Slimane is at the heart of a very dark affair. While he was already the target of a complaint for sexual harassment several weeks ago, the artist recently faced new accusations. And these risk worsening his situation.
Last Friday, November 22, Mediapart indeed revealed that two men had testified against him. The latter notably claimed to have received non-consensual photos of a pornographic nature from the singer.
“He was sending me offers at 3 a.m.told me “I'm excited”, and he sent me a video of him masturbating”explained one of them to our colleagues. A story that sends chills down your spine…
Slimane ignored by Faustine Bollaert
As we might expect, the repercussions of the accusations against Slimane are now being felt even in his professional career. The proof!
Lara Fabian, with whom he collaborated on his latest album called I am herewas recently the guest of honor on the show The secret box on France 3.
While she was in full promotion of her new record, fans of the program hosted by Faustine Bollaert expected to see Slimane on set. However, Vitaa's sidekick was not invited, a choice apparently dictated by the controversy.
“It would have been very strange for him to be there“, confided a member of the star host's team during an interview with Parisian.
Lara Fabian splashed by scandal
If the production has obviously made the decision to draw a line under Slimane, the recent accusations against the artist would also weigh on Lara Fabian's team.
According to our information, the latter would have also taken the decision to “no longer grant interviews to the written press and concentrate on promotion on television and radio TV/Radio where instructions were given not to discuss the affair“. “Return to press interviews in January if the blow has settled”an anonymous source told us.
Some radio programs have therefore chosen not to mention Slimane during interviews, in order to avoid making the situation even more embarrassing, which seems entirely understandable.
