Slimane again in turmoil. According to “Le Parisien”, it was a 33-year-old technician, employed on the singer’s tour, who filed a complaint for sexual assault. She arrives three weeks after the first for sexual harassment.
The facts date back to the night of December 17 to 18, 2023, in Saint-Étienne, during the party marking the end of the first part of the Cupidon Tour. The accusations relate to an initially light exchange: “Hey, you’re good,” Slimane allegedly said to the technician, who responded in a joking tone: “I’m good, but only on Sundays.”
Despite the refusal, the situation took a much more serious turn when Slimane pressed his erect penis against the complainant’s buttocks. Worse still, certain witnesses would have filmed the scene, before the artist’s brother asked to delete all video traces.
The complaint would have taken another turn when it was revealed that another technician had already denounced the singer’s behavior and left the tour because of these actions. Faced with the lack of reaction from the producing company, Play Two, the second complainant chose to break the silence.
The first complainant, for his part, was heard this Monday. As a reminder, he accuses Slimane of having harassed him during this same party, explaining that he was “blocked against a wall” by the artist for “an unwanted hug”. His lawyer indicates that the technician would have received “a multitude of messages and videos of a sexual, even pornographic nature” sent by Slimane for more than two hours. The latter’s team is in shock and would have explained that all the acts were consensual.
For Slimane, these new revelations further complicate a situation that is already highly publicized and fraught with consequences.
