Known to the general public since 2015 and his remarkable participation in “The Voice Kids”, Bila Hassani is today one of the imposed figures of French song. And all the chains tear off his presence! n saw him participate in “Drag Race France”, more certainly in Eurovision where he rose to sixteenth position thanks to the title “King“ and, since Friday September 9, sat among the jury of “Dance with the stars” on TF1. If he arouses the admiration of many fans, the singer also unleashes harsh criticism from “haters” who even go so far as to threaten him with death, for his fierce pro LGBT positions and his refusal to belong to a gender. .
“someone I trusted”
Moreover, he inaugurates his portrait this Sunday, September 11 with Audrey Crespo-Marat by: “I like to think to myself that it is he, or she, it is the same thing.” But if the artist has agreed to participate in this interview, that’s for another topic. He decided to come out of silence and talk about the rape he suffered three years ago. “It’s something that’s been haunting me since 2019.” Bilal continues by specifying that that day, he had gone out with someone from his circle, “someone I trusted”. “We left in the evening. And I came back from that evening with him. I had had two or three drinks, but I didn’t feel what you feel when you only drink two or three drinks. I was clearly under the influence of a substance that I hadn’t wanted to take” says the singer who has just celebrated his 23rd birthday.
“Don’t ask questions, don’t say anything, move on”
Back home, Bilal Hassani explains that he started having “blackouts”: “And I woke up, and it was happening, which can be translated as a sexual assault. It was rape. So”. When he woke up the next morning, his alleged attacker was still present…in his bed. “I said to myself: ‘Don’t ask questions, don’t say anything, move on, move on’”, he continues, then “certain” that this person had abused him. If he spoke about this rape to his relatives, Bilal Hassani specifies that he “could not” file a complaint, not feeling the courage to “talk about it in public”. “And that’s the only time I’m going to do it,” he concluded so as not to “give a new string to feed the hatred” he already receives. “If I had filed a complaint, it would have been known, fairly quickly, and it would have become THE subject,” he finally analyzes today.
