This is the influencer ex-boyfriend of a French OnlyFans model whose shock death is being probed by police after she was found in mysterious circumstances surrounded by blood and canisters of nitrous oxide.
The discovery of Juli Luxie’s lifeless body at her flat in Corbeil-Essonnes, in the southern suburbs of Paris, on March 6 sparked an outpouring of grief.
When officers entered her locked apartment, there were traces of Juli’s blood on the floor and multiple bottles of nitrous oxide – a chemical compound popularly known as laughing gas or ‘hippie crack’ which can cause unconsciousness and suffocation.
Among those speaking of their shock was her ex Jaoued Daouki, now 37, who is well known in France where he has a million Instagram followers alone.
Mr Daouki – who lives nearby – published a series of emotional tributes to Juli on his Instagram account, saying ‘You left without saying goodbye’ and ‘I will always love you’.
He became a controversial figure after he first started dating Juli when she was just 16 and he was more than twice her age.
Since then Daouki has been involved in other high-profile incidents including a rape accusation and an online fraud investigation which led to him being fined.
And just a week after Juli’s death he publicly complained of police harassment.

An Instagram Story posted on by Daouki accused the police of ‘swatting’ – the practice of making a hoax call to the police so that armed officers will be dispatched to someone’s address.
A note handwritten by Mr Daouki reads: ‘MESSAGE FOR THE POLICE: We are the victims of swatting everyday.
‘Thank you for not bringing the door down, but ring. It’s the third time that the forces of order have come unnecessarily following hoaxes.’
It’s unclear whether police wanted to speak to him in relation to Juli’s death or on another matter – and neither he nor the police have clarified this.
In the same note, Mr Daouki also refers to online followers causing a nuisance.
He writes: ‘MESSAGE FOR SUBSCRIBERS No need to ring my bell at my door. No need to ring at my door, please respect my neighbourliness, no picture will be taken.’
Like Juli – who had hundreds of thousands of followers online – Mr Daouki is a hugely successful content creator.
His Instagram account has a million followers, while his streaming and video platform on YouTube, called TheKair178, had more than four million subscribers.

Following online abuse aimed at the 17-year age gap, Mr Daouki confirmed his love for Juli on Twitter, now rebranded as X.
He said her parents were happy with the on-off relationship, which was legal under French law.
It’s unclear when he and Juli split up but they were not believed to be in a relationship at the time of her death.
There was further controversy for Mr Daouki in 2023, when Paris prosecutors opened a rape investigation after a woman claimed to have been attacked by him.
In a case that was widely publicised in France, the woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – said she had met Mr Daouki at the five-star Peninsula Paris Hotel.
They had a drunken night out together when – it was alleged – Mr Daouki drove her home, and then raped her while she was unconscious after putting drugs in her alcohol.
Mr Daouki vehemently denied any wrongdoing, and to date has not been charged in relation to the incident, an investigating source told MailOnline.

‘I strongly reject these allegations and ask for your understanding during this difficult time,’ Mr Daouki told his online fans.
He said he had consensual sex with the woman, and there were no drugs involved – a fact that was confirmed by medical tests on the woman, according to the investigating source.
In December, Mr Daouki agreed to pay a €45,000 (£38,000) fine after being investigated by a French government fraud prevention unit.
The DGCCRF (General Directorate for Competition, Consumer Affairs, and Fraud Control) said Mr Daouki was guilty of a ‘deceptive commercial practice’ involving underhand publicity for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
Acknowledging his wrongdoing, Mr Daouki said: ‘Like many influencers, I accept my mistake in rushing to make certain product placements without further researching the applicable laws.’
Juli Luxie – whose real name was Julie Pospieszny and who used multiple other aliases including Julie Diablotine – was said to be suffering from severe depression at the time of her death.

She had not been answering phone calls before being reported missing by her father.
An investigation was launched soon afterwards, with an autospy ordered to establish the cause of Juli’s death.
The fact that her flat was locked from the inside, and nobody else was present, suggests no foul play was involved, according to investigating sources.
Nitrous oxide is an anaesthetic, but it is also used recreationally, when it is referred to as ‘laughing gas’.
Police in France did not immediately offer any information about alleged visits to Mr Daouki’s home in relation to the death of Juli Luxie.
