“It’s okay, you’re not going to give me a MeToo!”
She rejects his advances, reminding him that she is “his children's age.” A refusal that Gérard Darmon would not have supported. Afterwards, “he spoke extremely badly to me. He said to me “hello female dog, do you prefer that I call you female dog or little slut?” “, she remembers. She informed the production but ended up leaving the set. “Production did not protect me. She did not want to put me in safety and favored the actor and the continuation of the film,” she assures. According to Politis, who collected her testimony, the young woman filed a complaint against the production for non-protection.
