A mishap that she will not soon forget. This Saturday, November 16, 2024, Cécile Siméone, former television host turned interior decorator, took to Instagram to share a traumatic experience with its subscribers.
Facing the camera, she explained that she had been attacked by a cyclist at a red light. The incident apparently occurred on Friday, on a road linking the town of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon to Lyon, just after she passed him by car. A situation that she would have preferred to avoid, but which she decided to make public to raise awareness.
Cécile Siméone hit in the face
“Like every day, I take the path to Fontanières, which is very winding, very narrow and two-way.“, she said. “I pass a cyclist, then I see him moving in my rearview mirror. I tell myself that he must not be happy. Maybe he thought I had walked too close to him, which is absolutely not the case.“
A few meters further, at a red light, the cyclist then parked his bike against the bumper of Cécile Siméone's car.
Ready to ask him for explanations, the companion of ex-professional football goalkeeper Dominique Casagrande would then have lowered her window. But she wouldn't have had time to finish her sentence. the man allegedly hit her violently.
“Here, I took a punch. I was not pushed, nor slapped, nor did my hair be pulled. No, I took a punch“, she confided. “I have nothing, don't worry. I was lucky enough to turn my head, so I caught it in my ear. Good, I still have pain in my cartilagebut for the rest, everything is fine“.
The ex-host does not wish to file a complaint
Despite the violence of the facts, she would have made the decision not to file a complaint. “I'm not going to go to a police station and piss off the police for five hours with my photo of this guy from behind“, she clarified before attacking the politics of the metropolis of Lyon.
“It is poorly managed, there are aberrations (…) Today, a car in Lyon does not exceed 30 km/h, the bicycles go faster than us (…) Many bicycles do not respect the Code of the road. It's the truth, and it creates this kind of tension“. It's said!
