Comedian Nawell Madani Accused of Assault: 6-Year-Old Injured After Alleged Chest Kick
Unfortunate Family Evening in Paris Leads to Investigation
Incident on the Champs-Élysées: A Quiet Evening Turns Dramatic
On Monday around 10:30 PM, a family evening on the Champs-Élysées, Paris, turned tragic. Comedian Nawell Madani was accused of assaulting Djulian, a six-year-old boy, who reportedly just wanted a photo with her, according to the family and eyewitnesses. The incident, filmed by a resident, resulted in the child being hospitalized at Necker. Madani reportedly approached the police that night and confessed that she feared a theft attempt when approached by children, leading to the alleged assault. An investigation into “violence against a minor under 15” has been launched.
From a Simple Family Dinner to Chaos
Bebethan, a single father raising his four sons, aged 6 to 13, was finishing dinner near the Champs-Élysées when their evening took an unexpected turn. Recognizing neighborhood resident Nabil, the family paused to chat. The four brothers are quite popular on TikTok, boasting over 10,000 followers for their wholesome videos and identical outfits.
It was during this moment that Nawell Madani passed by. Nabil, having previously worked as an extra for the actress, greeted her. Djulian, curious, asked his father who she was, and upon learning she was a well-known actress, sought permission to take a photo, receiving a positive response. The children often take photos with influencers at events and in public spaces, where they have had positive experiences before, noted Bebethan.
A Shocking Response to a Child’s Innocent Act
As the three older brothers approached Madani, with Djulian following, they were met with a harsh reprimand. One of the older brothers recalled Madani telling the children to stay back, creating an abrupt pause. However, Djulian, seemingly unaware of the warning, innocently continued forward, intrigued by the small dog sticking out of the actress’s handbag.
In a turn of events, witnesses claim Madani responded with aggression, allegedly kicking Djulian in the chest. Shocked and hurt, Djulian sought solace with his father, while Nabil captured Madani’s reaction on camera, as she reportedly accused the children of attempting robbery and insulted them amid the commotion.
Aftermath and Continued Medical Evaluation
The distress led to emergency services quickly transporting Djulian to Necker Hospital. Although the initial diagnosis showed no visible injuries, Djulian remained in pain, prompting his father to file a complaint at the XVIIe police station. The family returned to the hospital for further examination due to Djulian’s persisting chest pain.
Nawell Madani, who rose to fame following her time at the Jamel Comedy Club and is currently on tour with her new show “Tout Court,” has yet to respond to requests for comment.
