After a hearing at the Lyon Court of Appeal, singer Jeane Manson was hospitalized in Lyon this Tuesday, May 7 due to a heart attack, her agent announced this Wednesday.
“His vital prognosis is no longer in jeopardy. Everything was taken in time”reassured the agent to the AFP, specifying that Jeane Manson “will remain hospitalized in Lyon for a few days”.
Supported in a “critical” state
The firefighters confirmed his care at the courthouse Tuesday evening for “chest pain”. His condition was “critical”according to the artist’s agent.
The former American partner of Richard Berry had left the courtroom hastily in the evening, visibly very agitated, when her lawyer was to take the floor for his plea, noted an AFP journalist.
The Lyon Court of Appeal re-examined the case between Jeane Manson and Coline Berry-Rojtman. The judgment was reserved until July 17.
Accused of having participated in attacks
In an article published by The world in February 2021, Coline Berry-Rojtman spoke of sexual violence that she suffered as a minor in 1984 and 1985 at the home of her father who then lived with Jeane Manson, accused of having participated in these attacks.
The investigation opened in Paris targeting the actor accused of incest by his daughter was dismissed on August 31, 2022 due to statute of limitations.
Jeane Manson had decided to sue her ex-daughter-in-law for defamation before the Aurillac court, in Cantal, where she lives part of the year. In April 2022, the court sentenced Coline Berry-Rojtman to a fine of 2,000 euros for defamation and 20 euros in damages. The Riom Court of Appeal (Puy-de-Dôme) confirmed this conviction in December 2022. But in December 2023, the Court of Cassation annulled this judgment and sent the case back to the Lyon Court of Appeal.
