Between December 8 and 9, 2025, Jimmy Mohamed‘s wife, Souailla, posted and then deleted messages on Instagram accusing him of "psychological abuse." Triggered by a segment aired on RTL, the sequence gained traction on social media. She claims to act out of exhaustion after 15 years of marriage. At this stage, no legal proceedings are mentioned, and the doctor has not responded publicly.
A story that stands out under an RTL excerpt
On 12/08/2025, in the morning, an excerpt from a segment by Jimmy Mohamed on RTL circulates on Instagram. The doctor praises the benefits of a dog for teenagers’ mental health. Under this content, Souailla Mohamed, his wife, reacts. She emphasizes the importance of considering how to help a victim of psychological abuse. These abuses are inflicted by her husband. Moreover, she specifies that he is a doctor. Who goes so far as to try to make her believe she is hallucinating? The tone is set. The intervention struggles to remain discreet: stories follow one another, then disappear a few hours later. The screenshots, however, spread widely via specialized accounts.
Presumption of innocence: at this stage, these are public accusations attributed to Souailla Mohamed, relayed on social media. No complaint or legal proceedings are mentioned in the sources consulted. Jimmy Mohamed has not reacted publicly, according to the media that tried to contact him.
What the messages published on Instagram say
In her stories on 12/08/2025, Souailla Mohamed claims to be a victim of "psychological abuse." She mentions attempts to make her believe she "has hallucinations," akin to moral harassment within the couple (gaslighting). She then contrasts her husband’s public discourse with her daily life. On one hand, she receives regular advice on nutrition, mental health, or pregnancy. On the other, she presents this as private discrepancies. She shares photos showing the inside of a car filled with snacks, chips, sodas, chocolate bars, and frozen pizzas. According to her account, these purchases are "hidden" in the vehicle. This goes against the recommendations she sees on air or in bookstores.
Throughout the messages, she recounts having cooked "healthy", earned a degree, and supported her husband’s weight loss. All this, she says, while he would bring "junk food" out of sight. These publications will be deleted during the day. In the meantime, Aqababe and other celebrity news accounts archive and disseminate them.
Useful reminder: these elements come exclusively from statements attributed to Souailla Mohamed on Instagram and their coverage by the celebrity press. They are reported here conditionally.
A follow-up message and a story of exhaustion
On 12/09/2025, in the evening, Souailla Mohamed publishes a new message. She describes a moment of impulsivity. "After 15 years of marriage and 3 children, if I have reached this point, it’s because I was at the end of my rope," she writes in essence. She claims to have lost a lot of weight in recent months. Her followers had noticed that "things weren’t right," she implies. She highlights a dissonance between public image and private reality, saying that social media "feeds the ego." Furthermore, she believes they distort reality. At the same time, she assures that her husband’s nutritional advice "is no less valid." She invites people to avoid ultra-processed products, distinguishing professional speech from the private life recounted.
Silence from the doctor and media frenzy
Entertainment shows and TV news sites mention the sequence and say they have requested a reaction from Jimmy Mohamed. No public response is reported at this stage. The matter remains confined to social media and celebrity media: no complaint filed nor known investigation is mentioned by the outlets covering the story.
Legal principle: in France, the presumption of innocence applies until a final court decision. Any presentation of the facts must therefore remain cautious and attributed.

Who is Jimmy Mohamed?
A general practitioner, Jimmy Mohamed has become one of the faces of health popularization on television and radio. He hosts le *Mag de la Santé*** on **France 5 and regularly appears on RTL, where he delivers health segments. His strong media presence is supported by books, conferences, and a knack for pedagogy.
What psychological abuse within a couple entails
The term psychological abuse refers to repeated behaviors aimed at humiliating, isolating, devaluing, or controlling the partner: degrading remarks, emotional blackmail, threats, surveillance, manipulation. In common language, "gaslighting" describes a form of organized doubt of the other’s perception ("you dreamed it," "you’re making it up," etc.). Legally, France recognizes and sanctions domestic violence (within the couple). These include physical, sexual, economic, or psychological violence. Texts, case law, and practical resources are available on Service-Public.fr. Procedures and timelines vary, so it is advisable to document the alleged facts (messages, testimonies, medical certificates). Moreover, it is important to seek guidance from competent structures. Psychological abuse within the couple is also discussed.
Practical references and help numbers
- 3919 – Violences Femmes Info: a free, anonymous, and 24/7 number for listening, informing, and guiding. The 3919 is for any victim, including those identified as battered women.
- 17 (police/gendarmerie) or 114 (SMS and video for the deaf and hard of hearing) in case of emergency or immediate danger.
- Support platforms: local associations, CIDFF, professional orders (legal and medical support).
Nota bene: these contacts are provided in the public interest. They do not prejudge the truthfulness of the accusations mentioned in this case.
Chain reactions: social media, media, and public opinion
The narrative crafted by Souailla Mohamed finds a conducive ecosystem: Instagram, X, and celebrity media accelerate the dissemination of content, producing instant media coverage. The images of a car cluttered with ultra-processed products capture the imagination. They condense, in a tableau, the gap she denounces between public discourse and private behavior. At the same time, the quick deletion of stories adds a layer of opacity: captures, reposts, comments all circulate, sometimes out of context, depending on each person’s familiarity with ephemeral formats.
This sequence questions how the digital space creates social proof. An assertion anchors itself there through sharing, liking, and capturing. This often happens faster than an allegation can be verified. Hence several principles: attribute each statement and multiply material verifications. Then, recall the presumption of innocence and offer a right of reply. Finally, prohibit any hasty deduction.
Societal issues: informing about accusations without harm
The sequence highlights a journalistic challenge: reporting on private accusations made on social media, without prejudging the judicial outcome. Hence several principles: attribute each statement and multiply material verifications. Then, recall the presumption of innocence and offer a right of reply. Finally, prohibit any hasty deduction. Ephemeral formats (stories) produce rapid but fragile social proof, the exposure of a media personality increases its impact. The challenge is to distinguish the alleged fact, the image, and the law.
What does the law say about psychological abuse?
Criminal law does not specifically mention "psychological abuse," but punishes moral harassment within the couple (article 222-33-2-1 of the Penal Code): repeated remarks or behaviors degrading living conditions and affecting physical or mental health. Penalties incurred: up to 5 years imprisonment (aggravating factors: incapacity > 8 days, minor present); 10 years if harassment leads to a suicide attempt or a suicide of the victim.
In civil matters, the judge can issue a protection order according to articles 515-9 and following of the Civil Code. Sometimes, this order is accompanied by contact prohibitions or eviction from the home.
Public policies: from 3919 to anti-approach bracelet
The public response combines reception ("3919"), technological tools, and judicial measures. The danger phone and the anti-approach bracelet (BAR) are intended for high-risk situations. A synthesis from the Ministry of Justice (2025) highlights a rapid deployment in nine months. Additionally, it mentions a gradual increase and a mainly criminal use. Only 2% of BARs in progress as of January 15, 2024 had been issued in civil matters. The study also points out resource constraints and technical challenges of monitoring.
