Model and former Miss France Adriana Karembeu has filed a legal complaint against her ex-partner, French businessman Aram Ohanian, accusing him of psychological violence and blackmail. The complaint was filed in Paris on March 18, 2026, according to reports from French media, including BFMTV and Le Parisien.
In her complaint, Karembeu alleges a pattern of controlling behavior and psychological abuse during their relationship, which ended in 2023. She specifically accuses Ohanian of threatening to release private information and images unless she complied with his demands, constituting alleged blackmail. The couple shares a young daughter.
Ohanian's lawyer, Me Romain Ruiz, has publicly denied the accusations, stating his client is "stunned" by the claims and asserting that Ohanian has always acted in the best interest of their child. The Paris prosecutor's office has confirmed the complaint was received and is under preliminary investigation.
Karembeu's decision to speak out follows a period of public silence. Her legal action highlights ongoing personal and legal conflicts following the end of their relationship, with the well-being of their child a central concern for both parties.
