She had hastily left the courtroom at the Lyon courthouse on Tuesday for “chest pain”. Singer Jeane Manson is due to be released from hospital on Friday, her manager said on Thursday. “She will then be transferred to Aurillac in order to continue her treatment,” she said in a press release. “His vital prognosis is no longer in jeopardy. Everything was taken on time,” the manager declared on Wednesday.
Tuesday, the Lyon Court of Appeal re-examined the case between Jeane Manson and Coline Berry-Rojtman. The former American partner of Richard Berry was treated for this cardiac incident by the firefighters at the time when his lawyer was to take the floor for his pleading.
Defamation lawsuits
In an article published by The world in February 2021, the latter spoke of sexual violence that she allegedly 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. 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 and 20,000 euros in damages.
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. The judgment was reserved until July 17.
