Feminist activists disrupted Guillaume Pley’s stage show at the Adidas Arena in Paris on Sunday, chanting accusations against the digital media founder who has faced press investigations into past messages sent to minors.
The protest unfolded during the «Legend Tour», a live theatrical adaptation of Pley’s digital interview platform Legend, TV Magazine reported. As demonstrators shouted «Guillaume Pley agresseur», security personnel intervened and escorted the activists out of the venue.
«Merci les filles… On vous a attendues toute la tournée», Pley told the audience after the disruption, according to journalists from AFP present at the scene. The management team behind Legend did not immediately respond to requests for comment from AFP.

The disruption follows a series of investigative reports published earlier in the year. On August 5, Les Inrocks published testimonies from former employees alleging a hostile, racist, and sexist workplace environment at Legend, claims that Pley has strongly denied.
The same publication detailed communications between Pley and two fans initiated when the individuals were 14 and 15 years old, with the host nearly twice their age during his tenure at NRJ. The World subsequently reported on another young woman who said that Pley, when she was 14, raised the topic of a three-way encounter.
While acknowledging that certain messages were inappropriate, Pley has initiated defamation lawsuits against the media outlets involved. He has also contended that his social media accounts were co-managed by his staff members.
Founded by Pley in 2023 following his career on NRJ, Legend employs approximately 40 people and ranks among France’s most prominent interview podcasts. The current tour continues to draw thousands of attendees despite the ongoing scrutiny surrounding its founder.
