A message that risks displeasing… On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Le Parisien revealed that a former technician for Slimane's tour had filed a complaint against the artist for sexual harassment. On Monday, November 18, 2024, the magazine revealed that a second complaint had been filed against him. While the successful singer did not speak out this topic, tongues are gradually loosening… Wednesday, December 4, 2024, Slimane joined Vitaa on the stage of the Accor Arena. While the singer's technicians did not want the presence of the one who participated in Eurovision, they had made a gesture full of meaning.
“We signed for Vitaa, not for Slimane. Our job is to put an artist on stage on a pedestal and we don't want to put on a pedestal a guy who is the target of two complaints for sexual assault and sexual harassment which moreover are filed by colleagues, sometimes friends”, had confided a technician in conflict with the production in the columns of Le Parisien. Another technician had assured to be in solidarity with his “friends who were victims of Slimane”.

As the journalist Arthur Brondy had revealed, on X (ex-Twitter), the singer was indeed present at l’Accor Arena but his duet performances with Vitaa on the tracks Ça va ça vient and Avant toi did not go as planned. “A sound problem at the singer's arrival, and a fixed wide shot of the stage during the sequence as a sign of protest”, he had stressed.
If Slimane's technicians have not spoken out on this affair, Vitaa has always defended her friend. It was thus hand in-hand, a few days before the scandal, that they had gone together on the red carpet of the NRJ Music Awards. “If you wonder 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 it in depth“, she assured on the set of C à you, on France 5.
Slimane: “I love you so much”
Friday, April 13, 2024, in a story on Instagram, the singer, currently on tour, shared a photo where he is surrounded by about fifteen people. “Last departure on a tour bus. I love you so much”, he wrote. No doubt that this message is likely to make the two men who wore complaint against him…
A few days earlier, for our colleagues at Nextplz, a source close to the music world had confided in Slimane. “This isn't the first time I've heard stuff about Slimane. It's not even a surprise, we all knew it. All the technicians who worked with him told me”, she assured, before specifying: “Afterwards, I didn't directly witness these scenes”.
