On the evening of Friday November 8, 2024, Nicolas Duvauchelle had a lot on his heart. As proof, the message that the 44-year-old actor published in his Instagram story…
“Let this be clear to all the pseudo cardboard vigilantes… I never touched Sara Forestier. Several witnesses were present, including the director, and an investigation was carried out by the courts. Please respect the verdict. I plan to sue all the smart guys who continue to cowardly post messages to me“, first wrote Nicolas Duvauchelle before recalling that these accusations not only have repercussions on him but also on his family. The actor got married last May to Chloé Roy and is the father of 3 children : Bonnie who he had with actress Ludivine Sagnier in 2005, Romy who he had with actress Laura Isaaz in 2012 and finally a boy named Andréa who he had in 2017 with model Anouchka Alsif “I have a family and children. Please respect them and respect the truth and not your fantasies. Have a nice weekend everyone“, he concludes his message.
Sara Forestier accuses an actor of slapping and hitting her on set
The publication of this message comes a few days after Sara Forestier's appearance on the set of Daily, on TMC. On the movie poster Three friendsthe new feature film by Emmanuel Mouret (Mademoiselle de Joncquières), the actress was alongside Camille Cottin and India Hair. Caesarized twice (César for Most Promising Actress for The Dodge in 2005 and César for best actress for People's Names in 2011), Sara Forestier explained to Yann Barthès why she stayed away from film sets for three years. “Already because there is more to life than professional life“, the actress first confided before adding: “I needed to take a few years to rebuild myself.“
Sara Forestier then returned to a filming incident at the origin of this distancing, without mentioning the name of the film nor the name of the actor who allegedly attacked her. “I had been hit and slapped by an actor. And I left the film. (…) I went to the police station and filed a complaint“, she explained to Yann Barthès, then evoking the trauma she experienced: “Trauma is not taken into account in cinema. We often joke about damaged women saying that they are crazy.” “So you have to take the time to refocus on yourself, find pleasure again and I really waited to find the project with people who were caring.“, she added afterwards.
