Added to this is the broadcast, on December 7, of compromising and even shocking images in the program “Complément d’investigation”. In this sequence, the 75-year-old actor openly sexualizes a 10-year-old girl. And if the actor Patrick Chesnais had defined these remarks as “not that serious”, the singer Lio disagrees. “ To me they are buffoons. We can’t say. […] We cannot reduce the words of Gérard Depardieu and the entire Depardieu affair to the fact that he talks about the rubbing of the clitoris of a 10-year-old girl who is… too far away to hear it.

For the singer and actress, having been a victim of sexual violence herself, the problem is much deeper. “ Everything we have been able to do on set for years, with the complicity of an entire community now under discussion, is destructive behavior. I was a victim, I’m not the only one”he first admits that he prefers not to speak more fully on the topic. “I won’t go into detail and recite names […] but I denounce a system. »
