Helena Noguerra, a Belgian singer and actress, has publicly stated her indignation following the unauthorized leak of her testimony concerning alleged sexual assault by French singer Patrick Bruel. Noguerra’s account, which she had shared anonymously with investigators, was revealed by media outlets on September 2, 2026. She emphasized that she did not consent to the publication of her statements, highlighting that “consent is and remains THE subject.”
Noguerra’s testimony to judicial police this past summer detailed an alleged incident in the 2000s. Specifically, she described a scene in 2000 during the filming of the M6 show “Une journée avec,” which she hosted, where Bruel was the guest. She claims that Bruel pushed her and laid her on a table in his dressing room.
Although Noguerra has not filed a formal complaint, as the alleged events are now beyond the statute of limitations, she chose to share her experience with investigators to be added to the ongoing inquiry against Bruel. She had previously sent a handwritten letter to prosecutors in Corsica in 2022, expressing her support for other women who had accused Bruel and stating that she herself had been a victim.
Patrick Bruel has been facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and harassment. On June 10, 2026, he was charged with rape and sexual assault in connection with four cases, and designated as an “assisted witness” in four others, involving nine alleged victims between 2000 and 2019. Complaints from an additional 13 women, dating from 1992 to 2008, have also been added to the file, even if some appear to be beyond the statute of limitations. Bruel has consistently denied all allegations. His concert tour was canceled after he faced protests and calls from city mayors to do so.
