This Tuesday, May 7, Jeane Manson was present in Lyon, to attend an appeal hearing in the defamation case between her and Richard Berry’s daughter, Coline Berry-Rojtman. In the evening, the actor’s ex was the victim of a “heart attack“, said her agent Fabien Lecoeuvre, in comments echoed by BFMTV. If we are to believe the first information communicated, the American singer and actress was taken care of for “chest pain” and was rescued by a team of firefighters who intervened in the court of appeal.
The day after this event, the artist’s agent announced that Jeane Manson had been hospitalized.in critical condition“.”His condition is weak” And “an intervention is scheduled today“, he told AFP. According to information from a journalist present on the scene, Richard Berry’s former partner would have “left the courtroom hastily in the sorea, visibly very agitated, when his lawyer was to take the floor for his pleading.”

In the wake of a case that captivated public opinion, actress Marilou Berry enters the legal arena, summoned as a witness in the defamation appeal trial between her cousin Coline Berry-Rojtman and the singer and actress Jeanne Manson. Initially, Richard Berry’s daughter was ordered to pay a fine of 2,000 euros, 20,000 euros in damages, as well as 5,000 euros in legal costs for having defamed the actor’s ex, in accusing her of participating in sexual abuse when she was a minor. But in December 2023, the Court of Cassation annulled this conviction, thus opening the door to a new trial this Tuesday, May 7 at the Lyon Court of Appeal, indicated The Parisian.
As a reminder, Coline Berry-Rojtman, daughter of actor Richard Berry, initially filed a complaint in January 2021 against her father and his partner at the time, Jeane Manson, accusing him of serious sexual abuse in the 1980s. Marilou Berry’s testimony is therefore particularly awaited, because it could influence the perception of the court and the public on the credibility of her cousin’s allegations.
