This Wednesday, November 20, Vitaa was the guest of “C à vous” on France 5 to promote her new documentary, “Vitaa, my name is Charlotte”, which will be broadcast on Friday, November 22 at 9:25 p.m. on TMC. An interview which became slightly tense after a question from Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine. The host addressed the accusations of harassment and sexual assault against Slimane, two complaints having been filed by technicians of his “Cupidon tour”. A subject which immediately made the singer, close friend of the singer, with whom she formed a musical duo for several years, uncomfortable.
“All my life, I have been made a bit of a spokesperson for all my artist friends”
“We obviously have to respect the presumption of innocence, but is it difficult to pretend to be okay when everything is going wrong?“, launched the presenter, referring to the appearance of the duo”hand in hand” during the “NRJ Music Awards”, “without ever mentioning current affairs“. A question that caused a slight moment of hesitation on the set. “It’s funny, all my life, I’ve been made a bit of a spokesperson for all my artist friends.“, Vitaa retorted, visibly annoyed. “At the time, every time I came on set, there was a question for Diam's even though that wasn't the subject. Today, it's Slimane. At one point it was Stromae.“

With a smile on her lips but in a firm tone, Vitaa continued by specifying that she had no intention of speaking out for Slimane: “I say it with a smile, but it’s true that I often get asked the question. And to be very honest, I absolutely did not come to talk about this for him.“, she added, categorically. After this reframing, Vitaa tried to redirect the conversation towards what she was invited for, bouncing off the curiosity of the host: “On the other hand, if you are wondering about my relationship with Slimane, I invite you to watch the documentary because he is very present in the documentary and I really talk about that in depth.” “So really everything is said. There you go, I can't tell you more“, she concluded.
