Michel Drucker welcomed Laurent Ruquier this Sunday, November 3 on his red sofa. Hugo Manos' companion took advantage of a question from the host to support his friend Nicolas Bedos, convicted of sexual assault.
The court delivered its verdict in October. Nicolas Bedos was sentenced to one year in prison including six months suspended on probation and to an obligation of care for sexual assault. Two women had filed complaints against him. One of them accused him “for walking towards her, head down, before reaching out with his right hand to her genitals, over her jeans”. The second “told investigators that Nicolas Bedos had grabbed her by the waist and kissed her neck on the night of May 11 to 12, 2023, while the latter was drunk,” had reported The Parisian. His lawyer reacted to this conviction on the set of C to you, criticizing the severity of the sentence. She also recalled that the actor was aware of his alcohol problems. “He’s been in treatment for almost two years and he’s very lucid about it all.” she emphasized. Pauline Desmonts, the partner of Nicolas Bedos, spoke on Instagram denouncing an injustice.
