Former singer Jeane Manson suffered a “heart attack” on Tuesday and was hospitalized in Lyon, after an appeal hearing in the defamation case between her and the daughter of actor Richard Berry, her agent announced Wednesday.
The firefighters confirmed that he was treated in the evening for “chest pain”. Jeane Manson, 73, was rescued “by the firefighters” in the court of appeal, then hospitalized “in critical condition”, according to the artist’s agent.
“His condition is weak” and “an intervention is scheduled for today,” he told AFP.
Agitated during a hearing at the Lyon Court of Appeal
The former American partner of Richard Berry left the courtroom quickly in the evening, visibly very agitated, when her lawyer was to take the floor for his plea, noted an AFP journalist.
The Lyon Court of Appeal re-examined the case between Jeane Manson and Coline Berry-Rojtman on Tuesday. The judgment was reserved until July 17.
In an article published by The world in February 2021, she spoke of sexual violence that she suffered as a minor in 1984 and 1985 at the home of her father who then lived with Jeane Manson, accused of having participated in these attacks.
Defamation complaint
The investigation opened in Paris targeting the actor accused of incest by his daughter was dismissed on August 31, 2022 due to statute of limitations. Jeane Manson had decided to sue her ex-daughter-in-law for defamation before the Aurillac court, in Cantal, where she lives part of the year.
In April 2022, the court sentenced Coline Berry-Rojtman, born in 1976, to a fine of 2,000 euros for defamation. The Riom Court of Appeal (Puy-de-Dôme) confirmed this conviction in December 2022. But in December 2023, the Court of Cassation annulled this judgment and sent the case back to the Lyon Court of Appeal.
