A version contested by the president of Restos du Cœur in the Ciné Télé Revue. According to him, the singer’s absence would be due to his very busy schedule. “When you’re on a tour like this right after finishing the last one, it’s impossible to be present here. He is absent like others are regularly and who then come back”explained Patrice Douret in particular.
His own concerts would therefore be the cause of his absence. Would he have been there if he had been available? “We didn’t ask ourselves the question. We were warned well in advance that he would not be present, as early as last spring”explains the president of Restos du Cœur.
As a reminder, Slimane is the subject of two complaints for “sexual harassment” and “sexual assault and attempted sexual assault”. Since then, the singer has been going through complicated times after being boycotted by the Vitaa teams – and despite his presence at the last NRJ Music Awards on November 1, 2024 – or having (already) been parodied by the Grand Cactus on RTBF.
Remember that Slimane remains innocent of the charges against him until the case is closed.
