“I was facing an animal”: a former Miss France candidate accuses Patrick Bruel of serious offenses

This Thursday, May 7, 2026, Mediapart has published a new part of its investigation devoted to Patrick Bruel. Fifteen additional women denounce behavior that they consider inappropriate, even alleged sexual violence, during meetings dating back between 1991 and 2019. Some mention concerts, others filming, professional meetings or even massage sessions. These new stories are added to the fourteen testimonies already revealed a few weeks ago.

To this day, the artist remains presumed innocent and strongly contests all accusations. His lawyers assure that he “never used his fame or position to obtain sex†and affirm that, when a refusal was opposed to him, “eye never went beyond†. Several legal proceedings are underway in France and Belgium, notably for alleged rape, attempted rape and sexual assault.

A former Miss France candidate comes out of silence

Among these new speeches, that of Florima Treiber, former candidate for Miss France and ex-Miss Alsace, particularly struck readers. The young woman says she met Patrick Bruel in 2007 during the Miss France election, where he chaired the jury. Seduced by the professional promises that she thinks she sees, she then agrees to see the singer again in Paris, on the sidelines of the Molières. But the evening doesn’t go at all as she imagined.. She explains that she thought it was a meeting related to modeling before meeting up at his place. “I am waiting for a professional, artistic discussion… she says in the investigation. According to his testimony, the singer then had him “saute dessusâ€leaving her totally stunned.

Today she describes an extremely violent memory: “There, I was facing an animal, sweat on my forehead… Other women interviewed by Mediapart also talk about reports “non-consensual†, of “control†or even a man who “I wouldn’t ask about their consent.†. A former minor at the time of the events even claims to have suffered a “black-out†after drinking tea at the singer’s house.

What about Patrick Bruel’s tour?

These new accusations seriously complicate the situation around the tour So look at 35, several dates of which are still maintained. In certain cities, tension begins to rise between fans and opponents of the singer’s arrival. On May 6, 2026, several media outlets were already reporting concerns around the concert planned in Porcieu-Amblagnieu, in Isère. Feminist collectives and certain local elected officials are now demanding cancellations because for them, maintaining the shows sends the wrong signal. However, many spectators continue to support the artist at all costs.

Others point out that Patrick Bruel has not been convicted by any court and that he fully benefits from the presumption of innocence. For the organizers, the headache becomes enormous: maintain the concerts at the risk of fueling controversy, or cancel one of the biggest French headliners with all the financial consequences that this implies.
