It’s a case that gets a lot of talk. For several weeks, Slimane has been the subject of accusations of sexual assault. Two complaints were filed against him and an investigation was opened to learn more. This Wednesday, November 20, Vitaa was the guest on the show C to you. A long-time friend of the singer, she was questioned about the accusations, but said she did not want to talk about them.
“We must obviously respect the presumption of innocence But is it hard to pretend to be okay when everything is going wrong?” asked Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine, throwing a chill on the set.
Vitaa had come to promote her documentary and she didn't expect me to turn the subject to Slimane. If she was fully aware that this might be the case, she would have preferred that it not be brought up. Thus, she wanted to let Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine know that she did not intend to respond to her. “ It’s funny, all my life, I’ve been made a bit of a spokesperson for all my artist friends,” she first said. Close to many artists, Vitaa has always been the one to whom we ask questions during interviews. Enough to greatly annoy the singer who did not want to let it happen.
Vitaa: “To be honest…”
Vitaa was not happy to be asked about Slimane rather than his documentary. She notably recalled: “ At the time, every time I came on set, there was a question for Diam's even though that wasn't the subject ”. A bit annoyed, she continues:
“Today, it’s Slimane. At one point, it was Stromaé”. A revelation which highlights the fact that, in each interview, Vitaa must give news of her friends rather than talking about her own career. “I say it with a smile but it’s true that often, they ask me the question”, continues the singer, aware that her response could be controversial.
On the set of the show, Vitaa seems to have given up.
“And to be very honest, I absolutely did not come to talk about this for him”she firmly declared. The singer then spoke of her friendship with Slimane, specifying that he will be present in the documentary. “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”she said before concluding:
“So really everything is said. There you go, I can’t tell you any more”. This has the merit of being clear.
Slimane: a singer targeted by two complaints
For several weeks, Slimane has been the center of attention.
The singer was the target of a first complaint for sexual harassment. It was a technician, who officiated on his last tour, who was at the origin of this one. A second complaint was filed, again by a former technician. The latter claims to have been the victim of sexual assault by the singer. The facts he describes would have occurred on the night of December 17 to 18, 2023, exactly at the same time as those denounced by the first technician. A preliminary investigation was opened by the public prosecutor of Saint-Étienne against the singer. Slimane remains presumed innocent of the charges against him.
