The respected director Benoît Jacquot is becoming the face of the French #MeToo movement. Judith Godrèche reported the crime of rape against a minor to the department dealing with the protection of children and youth. The actress claims that Jacquot began raping her when she was 14. The case was reported by the French daily “La Monde”.
They started being a couple when she was 14. Now she has revealed what it really looked like
Interestingly, the 51-year-old French cinema star was in a relationship with Jacquot in the late 1980s. Godrèche lived with Jacquot for six years, and during that time they created two films: “Les Mendiants” (1988) and “Disenchantment” (1990). They stopped being a couple when the actress was only twenty years old. Now she has issued a special statement in which she makes it clear that she was manipulated at that time.
It is a story similar to that of kidnapped children. I wish Benoît would then accept being my friend instead of usurping me. I didn’t want his body. He quickly disgusted me
– we read. Last year, the actress created the autobiographical series “Icon of French Cinema”, the main character of which is a woman who is worried about her daughter because she is dating a much older man. While promoting the production, the director made it clear that she had similar experiences, but initially she did not want to reveal the identity of the real senior director.
It was only on January 6 that she decided to reveal this name in an Instagram post. “The little girl inside me can no longer remain silent. Her name is Benoît Jacquot… She is threatening to sue me for defamation,” she wrote.
The director pleads not guilty and claims that their relationship was based on shared love. He said the same thing in 2011 in the documentary “Les Ruses du Désir: L’interdit” by Gérard Miller. The French prosecutor’s office only confirms that on February 6, a report was received about the crime of rape against a minor. He faces up to twenty years in prison.
