An anger that does not subside. Flavie Flament’s statements on her alleged rape ignited the powder. The host has accused Patrick Bruel of having abused her while she was still a minor. In response, the singer spoke of a consensual sexual relationship. A version strongly contested by Flavie Flament, who filed a complaint for rape. Around thirty women spoke out, some going so far as to take the matter to court.
The acts of sexual violence with which he is accused are would be produced between 1991 and 2019. Thus, a former professor of Star Academy broke the silence, explaining how the young candidates were protected from the singer. Even if Patrick Bruel remains presumed innocent, the scandal threatens his career. He would also have admitted in private that he was “died professionally”.
Why was a performance of Patrick Bruel’s play canceled?
He seems resigned to proving his innocence. But faced with the media storm, measures had to be taken. Patrick Bruel has canceled his summer festival tour as well as three of his Paris concerts. Outside our borders, Quebec was the first to decide to cancel its concerts. And while Patrick Bruel announced that he was temporarily withdrawing from Les Enfoirés, around twenty testimonies within the troupe came to corroborate the accusations against Patrick Bruel. Enough to rekindle the anger of feminist associations, which demand the cancellation of his tour So Look 35 for several weeks.
Despite the storm, Patrick Bruel was still performing with the play Part twoperformed at the Édouard VII theater. A piece already taken to task by feminist activists. This Wednesday, June 3 in the evening, members of the association All of us are came to interrupt the performance, as reported BFM TV. They then asked, with a poster to support it, to stop programming Patrick Bruel at the theater. “No stage for the attackers, no audience for the rapists“they chanted. The activists won their case last night: the performance was finally canceled.
Will Patrick Bruel’s play be canceled before the end?
“We ask that it not be shown in theaters. Leaving a room to a person accused of sexist and sexual violence is a choice, it is not neutral“declared Fanny, member of the collective All of us Paris 11-12 according to our colleagues. The play, where Patrick Bruel gives the responses to Stéphane Freiss and Marine Delterme, was to end this Sunday, June 7.
Or, comme l’a noté BFM TV, the ticket reservation page displays an error message on the site of the Édouard VII theater. Representations already complete, simple computer bug or early cancellation? To be continued…
