On Wednesday night, the soloist Adrian Pleșca, known as Artan, sent on Facebook “some explanations about the unfortunate evening” on Monday in a Bucharest restaurant, after which a mother accused him of “harassing” her 18-year-old daughter and then went “to another young girl, whom he also kissed on the cheek, also without her consent”.
“I'm using this video to tell you that I'm very sorry. Sometimes, because of the diagnosis, because of the treatment I'm taking, sometimes more bizarre things happen to me, which only those who know me very well get over easily. Otherwise, in public, I'm sometimes misunderstood,” the artist declared in a video message.
He did not mention the “diagnosis” nor the “treatment” he was referring to.
“I am very sorry, I ask the injured parties to forgive me, and to know that I am struggling with my problem. From now on, my colleagues will no longer let me express my ideas alone and will be by my side,” concluded Artan.
In a post on social networks, the mother of an 18-year-old girl accused Adrian Pleșca, known by the stage name Artan, of “harassing” her daughter at an event in a restaurant in Bucharest and then going “to another young girl, whom he also kissed on the cheek, also without her consent.”
Contacted by HotNews.ro, Artan had initially said that he kissed a “young and pretty girl”, reasoning “that I saw her more like this, more thoughtful”.
On Wednesday, the Capital Police announced that “it has officially reported the issues reported in the online environment, in order to establish the factual situation”. The institution specified that, until this moment, “no criminal complaint has been filed and there is no direct notification from the people involved”.
Also on Wednesday, the representatives of nJOY Garden & Club, the place where the incident took place, said that they learned about what happened on social networks and that they dissociate “firmly from any manifestations of this kind and any form of unfairness”.
