“To vomit”: Vianney in turmoil after a controversial message on the Gisèle Pelicot affair

Vianney finds himself at the heart of a controversy after a tweet related to the Mazan rape case. On Saturday, the singer made an unfortunate remark about a disturbing coincidence: his song “Beau-papa” was playing in the supermarket at the time of Dominique Pelicot’s arrest. Outcry on social networks.

Dominique Pelicot, on trial since September 2 in Avignon, is accused of drugging Gisèle Pelicot with anxiolytics to rape her and have her raped by dozens of men recruited on the internet over a ten-year period.

On Friday, September 13, Paris Match revealed a video showing the arrest of Dominique Pelicot in 2020, while he was discreetly filming under the skirts of several women in a supermarket.

In a tweet published the following day, Vianney mentioned a disturbing coincidence: his song “Beau-papa” was playing in a supermarket at the time of the arrest.

“There’s my song Beau-papa (absurd contrast) that’s playing in the store when he gets caught and I don’t know what to do with this information. Oh yes, I’ll take the opportunity to show my full support for Gisèle Pelicot, so courageous and so dignified. Infinite respect, Madam.”

Even though the artist took advantage of this anecdote to express his support for Gisèle Pelicot, his message was not well received by Internet users. And the reactions were quick to come.

And less than 24 hours after the publication of his tweet, Vianney’s X account disappeared. For the moment, it is impossible to determine if it is a technical problem, a suspension or a closure of the account.
