and talk.” The man offers Jordan a drink. A glass and a bottle are already on the table, according to his account. “He takes them and goes into the kitchen to serve me exactly what was inside the bottle and he comes back with the glass and the bottle,” he said.
“I woke up the next morning, naked in bed”
Even though Jordan “finds it weird” that he didn’t serve the drink in front of him, he drinks it. Quickly, the young man felt a “kind of vagueness”. “Afterwards these are images that I am not going to tell you on the radio. I remember a hand grabbing me by the hair to do what you imagine. And I woke up the next morning, naked in bed, with a used condom on the table,” he explains on the radio.
“Before leaving, I told him, Ah that’s what it’s like in this job, you have to sleep to succeed. He answers me : yes but you will not succeed. I just wanted to make him understand that I understood what he had done,” he adds.
If the host has decided to speak, it is because he “spends his time asking people questions”: “I enter into their privacy, I sometimes ask very strong questions, I try to go into complicated subjects (…) Why wouldn’t I do it? At some point, I have to say things. And then there are bastards,” he simply replied. The host also hopes to “remind people that this type of aggression can happen to boys” and show his “attacker that I know what happened,” he added to the jeanmarcmorandini.com blog.
