On Friday, September 13, Paris Match published a video from Dominique Pelicot‘s phone, taken on the day he was arrested for filming under the skirts of several customers at a supermarket in Carpentras. The police then searched his phone, and conducted searches and analyses of the man’s computer. Investigators then discovered that Dominique Pelicot had organized numerous rapes suffered by his wife, Gisèle, over a ten-year period.

This video caught the attention of hundreds of thousands of Internet users, including a certain Vianney. The 33-year-old singer thus published a message of support for Gisèle Pelicot, on his X account (ex-Twitter). But the artist would have done better to show his support in another way. “There is my song ‘Beau-papa’ (absurd contrast) which is playing in the store when he gets caught,” he remarks. “I don’t know what to do with this information. Oh yes, take advantage of it to show all my support for Gisèle Pelicot, so courageous and so dignified. Infinite respect, Madam.”

Immediately after the publication of this message, Internet users pointed out the singer’s clumsiness, some accusing him of using a tragedy to promote his song. “Dude, do you realize that you’re doing your OKLM ad on a case like this?”, “Honestly, we can’t hear your song. Your information is therefore useless and I would even say inappropriate”, “Sometimes, it’s better to say nothing huh”, we could read on X.

A few hours after Vianney’s tweet and the reactions to it, which sparked a small controversy, the singer’s account was deleted from the social network. We imagine that the artist himself is behind this closure, due to this wave of indignation. His other accounts (Instagram, Facebook), on which he has not published any message related to Gisèle Pelicot, are still active. The singer of “Je m’en vais” has not yet spoken on this subject.
