00:00Most sexual assaults and rapes are committed by close relatives.

00:06Benoît Jaco, he first put himself in my close circle.

00:10He has become a member of my family for 25 years,

00:15even though he assaulted me in private.

00:20I think that by becoming an actress, I felt really lucky to get out of my environment,

00:25to also have adults as friends, connections.

00:31There was such a connection that it was an entry point to making me what they wanted.

00:37And in fact, being the perfect actress is being the perfect malleable object.

00:43So, the more malleable I was, and even more so to the people I wanted to help as much as possible in their film,

00:51the more I was an object, the more I was humiliated, crushed at the same time,

00:55because not at all considered as a person.

00:58And that, the film industry, is a small, privileged environment, but it illustrates.

01:03Same, this world, to what extent women, in the greatest intimacy of the couple,

01:08are not taken into consideration at all.

01:11They are always an object, deeply, naturally and in spite of themselves.

01:15It is even more reinforced if the girl is young and lives in an adult environment.

01:20which is normally a professional environment in which we have confidence.

01:24It is important to know that most sexual assaults and rapes are committed by close relatives.

01:32Benoît Jaco, he first put himself in my close circle.

01:36He gained my trust.

01:38And today, it is also very hard to carry this word,

01:46because he has become, in some way, a member of my family,

01:51even though he assaulted me in private.

01:55He didn't do it with violence.

01:56The difficulty of this kind of toxic relationship,

02:00is that in fact, they are not only toxic.

02:02They also carry us in a certain way.

02:04It was Benoît Jaco also the first man to say

02:10"You're awesome and it looks great too."

02:13Even though in energy he crushed me because he made me lose my own opinion,

02:20despite everything, it carried me.

02:22And it is the ambiguity, the difficulty of naming this kind of relationship

02:26that destroy you, but at the same time also others,

02:30to understand how we could have been destroyed by this kind of relationship,

02:34because they also carried us.

02:37Yes, Benoît Jaco contacted me after the Richoudi de Cotterèche series.

02:40because he wanted my support.

02:42And indeed, he didn't understand who I was.

02:46I think he never understood it.

02:48And this kind of man,

02:50Well, he poses the image he wants to have of women,

02:54or even human beings in general,

02:56and don't know who the person in front of them is.

02:59When I saw her in December,

03:01I told him that I was in great solidarity with Judith Cotterèche,

03:07obviously, because she is a woman,

03:09and because I imagine what she went through.

03:11So it was moral above all.

03:13The aggressors never take into consideration

03:16the victims' pain,

03:19what they destroyed,

03:20because they have no affect.

03:23They live their lives without feelings,

03:27without fragility.

03:28So they can't imagine

03:30how one person can be affected by another.

03:34When women talk about a trial,

03:36either they dissociate,

03:38they have a great distance from their ordeal,

03:41which means that they do not embody the pain they have experienced.

03:45Either they are in pain,

03:47and we don't want to see her,

03:48we don't want to hear them,

03:49because it's cumbersome,

03:50it's too palpable.

03:51So, it is actually necessary that women,

03:54they have an immense distance,

03:56or dissociation in order to be able to talk about their drama.

04:00And at the same time,

04:01if they also tell themselves that they don't have their emotions inside,

04:04we think it didn't affect them,

04:06and that maybe they are lying.

04:07So, there really is a whole welcome to be done.

04:10There are obviously women who have had trials,

04:13but who, when they talk about it,

04:15they have already come such a long way,

04:17and they are already such queens,

04:19but there is also a huge road ahead,

04:21of the people around them,

04:23and who understand that,

04:25and who welcome the word.

04:27Sometimes we doubt the word of women,

04:28but they have everything to lose when they speak.

04:32Often because it is a close entourage

04:34who will break up a family,

04:35and they perceive,

04:37and that's what happens,

04:38that they are ultimately alone.

04:40I am lucky to have my sister,

04:43with whom I wrote the book,

04:44to have my brothers,

04:45to still have parents who support me,

04:48and once again,

04:49I bounce off the surroundings,

04:51how important it is to listen to women,

04:54and even when it is difficult to listen to them.
