Lara Fabian breaks silence regarding the Slimane affair

Lara Fabian is going through a delicate period with the release of her 16th album, “Je suis là”. Despite the fact that Slimane co-wrote five of the tracks and publicly expressed his support, the legal situation concerning him, marked by accusations of harassment and sexual assault, disrupted the promotion of the album.

In order to preserve her work and avoid finding herself at the center of this controversy, Lara Fabian has chosen to focus solely on her music. As “Le Parisien” explains, the singer decided not to answer questions from the written press to avoid this affair overshadowing her album. Her goal is to talk about her art, her album, and to emphasize what she considers important, without letting controversy invade her.

Lara Fabian prefers to concentrate on her music

During her appearance on France Inter, Lara Fabian said she was “very uncomfortable” with this situation, but also expressed her wish not to get drawn into debates on the Slimane affair. Léa Salamé, respecting this wish, did not broach the subject, thus allowing the singer to remain focused on her music. This position shows that Lara Fabian prefers to distance her personal life from her professional career. Rather than letting herself be drawn into a controversy that has nothing to do with her work, she chooses to protect her image and continue to highlight her music, an area where she feels fully fulfilled. This choice demonstrates her desire to maintain control over her career and to remain faithful to what she loves: singing and creating.
