For several weeks, Slimane has been at the heart of a controversy that is causing a lot of noise. Last October, The Parisian revealed in fact that the artist is the subject of several complaints from former technicians who worked on his tour Cupidon Tour.
A first complaint for sexual harassment was filed, concerning events which allegedly took place during a party organized after a concert. Three weeks later, a second complaint of sexual assault and attempted sexual assault followed.
At this point, the 35-year-old singer is still presumed innocent. However, these accusations are starting to impact his career. According to new revelations from Parisian this Tuesday, December 3, 2024, several professionals in the field decided to suspend their collaboration with him until the situation becomes clearer.
Vitaa attacks its teams
Vitaa would also be one of the collateral victims of this affair. Recently, she even had to confront her own technicians who objected.for two weeks since Slimane's arrival as a guest at Bercy (December 4, 2024, editor's note) and want to assert their right of withdrawal.
“We signed for Vitaa, not for Slimane. Our job is to put an artist on stage on a pedestal and we do not want to put on a pedestal a guy who is the target of two complaints for sexual assault and sexual harassment, which moreover is filed by colleagues (two technicians who worked on the singer's tour), sometimes friends“, confided one of them in the columns of our colleagues. “Of course, Slimane benefits from the presumption of innocence, but we know the artist and the atmosphere on his tours. Out of the question to work for him“.
Slimane is like his brother
If Slimane seems to accept his fate, Vitaa, for her part, would be particularly upset. “Charlotte (Vitaa's real first name) makes us feel guilty“, specifies a member of the team.
And to continue: “She doesn't understand why someone is doing this to her when she has nothing to do with it. She sees it as a betrayal. She says that Slimane is like her brother and that like in any family, we remain united even if we don't condone all the bullshit. The most scathing is Hicham who asks us to defend Slimane: Who has never sent a photo of their dick? (the first complainant says he received photos of a sexual nature from the singer). We all raised our hands“.
Between threats and pressure, the atmosphere is particularly tense on the singer's tour.
