Insulted and harassed for several months on Twitter and Instagram by rapper Booba, Magali Berdah can’t take it anymore. The agent of many reality TV stars opened up about her situation in an interview with the Parisian, Tuesday, May 24. “I am overwhelmed by events, disappointed and in extreme distress” she said sorry. A situation that has become totally unbearable for the native of Lyon. The rapper criticizes him in particular for representing “a threat to young people“.
“I have no recourse but justice“, she confided. This explains in particular her report to the public prosecutor of Marseille for “cyberharassment and slanderous denunciation”. She also assigned her stalker in order to have her account banned. But the wife of case went unanswered…” I asked social media managers to intervene, like Instagram, but he does not answer me, he is at the Cannes Film Festival“, she said.
Lax justice?
A laxity noticed by his lawyer. “The magistrates are not sufficiently trained, and the legislation is not tough enough, the procedures are too long. Cyberstalkers only risk fines, and they don’t care“, she explains. “I would have preferred to be harassed in the street, because at least I could have called 17 and the police would come to my aid”, notably ironically Magali Berdah in the face of this legal incompetence.
“I fear for my daughters”
Magali Berdah feels powerless in the face of the rapper’s gigantic notoriety. “He’s untouchable, he lives in Miami, and he’s got massive punching power.“. As a reminder, he has more than 5 million followers on Twitter. Many fans of the artist have therefore sided with their idol by harassing the artistic agent. “It’s no longer a life, I haven’t slept for three nights. I’m just crying, I want it to stop“, she said, totally exhausted and overwhelmed by the events. She is especially worried about her safety and that of her children. “Today, I fear for my daughters when they go out in the street. Booba is having fun, but outside there are cranks“, she thus declared.
Booba, the one nicknamed “the Duke of Boulogne” is a great regular in clashes on the networks. He had notably argued with rapper Vald on Twitter a few weeks ago. A real cockfight to find out who is the best artist. He attacked many public figures such as the Belgian singer Stromae last January or even more recently Matthieu Delormeau, the columnist of Do not touch My TVwhich he referred to as “sexual whack” and of “sociopath “.”Booba treats Gims’ wife as a laying hen, he has been harassing her for years for no reason“, also recalls Magali Berdah. “Where are the women’s associations fighting against sexism? Everything is visible, everything is public, and no one is moving” did she rise up in the columns of the Parisian.
