This Thursday evening, Lady Gaga lit up the LDLC Arena. Spotlights, chills, iconic hits… everything was there for an unforgettable night. But around 10 PM, the atmosphere took a strange turn for two spectators. Lévent, who came to fully enjoy the show, suddenly found himself surrounded by four security guards. Two female spectators claimed that he had hit them. No witness confirmed this, and his companion Sylvain asserts the opposite, but the accusation was enough to trigger a heavy-handed intervention.
A shocking violent expulsion
The spectator recounts a brutal and humiliating evacuation. Dragged out of the pit, according to his companion Sylvain, Lévent was expelled like a criminal. “I was thrown out like a filthy person when I hadn't done anything,” he shares with us, still in shock. He talks about a “sweeping move,” five security guards on him, and even being choked to immobilize him.

Too happy? Too tall?
The couple is criticizing the hasty management and accuses the LDLC Arena of ruining their evening. Sylvain says he's a direct witness: there was no violence, just a guy enjoying a concert, maybe a bit too tall, maybe a bit too enthusiastic, without a phone in hand. One of his friends adds: “Just imagining L’événement hitting someone, especially a girl, is completely absurd!” The intervention, on the other hand, seems completely excessive.

This Friday morning, his body shows some bruises from the rough arrest. “You ruined the evening I had been looking forward to for so long. I paid 220 euros for this,” he wrote to us. “I’m disgusted for life with concerts! What was supposed to be a dream evening turned into an absolute nightmare, you can’t dance at concerts anymore.” He even mentioned feeling “lost faith in humanity.”
On their side, the LDLC Arena wanted to respond: “The LDLC Arena declines any responsibility in this matter and is at the disposal of the relevant authorities should video recordings need to be provided.”
