Singer Patrick Bruel is under investigation for multiple sexual assault allegations, including a new complaint filed on 10 July by a former 16‑year‑old model. The accusations have sparked extensive media coverage in France.

Former Miss France 2001, Élodie Gossuin, appeared on IsaTV and said Bruel “has always been respectful with me.” She recounted meeting him several times when he served on the Miss France jury and on variety shows, adding that she had heard other women’s testimonies but did not observe any inappropriate behavior herself.
