Yanis Marshall victim of sexual violence
In June 2023, Yanis Marshall was a guest on the show Chez Jordan de Luxe on C8 and made serious revelations. The former Star Academy teacher spoke about the sexual violence he suffered. “I already experienced this a little younger in particular, I’m obviously not going to reveal the person, the name and all that, it’s a person in my community in any case, who is the dance community. It could happen. What I want to say about this little revelation, what I especially want to say, is for parents to be careful, to check, to observe“, he declared at the time. This Wednesday, January 17, the dancer took over his Instagram account to post heavy innuendoes.

It’s been a long time, it’s been 20 years. You can sue for defamation all you want. We all found each other, we all talk about you among ourselves. We all know how much you ruined our lives and we’re going to take care of you. I will take care of you personally. Just tell yourself that I’ll be the guy, the man responsible for all this. It matters to me that you know that. It’s time. The list is too long and that’s actually enough. So good luck, get ready because I will be merciless. Really, I want you to know” we can hear.
He then explains that he is already in contact with 12 boys who were victims, but that he accepts any other testimony, giving his email in the story. The dancer says: “I know there are a lot more of us than that, because it’s been going on for 30 years”.
