Slimane is the target of accusations of sexual harassment. While he largely composed Lara Fabian’s new album, the latter could be impacted by the affair.
This Friday, November 1st, Slimane is expected at the 26th NRJ Music Awards ceremonywhere he is notably named in the category “French-speaking male artist“. An important event for the 35-year-old singer but which comes at a very bad time for the latter. As revealed The Parisianthe artist is accused of sexual harassment by a former technician from his tour, the Cupidon Tour. The latter filed a complaint. Facts which date back to the night of December 17 to 18, 2023at the Zénith de Saint-Étienne, before a break in the concert series for the end-of-year holidays. It was during a party with the artistic team that Slimane would have “impose a hug” to the alleged victim.

My client leaves the lodge in a hurry and joins the tour bus. He thinks he’s done, but during the night, from his bed on the tour bus, the artist will send him for two and a half hours a multitude of messages and videos of a sexual nature, even pornographic“.
