Patrick Bruel: Chantal Ladesou makes comments about the affair that might surprise, “He’s still an artist…”

The controversy surrounding the tour So Look 35 by Patrick Bruel continues to gain momentum. This tour, which should start on June 16, is now at the heart of a lively public protest. At the origin of this mobilization: a petition launched by several feminist collectives, including NousToutes or MeTooMedia. In a few weeks, the text gathered more than 40,000 signatures and received the support of numerous personalities from the cultural world. In Quebec, the singer’s few dates were canceled without date. In Belgium, the mayor of Liège has made a decision which will undoubtedly not please fans of Oscar and Léon’s dad.

Among the celebrities who have publicly given their support to this forum include the ex-partner of Samuel Benchetrit, Anna Mouglalis, the star of Marleau Corinne Masiero, or even Florence Porcel who filed a complaint against Patrick Poivre d’Arvor. All denounce the singer’s continued presence on stage while several legal proceedings are underway against him and other complaints have already been announced.

Bruel affair: Chantal Ladesou goes against the grain but…

Faced with this media fever, few figures in the audiovisual landscape have until now agreed to comment on the affair. But this Saturday, May 23, Chantal Ladesou chose to come out of the silence in an interview given to Dauphiné Libéré. With frankness, the actress went against the tide of the majority of voices currently being raised. “He’s still an artistif he no longer tours, if he no longer plays in the theater, if he can no longer do his job, it’s still very boring”she declared.

But behind the comedian’s position is a concern that has little to do with the interpreter of Place des Grands hommes to me. At the star of Mask Singer reminds us that the singer will not be the only one to see his future impacted. A sudden end to the tour could lead to disaster for all the teams mobilized for the show. “Behind a tour, there is the theater, technicians, a whole bunch of people who will find themselves doing nothing from one day to the next. When you’re on stage, you’re responsible for a whole bunch of people. I think we don’t have the right to prevent artists from playing. It’s too hard. It’s too difficult because it puts a lot of people out of work.”a-t-elle insisté.

The comedian qualifies his remarks

If Chantal Ladesou defends the right of artists to continue practicing their profession as long as no conviction has been pronounced, however, she did not brush aside the accusations targeting the singer, Ã l’inverse of Anny Duperey who, in a recent interview had estimated that at the zenith of his success, “it’s the singer who could have filed a complaint”. Following her interview, Chantal Ladesou expressed her distress over this affair. “What he did, I don’t know, he wasn’t tried, but when there are so many testimonies, it raises questions“she analyzed. Justice must now do its job and disentangle fact from fiction.
