“He kissed me forcefully.” Anna Mouglalis and Isilde Le Besco, Jacques Doillon’s other accusers.

The proclaimed heirs of the new wave have found themselves in the #MeToo storm. After Benoit Jacot, the film director Jacques Doillon is under the fire of accusations and in the eyes of justice. On February 8, on France Inter, Judith Godrech repeated her accusations of abuse and violence against Benoit Jacque, twenty-five years her senior, who managed her on screen and maintained a relationship with her for several years without hiding it. 14 years old. The 51-year-old actress also accused 79-year-old Jacques Doillon at the microphone of journalist Sonia Devillers. Bringing facts that date back to filming The 15-year-old girlA film directed by Jacques Doillon when Judith Godrech was that age and in a relationship with Benoit Jacquet.

Back at France Inter, he narrated an intimate scene with Jacques Doillon in the presence of Jane Birkin, the director’s companion at the time. “Suddenly [Doillon] decides that there is a love scene, a sex scene between me and him,” he said. “I’m taking off my sweater, I’m shirtless, he’s grabbing me, making out with me.” When asked if Jacques Doillon then “grabbed” her, the actress agreed. “What happened at Jane’s house? (Birkin, his partner at the time, editor’s note)No one saw him in Doillon’s office,” he explained, adding that he had never yet recounted these alleged facts.

A judicial source close to the case explained to AFP on Thursday that the complaint filed by Judith Godrech on Tuesday was directed not only at Benoit Jacquet, but also at Jacques Doillon, and therefore the investigation launched after this complaint was actually directed at both directors. Entrusted to the Juvenile Protection Brigade, it deals with the crimes of “rape by a competent person of a minor under 15 years of age, rape, intimate partner violence and sexual assault of a minor over 15 years of age by a person. power”. “All the convicted facts took place between 1986 and 1992,” according to the prosecutor, that is, the period when Benoit Jaco and Judith Godrech were a couple.

“There is this sense of impunity”

Jacques Doillon, director Rodin, Ponet Or Little criminal, and the father of actresses Louis and Lola Doillon is also the subject of new allegations. Actress Anna Muglalis explains world sexual assault at his own hands. “It was the summer of 2011,” he recalls. Jacques Doillon had just shot my companion, Samuel Benchetrit, for a film with his daughter, Lou Doillon. Your child. Samuel invited Doylon to join us at my family’s home near Uzes. (…) One evening after dinner we were alone in the room. It was between the stairs on the landing, which opened onto my daughter’s and my bedroom, where I was about to join Samuel, who had fallen asleep earlier. He kissed me forcefully and I pushed him away. Amazing to try something like this under these conditions. There is such a sense of impunity, there is such reification.

For her part, Isilde le Besco, who, like Judith Godrech, had an affair with Benoît Jacquet, denounced Jacques Doillon’s form of sexual blackmail in 2000, when she was hoping to appear in the film. Straight to the west, was released the following year. “When I refused to sleep with him, he removed me from the project and gave the role to his daughter,” he accuses. “My memories are hazy (…) It was quite subtle, unspoken. “Right after I turned it down, he told me he was going to give the part to Lou.”

Requested The worldJacques Doyon did not want to respond. Through his lawyer Marie Doze, he told AFP about revealing “those allegations through the press”. “He vehemently denies them and wants to explain himself in court,” he said.
