“No adult has taken responsibility,” laments the actress on France Inter

The hearings will have been trying: a week after the start of the trial of director Christophe Ruggia, whom she accuses of having sexually assaulted her between the ages of 12 and 14, actress Adèle Haenel returned to the event on the microphone of France Inter, Monday December 16, 2024.

“He murdered the child I was”

She explained that she suffered from facing an accused who, according to her, was “talking nonsense”. “This pile of lies accumulated by a man who sexually assaulted the child I was, who made him disappear, who actually murdered him, it’s hard to hear that,” confides- She.

Returning to the “Shut up!” » which she said to the director during the hearing, Adèle Haenel admits to having “gone crazy” because “when he says 'it's me who gave him his name', it's aggression too much […]it takes me back to when I was on his sofa and he said to me “without me you are nothing”,” she says.

An accused who poses as a victim

The actress, who has now ended her career, also criticizes Mr. Ruggia for his line of defense. For her, he continued to “sexualize the child (that she was) and […] to make believe that he was the victim of this story”, emphasizing that “he was 36 years old at the time of the facts” and that he organized to sexually assault “a 12 year old child, at his home, every week -ends”.

“I am the representative of this child […] that no one protected. No adult took their responsibilities,” finally deplores Adèle Haenel, regretting “that we made sex scenes film with children […] a shoot still involves around fifty adults.”
