Slimane Wins NRJ Music Award Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations

The French singer attended the ceremony despite a pending legal complaint, expressing gratitude to his supporters.

Slimane, accused of sexual harassment by a former tour technician, was awarded the title of Best Francophone Male Artist at the NRJ Music Awards.
The allegations involve an incident in December 2023, with the accuser's lawyer reportedly holding evidence that could lead to a preliminary investigation.
Despite the controversy, Slimane appeared at the awards in Cannes, performing his song 'Mon Amour' and expressing emotional gratitude to his fans and family.
The NRJ Music Awards organizers considered removing Slimane's nominations but ultimately decided to maintain his participation, citing the presumption of innocence.
Public and media reactions were mixed, with some attendees expressing discomfort, while others, including TF1, supported his attendance.
