Domestic violence and sexual assault allegations againstGreg

Overview

French YouTuber and comedian Greg Guillotin has publicly admitted to committing physical and psychological violence against a former partner. The admission follows a complaint filed in June 2026 at the Évry judicial court, which alleges a pattern of abuse, insults, and surveillance occurring between 2019 and 2026 in France, the Maldives, and Morocco.

Guillotin released a statement and an audio message expressing shame, stating, “I will neither deny nor seek to justify them. I am ashamed.” He noted that he is currently receiving psychiatric and psychological support.

An investigation into habitual domestic violence and moral harassment has been launched by the Essonne gendarmerie. Following the news, producer Cyril Hanouna expressed shock and disappointment, indicating that continuing to work with the comedian would be complicated due to the gravity of the allegations.

On September 28, 2026, Guillotin was taken into police custody in Palaiseau. While the initial investigation by the Évry Prosecutor’s Office focuses on the June complaint regarding domestic violence and surveillance, a second, distinct investigation has been opened by the Nanterre Prosecutor’s Office. This new inquiry follows a complaint filed in early September by another former partner, who has accused Guillotin of two counts of sexual assault occurring during their relationship.

Guillotin is scheduled to stand trial at the Évry criminal court on November 27, 2026. He faces charges of habitual domestic violence that resulted in a 30-day period of total incapacity for work. The prosecution has requested judicial control, including a ban on contacting the victim and an obligation to undergo medical care. Guillotin’s lawyer, Tom Michel, stated that the custody was a planned measure and that Guillotin intends to “fully respond to the facts alleged” and “assume his responsibilities” during the investigation.
