Jeremstar Freed After Nîmes Bullring Protest, Summoned to Court on Intrusion Charge

PETA says the arena intervention was months in the making, with video of his removal widely shared.

Overview

  • The influencer spent roughly 48 hours in police custody following the Sept. 19 action during the Feria des Vendanges.
  • Prosecutors issued a COPJ for intrusion into a sports venue disrupting a competition, with no hearing date disclosed.
  • Two accompanying activists were also released and received the same summons, according to PETA and the Nîmes prosecutor.
  • Video posted by PETA shows him entering the ring with a “F*ck la corrida” banner before security dragged him out and police detained him.
  • PETA says it coordinated the protest for months and condemned the custody; separately, Jeremstar has an appeal hearing in Paris this week on an undeclared work accusation.
