Guillaume Pley, former NRJ host and figure from the online media platform "Legend," has announced that he is filing a defamation lawsuit. This decision comes after several media reports highlighted testimonies and controversial conversations regarding his interactions with underage female fans.

The allegations against him raise questions about his management and relationships with these young girls. Pley intends to respond to these accusations, which have taken a legal turn following their publication in multiple media outlets.
