The Greg Guillotin case is becoming more serious every day. Following the complaint filed by his former partner for domestic violence and harassment , new and particularly grave elements have come to light. These include videos that have not been made public and whose content will need to be authenticated and examined by investigators.
In one of the photos, Greg Guillotin's former partner appears with black eyes, bruises on her wrist, a bruise approximately 25 centimeters long on her thigh, and very clear marks on her neck , suggesting strangulation. These are extremely serious allegations, especially since Greg Guillotin himself has already publicly admitted to having inflicted physical and psychological abuse on his partner.
Her bed was reportedly flooded while she was ill.
Another video, also not made public, allegedly shows Greg Guillotin pouring several bottles of water onto his former partner's bed. The young woman reportedly became ill and refused to get up. The videographer allegedly flooded the bed to force her to get out.
The reported incidents don't end there. During another outburst, Greg Guillotin allegedly threw several of his former partner's belongings out the window. He also reportedly smashed her phone and slammed his laptop shut on her hands with such force that the screen shattered.
These accusations, if proven, describe not just a simple couple's argument, but violent, humiliating and potentially dangerous behavior.
Beatings and surveillance already denounced in the complaint
These new elements add to a long list of allegations made by the plaintiff. She accuses Greg Guillotin of repeated physical and psychological abuse during their relationship, which began in 2019.
She specifically mentions a kick in the Maldives in 2022, a slap and kicks in Morocco in 2023, and then a punch to the eye in 2024. She also denounces insults, humiliation, denigration, and surveillance of her actions.
The young woman claims, in particular, that the cameras present in the couple's home were used to monitor her.
Violence against women cannot be trivialized, relativized, or reduced to "crises" or private problems. It constitutes a serious offense. And in the case of Greg Guillotin, one element now distinguishes this case from many others based solely on accusations: the man himself has admitted to being violent.
Greg Guillotin admitted to the violence: "I am ashamed."
After the complaint was revealed, Greg Guillotin finally publicly admitted to physical and psychological abuse against his former partner . "She suffered it. I will neither deny it nor try to justify it. I am ashamed ," he wrote. The comedian also acknowledged that this behavior was not limited to an isolated incident: "At home, on several occasions, I was also violent with the person I shared my life with."
Cyril Hanouna, who produces it: "I'm disappointed in the character."
The affair is now directly embarrassing Cyril Hanouna . Greg Guillotin is produced by H2O Productions, the presenter's production company, and participates in Tout beau, tout n9uf on W9.
Faced with the scale of the affair and especially Greg Guillotin's confession, Cyril Hanouna publicly expressed his disappointment. He explained that he initially had trouble believing the accusations against his colleague. "I didn't believe it ," he admitted on air. Before adding: "I'm disappointed in the man."
Cyril Hanouna had already declared himself "stunned" by Greg Guillotin's confession of domestic violence.
The situation is therefore becoming particularly difficult for H2O and W9. Beyond the ongoing legal proceedings, the question now arises of the professional standing given to a man who has publicly admitted to having repeatedly committed physical and psychological violence against his partner.
A mea culpa prepared with a crisis communication specialist
Greg Guillotin's apology itself raised questions. His statement wasn't just published on his social media accounts; it was also sent to the press by Florian Silnicki, a specialist in crisis communication and reputation management.
This intervention raised questions about the behind-the-scenes details of Greg Guillotin's mea culpa and the communication strategy put in place after the case broke.
Because acknowledging violence is essential, but it obviously doesn't erase it. Apologies, however carefully formulated, cannot undo the acknowledged acts or the consequences for the victim.
An investigation has been opened into habitual violence and psychological harassment.
Greg Guillotin's former partner filed a complaint on June 17 with the public prosecutor at the Évry judicial court. An investigation for habitual domestic violence and psychological harassment has been opened and entrusted to the Essonne gendarmerie group.
The complainant, aged 27, claims to have met Greg Guillotin on social media when she was 19 and he was 35. Her lawyer, Jean-Baptiste Riolacci, described "years of beatings, insults and denigration".
The justice system will now have to establish precisely the facts of each of the alleged incidents, particularly those depicted in the new videos that have not yet been made public. However, one fact has already been established by Greg Guillotin's own statements: he admits to having repeatedly subjected his former partner to physical and psychological abuse. On this point, it is no longer a matter of denial; it is his own confession. And no career, no notoriety, and no public relations strategy can trivialize violence against a woman.
