Taken to court by Star Academy production, Djebril claims to be a victim of discrimination. We take stock here!
On November 4, 2023, Nikos announced the official launch of the 11th season of
Star Academy. Around ten candidates then entered the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. The viewers were particularly attached to one of them,
Djebril. If he was eliminated after nine weeksthe 22-year-old young man participated in the tour organized by the production of the show.
In this last week of November, the new Academicians received a visit from their predecessors.
“As it is the prime of the tour and we are going to do a kind of handover with the previous season, which was one of the biggest tour successes of 2024, the alumni of the tour of the year last year will come to attend the evaluations and give advice, coach this year's students”explained Michael Goldman, reports AuFéminin. Only Djebril was absent.
Star Academy: Djebril, on bad terms with production?
On the X network (formerly known as Twitter), journalist Clément Garin claims that “the production [aurait] sued Djebril Slatni pour violation of various contractual clauses that he had signed upon entering the castle, in particular the non-disparagement clause. He [aurait]
also been sued for defamation“.
According to him, the production also ordered the ex-Academician's comrades not to pronounce his name. Indeed, “the student could request compensation for the use of his name and image in the middle of a legal dispute. These revelations coming from the journalist, relayed here in the conditional tense, should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Star Academy: Would Djebril have been discriminated against?
The day after the Star Academy tour, Djebril spoke on social networks. “I am closing a chapter in which, week after week, I could grow in the goodwill of my comrades, counterbalanced by an ambient climate which forced me to note that 'I wasn't in my place'“he began.
Lénie's friend said not having felt “nor respected as a person, nor as an artist. According to him, “all and allThe artists do not [seraient] not in the same boat“. The Niçois, passionate about music and dance, deplored never having had “the space nor the consideration of being able to show what [il était] really capable before the tour”. Never has tension been so high behind the scenes of TF1's flagship talent show!
