Adriana Sklenaříková Faces Serious Allegations in Custody Battle
Paris, France – Model and television personality Adriana Sklenaříková, known internationally as Adriana Karembeu, is at the center of a deeply personal and increasingly public legal battle with her estranged husband, Aram-André Ohanian. The dispute, unfolding in Paris, involves allegations of exposure to inappropriate content and potential endangerment of their seven-year-old daughter, Nina. Ohanian has filed a formal complaint with Parisian prosecutors, triggering a judicial investigation into Sklenaříková’s parental conduct. The accusations come as Sklenaříková publicly defends herself against what she describes as years of pressure and attempts to destabilize her, and as she promotes her latest book, Je t’aime parce que je t’aime et voilà tout.
The escalating conflict began to surface publicly on March 23, 2026, when Sklenaříková released a lengthy statement on Instagram detailing a pattern of alleged abuse and manipulation by Ohanian. In the post, she claims Nina has been used as a pawn in their ongoing dispute, and that she has endured “injuries, threats, false and humiliating accusations, verbal and physical violence.” Sklenaříková, who currently divides her time between Paris and Marrakech, where Nina spends much of her time with her father, stated she was compelled to break her silence to protect her daughter and assert her rights as a mother.
Allegations of Inappropriate Content and Potential Exposure
Ohanian’s complaint to authorities centers on claims that Nina had access to explicit and potentially harmful material on an iPad. According to reports in Paris Match, the content included nude images and pornography, allegedly synchronized from Sklenaříková’s own devices. Ohanian’s lawyer asserted the material blurred the lines between childhood innocence and adult sexuality, and included depictions of violence and degradation. “This is not an abuse of justice, but a step by a father who has serious concerns about the balance and well-being of his daughter,” the lawyer stated, according to reports.
Further complicating the situation, allegations have surfaced regarding messages attributed to Sklenaříková’s current partner, singer Marc Lavoine. Elle reported that messages from September 2, 2024, allegedly sent by Lavoine, referenced the presence of cocaine. These claims have added another layer of scrutiny to the case, raising questions about the environment Nina may be exposed to during her time with Sklenaříková and Lavoine.
Sklenaříková’s Response and Legal Defense
Sklenaříková’s legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing Ohanian’s actions as a deliberate attempt to discredit her during their divorce proceedings. Her lawyer, Alain Toucas-Massillon, released a statement to Agence France-Presse (AFP) calling Ohanian’s move a “desperate attempt to tarnish the mother of his child in order to gain custody.” Toucas-Massillon described the accusations as “vile” and harmful to Nina. Lavoine has publicly supported Sklenaříková, sharing her Instagram statement on his own social media accounts.
In an interview with Le Parisien, Ohanian stated he attempted to address his concerns with Sklenaříková privately for over two months before filing the official complaint, but his warnings were allegedly ignored. He maintains his actions are motivated solely by his daughter’s well-being and not by revenge.
The Ongoing Investigation and Potential Outcomes
The Paris prosecutor’s office has confirmed the opening of a formal investigation into allegations of “neglect of parental duties,” according to Franceinfo. The case has been assigned to a specialized unit within the Parisian police force. At this stage, the investigation is focused solely on the allegations of parental neglect.
The legal proceedings are unfolding against the backdrop of a protracted and contentious divorce between Sklenaříková and Ohanian. The outcome of the investigation could significantly impact custody arrangements for Nina. Experts in French family law suggest that if the allegations are substantiated, Sklenaříková could face restrictions on her access to her daughter, or even the potential loss of custody. Yet, it is crucial to remember that these are allegations at this stage, and Sklenaříková is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The next scheduled step in the legal process is a preliminary hearing before an investigating magistrate, currently scheduled for late April 2026. At that hearing, prosecutors will present their evidence, and Sklenaříková’s legal team will have the opportunity to respond. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
