Patrick Bruel strongly denies all the allegations while his fans continue to support him.
Fifteen new testimonies implicate Patrick Bruel
Patrick Bruel is facing a new wave of media turbulence. According to an investigation published by Mediapart on May 7, 2026, fifteen women accuse the singer of inappropriate behavior or alleged sexual assaults. The testimonies involve events that allegedly took place between 1991 and 2019, coming from women of various backgrounds such as a journalist, a singer, an extra, and a former model. Some mention non-consensual sexual relations. One witness also claims she was a minor at the time of the alleged events. Even though the described situations vary in gravity, they all point to a lack of consent according to the women’s statements.
A testimony from a performer at Enfoirés reignites controversy
Among the testimonies reported by Mediapart, Camille’s story stands out. The young woman recounts an incident that allegedly occurred in 2012 after a rehearsal of the Enfoirés. At the age of 21 at the time, she explains that Patrick Bruel invited her to his dressing room. According to her account, a security guard then intervened with the phrase: “Patrick, not her, she’s a performer.” This testimony has sparked reactions on social media today. The scene described by the young woman raises new questions about the singer’s alleged professional behavior. Several internet users believe this story strengthens the seriousness of the accusations against the artist. In response to these new revelations, Patrick Bruel strongly denies the allegations. Contacted by Mediapart, his lawyers, Maîtres Christophe Ingrain and Céline Lasek, consider the testimonies “sometimes contradictory or incoherent.” The singer also claims he has “never used his fame or position to obtain sexual relationships.”
