Jordan De Luxe Alleges Sexual Assault in New Autobiography

Host Reveals Assault Incident in Upcoming Book

In his new book, "What are you for? - candid confidences," set to be released on Wednesday, April 24, C8 host Jordan De Luxe shares a disturbing experience of being sexually assaulted by a well-known personality during his first night in Paris 14 years ago. The assault allegedly occurred after he was invited to stay over when he could not find transportation home.

Details of the Assault

During a recent interview on Sud Radio's "Parlons vérité," De Luxe recounted the events of that night. He described how, after attending a party with Geneviève de Fontenay, he ended up accepting an offer to stay at the home of the personality due to the unavailability of public transport. De Luxe claims he was served a drink that led to him losing consciousness and later waking up naked with a used condom nearby, suggesting he had been sexually assaulted.

De Luxe's Reluctance to Pursue Legal Action

Despite the severity of the allegations, Jordan De Luxe has expressed his decision not to file a complaint or reveal the identity of the alleged assailant, who is described as a former actor on an M6 series. He explained his choice by emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about such assaults on men and confronting his attacker indirectly through his public statements.

Public Reaction and Further Comments

The host has been vocal about his experiences, stressing the need for openness about such incidents, especially given his role in probing into the lives of others through his television work. His revelations have sparked discussions about the prevalence of sexual assault in the entertainment industry, not just among women but also men.

Autobiographical Account Hopes to Raise Awareness

In his autobiography, De Luxe does not use the word "rape" but describes an incident that strongly implies it. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can contribute to the broader dialogue on sexual violence and support others who may have experienced similar traumas.
