On Monday, November 4, Yann Barthès received Daily Sara Forestier, Camille Cottin and India Hair, the film's headliners Three friends by Emmanuel Mouret, released this Wednesday, November 6, 2024. It had been three years since Sara Forestier had accepted a role in the cinema, but that had not “no way” missed. Why?
Sara Forestier “traumatized“, thought about suicide
“I needed to take a few years to rebuild myself because I had been hit by an actor on film. I had been slapped and I left the film, I went to the police station, (…) I filed a complaint“, she confided in the TMC show, referring to the filming of the feature film Good man in 2017. At the time, rumors accused Sara Forestier of having slapped Nicolas Duvauchelle before being fired from the film. “Unfortunately, we don't get much help (…) in the cinema. We often joke about damaged women saying that they are crazy. (…) Being traumatized involves things: not sleeping, having suicidal thoughts…. You have to take the time to refocus on yourself and find pleasure again. I waited to find a project with people who were caring and that's what happened with this film. I did so well to wait. (…) This is really the way we should make cinema. Something is changing. It reconciled me with the sets, while I continued to make films pretending that things were going well, but they weren't going well. This shoot liberated me. I'm happy to be able to say that“, she testified.
Nicolas Duvauchelle gives his version of the facts
Since this television interview, Nicolas Duvauchelle has reportedly been harassed by Internet users. The actor then decided to break the silence by confirming that Sara Forestier had filed a complaint against him. The actor mentions a verdict saying he is not guilty, without specifying whether he was exonerated or whether the case was dismissed. Refuting the accusations, he threatens to file a complaint against his harassers in a story posted on his Instagram account this Friday, November 8: “Let this be clear to all the pseudo cardboard vigilantes. I never touched Sara Forestier, several witnesses were present, including the director and an investigation was carried out by the courts. Please respect the verdict. I plan to sue all the smart guys who continue to send me cowardly messages. I have a family and children. Please respect them and respect the truth and not your fantasies. Have a nice weekend everyone“.
