Slimane, just a few weeks ago, was the proud representative of France at Eurovision. The singer revealed by The Voice had proposed a breathtaking performance which won over viewers. He had finished fourth in the competition and his notoriety had never been higher. Became a jury of The Voice Kidswe could regularly see him dispensing his kind advice to young budding artists. But that was before everything changed.
In fact, since then, two complaints of sexual assault followed one another against him. He who enjoyed the image of a peaceful man, with benevolence anchored to his body, has seen its reputation quite tarnished. The presumption of innocence is required as in each of these stories. But there will clearly be a before and an after in the singer's life and career.
Slimane faces second sexual assault charge
After the first accusation of sexual assault against him, a second one has just fallen. The Parisian did the story of how the events unfolded in yesterday's edition. If these were proven, it would be difficult for the singer to justify such an attitude. He would have in fact questioned one of the technicians on his tour. “Say, you’re good”. « I'm good, but only on Sunday”the technician then replied, laughing. “I don’t care, it’s Saturday night,” the singer would then have responded by taking him by the waist.
The famous daily Ile-de-France then revealed the details of the complaint they had in their hands. “The singer then places his erect penis between his buttocks and is about to put his hand on the technician's penis when Slimane's brother grabbed his hand to stop him ». An attitude which is reminiscent of that described by the first complainant. He had been apprehended in the same way by the singer.
The singer present alongside Vitaa and Amel Bent
Always according to The Parisian, other people were present at the time of the facts. They even had time to film the scene. An attitude immediately repressed by Slimane's brother. He thus ordered with a more than peremptory tone to delete the video traces, aware that his brother was in bad shape. Before adding, in a threatening tone, “I don’t want to see anything.”
The singer, far from letting himself be defeated, was present last night at a gala evening alongside Vitaa and Amel Bent. This was his first public reappearance since the second complaint. He was there for the documentary premiere dedicated to the life and career of Vitaa. A presence that risks generating a lot of ink and stealing the spotlight from Diam's best friend.
