Put in context

In the columns of the Italian daily, the 52-year-old actress confided « wanted to die« (in French, that she “wanted to die”) when she learned of the existence of this platform.

“She was fooled on that one,” she still believes. “The text, it seems to me, has arrived at the wrong time and it was written with their feet by people who I don’t think were very well-intentioned. »

The platform created strong tensions between the two women. ” But we never had any arguments going to the point of no longer speaking to us,” explains Chiara Mastroianni.

“I think that the actresses of this generation, of this beauty, have seen and suffered situations where no one asked themselves: is it happening or is it not happening? “, puts the actress who played in Other people’s children (2022) or even in Marcello Mio (2024).

Catherine Deneuve apologized

In 2018, a few weeks after the publication of this column and in the face of numerous criticisms, Catherine Deneuve apologized.
