Guillotin admits domestic violence: "I am ashamed"
YouTuber and comedian Grégory Guillotin has publicly admitted to exercising physical and psychological violence against his ex-partner, according to several French media outlets including Google News LU FR. In a statement reported notably by BFM, Ouest-France, RTL and franceinfo, Guillotin states: "I am ashamed" and "I was violent with the person who shared my life".
The move comes in the context of a complaint for domestic violence filed by his former partner. By publicly acknowledging the facts, Guillotin takes a position before any formally initiated legal proceedings.
Public acknowledgement of the facts
Guillotin, known for his humorous videos on YouTube and his stage performances, has confirmed the accusations against him without minimising them. The formulations used in his statements — "physical and psychological violence" — correspond to the terms employed in his ex-partner's complaint.
Several major French media outlets have reported the same version of the facts: the comedian did not contest the reality of the acts he is accused of. CNews directly quotes his words: "I was violent with the person who shared my life."
Complaint for domestic violence
Guillotin's ex-partner filed a complaint for domestic violence. The details of the ongoing legal proceedings — stage of investigation, any precautionary measures — were not specified by the available sources at the time of publication.
Neither Guillotin's legal defence nor representatives of the judicial authorities have publicly commented on the follow-up to this complaint.
