In the wake of the revelation of the complaint filed by his ex-partner for domestic violence and harassment , Greg Guillotin breaks his silence. The comedian and YouTuber admits to having inflicted physical and psychological abuse on the woman with whom he shared his life for seven years. In a lengthy statement, he apologizes, says he is "ashamed" of his behavior, and reveals that he has been seeing a psychiatrist and then a psychologist specializing in working with perpetrators of domestic violence for several years.
"She suffered them. I will neither deny them nor try to justify them."
This public statement contrasts sharply with Greg Guillotin's silence when the case was first revealed. His former partner, now 27 years old, filed a complaint on June 17, 2026, with the public prosecutor at the Évry judicial court in Essonne. She accuses the creator of "The Worst Intern" of repeated physical and psychological abuse during their relationship, between 2019 and 2026.
This time, Greg Guillotin explicitly acknowledges some of the allegations made by his former partner : "My former partner filed a complaint against me for physical and psychological abuse. She suffered it. I will neither deny it nor try to justify it. I am ashamed."
The comedian continued by directly contrasting his public image with his private life: “For years, I made millions of people laugh. At home, on several occasions, I was also violent with the person I shared my life with. Both are true.” Then he added: “Both were me. I never want to be the latter again.”
A psychiatrist followed by a psychologist specializing in perpetrators of domestic violence
Greg Guillotin states that his therapeutic process began before the end of his relationship. According to his statement, he started seeing a psychiatrist about a year before their separation. He explains that he then undertook specific work on his violent behavior: "I then began regular sessions with a psychologist specializing in working with perpetrators of domestic violence."
The videographer explains that this follow-up continues today. "It teaches you to look at what you've done without looking away, and to do the necessary work to ensure it never happens again. I still go there today. I'll go for as long as it takes."
This admission comes at a time when the accusations from his former partner are particularly serious. In her complaint, she describes physical violence, but also insults, humiliation, denigration, and a surveillance system that she presents as contributing to a situation of control.
"I owe an apology to the woman who shared my life for seven years."
Greg Guillotin then directly apologized to his former partner, without naming her : "To the woman who shared my life for seven years, I owe an apology. I offer it here, once again, publicly, even though I know it may seem trivial."
Kicks, slaps, punches: the other incidents will be discussed with investigators.
Greg Guillotin has not addressed each point of the specific allegations in the complaint. His ex-partner claims, in particular, that she was kicked in the Maldives in December 2022. During a trip to Morocco in 2023, she alleges that he slapped her, kicked her several times, and had a bowl of cereal thrown in her face. She also reports being punched in the eye in 2024. These specific accusations remain to be proven in court.
Regarding these incidents and the other matters covered by the proceedings, Greg Guillotin announced that he will now reserve his explanations for the justice system: "Regarding the other matters covered by the complaint, I will explain myself to the investigators, not here. I will answer to the justice system at each stage, without evading anything, and I will not speak about this matter publicly again before the end of the proceedings."
He concluded: "Much will be said about me. I will not respond to it. All I could say is here. The rest is up to me."
A complaint was filed on June 17 in Évry
His former partner filed a complaint on June 17 with the public prosecutor in Évry. When the case became public, the prosecutor's office indicated that "no investigative service [had] been involved" at that stage.
The young woman claims to have met Greg Guillotin on social media when she was 19 and he was 35. Their relationship then lasted approximately seven years. She places the first instances of physical violence she alleges in April 2022, in their apartment in the Paris region.
Her lawyer, Jean-Baptiste Riolacci, stated that his client had denounced "years of beatings, insults and denigration" and assured that he had transmitted to the prosecutor's office the evidence gathered in support of her complaint.
The complaint also includes allegations of home surveillance.
The proceedings are not solely focused on physical violence. Greg Guillotin's former partner also denounces a climate of control and surveillance.
Cameras were reportedly installed in the couple's home, initially to monitor a tradesman during renovations. According to the complainant, Greg Guillotin then used them to remotely control some of her actions and to criticize her when she was resting or when he felt certain tasks were not being carried out to his satisfaction.
The case follows accusations of domestic violence against Jimmy Mohamed , which the doctor has denied. France Télévisions has since decided not to reinstate Jimmy Mohamed on the program " Le Mag de la santé ".
In Greg Guillotin's case, the situation is now different from when the complaint was first filed: the videographer has publicly admitted to committing physical and psychological violence against his former partner. The courts will now have to examine the various allegations in the complaint and determine precisely any potential criminal liability.
Yes, it's definitely W9 , so the parallel with Stéphane Plaza is particularly relevant since both are linked to the M6 group . And The Worst Intern is indeed produced by H2O Productions, Cyril Hanouna 's company : after C8, the show moved to W9 in April 2026.
After Stéphane Plaza, the M6 group faces a new sensitive case
Greg Guillotin's confession has placed the M6 group in a particularly delicate situation. In February 2025, following Stéphane Plaza's suspended sentence of twelve months' imprisonment for domestic violence, M6 immediately decided to cancel all programs featuring the presenter , without waiting for the outcome of his appeal. Just over a year later, Greg Guillotin joined another channel within the group: "Le Pire Stagiaire" ( The Worst Intern ), long broadcast on C8 and produced by H2O Productions, Cyril Hanouna's company, premiered on W9 on April 1, 2026. The legal situations are obviously not identical: Stéphane Plaza was convicted by a court, while Greg Guillotin has not yet been convicted and still has to answer to investigators regarding the allegations in the complaint . But a difference now exists: Greg Guillotin himself has publicly admitted to repeatedly subjecting his former partner to physical and psychological abuse. It remains to be seen what position W9, and more broadly the M6 group, will adopt regarding the continued broadcast of its programs.
