The end of the dream? Fueled by reality TV in 2017, former TV star Dylan Thiry turned full-time influencer is now at the center of a shameful investigation. Spent until recently between the drops of Booba’s attacks, in open war against the “influvoleurs”, the young man is now trapped by the rapper, but also by justice.
The Paris prosecutor’s office announced this Thursday the opening of an investigation into the management of its humanitarian association “For our children”, a few months after the first complaints for “aggravated breach of trust”. The organization is funded by online donations, some of which was embezzled by Dylan Thiry, according to allegations by his former vice president, Sandra D.
According to AFP, which consulted the complaint, two boats are being signed up: a first closed in February 2022 for more than 158,000 euros to help the children of Madagascar. And a second in October 2022, which raised more than 95,600 euros. Just before the dissolution of the association on November 15, 2022. Sandra D. claims that the influencer would have demanded that the transactions be carried out in her personal RIB.
The voices at the heart of the archive.
The case takes a new turn with Booba’s broadcast of Dylan Thiry’s voices on Twitter in late April. In two audio messages exchanged with Sandra D. (who denies having provided them to the rapper), he first mentions the possibility of helping another couple of influencers adopt a child in Madagascar, in exchange for 100,000 euros.
“One, I take a large bill and two, I’m not saying it’s for me. I say that there are about 150,000 euros of papers to pay, to settle, with the lawyers”, we hear him explain. Statements “indicating possible crimes of child trafficking”, estimated the deputy Stéphane Vojetta, who took the Paris prosecutor in stride.
In the second recording, Dylan Thiry claims to want to “save whores from being whores” by creating an MYM account for women, a platform known for its erotic and pornographic content, in exchange for part of the revenue generated.
The dissemination of these two audios, which the influencer attributes to Sandra D, caused a new complaint from the latter for “threats”.
“As long as I have your address, your last name, I would never have released it in the public square,” he said in an Instagram video. A story deleted but recorded by Sandra D.’s lawyer and seen by Tech&Co. “GOD IS GREAT what you are going to pay down here is up there (sic),” she wrote again on April 27 on Twitter.
If he acknowledges the authenticity of the audios, Dylan Thiry claims to be accused of “totally false things because they were taken out of context (sic)”.
Dropshipping and Miracle Treatments
This case is not actually the first controversy of the influencer, revealed in 2017 on the Koh-Lanta program and who subsequently participated in several other reality television shows, before leaving to settle in Dubai. Then, the Luxembourger multiplies the locations of lucrative dubious products, with a large community on Snapchat and Instagram, a practice called direct delivery.
Then, in a relationship with another reality star, Fiji, notably offered his subscribers in 2019 “21pods,” a lackluster copy of Apple’s AirPods. Sold for $69.99 by influencers, these headphones actually only cost a few dollars to make. Some netizens say that they have not even received their order. “It was like hot cakes,” he explains today, also citing the closure of his supplier in China.
Last year, the influencer once again caused controversy by trumpeting a treatment that “cures cancer cells (sic)” and that we would not find in Europe since it is “much more interesting for them than going to the hospital and calling blind.” “. She finally made the mea culpa of her in an interview with the youtuber Sam Zirah, acknowledging that it was” a mistake “.
At the same time, a trip to Turkey, organized after the earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people last February, was highly criticized on social networks, with many denouncing a “montage” video. A group of Belgians, who came to the place and who welcomed the influencer, assures that she was exhibited above all for the camera. “She took a package and pretended to carry it. And that’s it, then it cut off”, says one of them in a video.
For his part, Dylan Thiry says that he was the victim of an extortion attempt by this group of Belgians, who would have taken revenge because they would not have received money from the influencer.
A withdrawal from the networks
Dylan Thiry’s Snapchat account was closed on Monday without knowing if it was a personal decision or the social network. Sandra D.’s lawyer also asked Meta to shut down her Instagram account. Unless he takes care of it himself, as he announced on May 8.
Contacted by Tech&Co, Dylan Thiry did not respond.
