Guest on the show C to youthis Wednesday, November 20, Vitaa was questioned on a subject unrelated to her direct career. Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine actually wanted to get a word from him regarding his sidekick on stage and in the recording studio: Slimane. The subject of two complaints for sexual harassment, the singer to whom she is close has been at the heart of the news since the end of October. Technicians who worked for him during his tours reported facts to the courts, according to which the artist had harassed them to obtain sexual favors, going so far as to attempt to assault them.
While Slimane still benefits from the presumption of innocence regarding these complaints and while he has not reacted publicly, Vitaa was invited to do so in his place on the set of France 5. The singer and mother of 41 years old was questioned about her physical complicity (they held hands) with Slimane during the last NRJ Music Awards on 1is November, who crowned his friend. Leaving the presenter C to you summarizing the affair concerning the singer, Vitaa finally shed light on this habit that the media have had, since the start of his career, of asking him questions about his famous friendships. “It’s funny, all my life, I’ve been made a bit of a spokesperson for all my artist friends,” she declared, already remembering “at the time” of her first musical successes, when she “venai”[t] on set, each time there was a question for Diam's although that was not the subject.

On its momentum, Vitaa clarified “[qu’]today, it’s Slimane” and that “one moment, it was Stromae.” “I say it with a smile, but it’s true that I often get asked the question, but to be very, very honest, I absolutely did not come to talk about that for him,” she retorted firmly, agreeing however to say a few words about their strong friendship also continuing on stage. “On the other hand, if you wonder about my relationship with Slimane, really, I invite you to watch the documentary [Vitaa, je m’appelle Charlotte, qui sera diffusé en prime time sur TMC le 22 novembre, ce qui était l’objet de son invitation dans l’émission de France 5, NDLR]– because he is very present in the documentary – and I really talk about this in depth, so really, everything is said, there you go. I can't tell you more.” she concluded. For her part, the host of C to you recognized that Slimane is “actually very present in this documentary” but it is therefore also, de facto, “inseparable from his journey”.
