00:00Most sexual assaults and rapes are committed by close relatives.
00:06Benoît Jaco, he first put himself in my close circle.
00:10He has become a member of my family for 25 years,
00:15even though he assaulted me in private.
00:20I think that by becoming an actress, I felt really lucky to get out of my environment,
00:25to also have adults as friends, connections.
00:31There was such a connection that it was an entry point to making me what they wanted.
00:37And in fact, being the perfect actress is being the perfect malleable object.
00:43So, the more malleable I was, and even more so to the people I wanted to help as much as possible in their film,
00:51the more I was an object, the more I was humiliated, crushed at the same time,
00:55because not at all considered as a person.
00:58And that, the film industry, is a small, privileged environment, but it illustrates.
01:03Same, this world, to what extent women, in the greatest intimacy of the couple,
01:08are not taken into consideration at all.
01:11They are always an object, deeply, naturally and in spite of themselves.
01:15It is even more reinforced if the girl is young and lives in an adult environment.
01:20which is normally a professional environment in which we have confidence.
01:24It is important to know that most sexual assaults and rapes are committed by close relatives.
01:32Benoît Jaco, he first put himself in my close circle.
01:36He gained my trust.
01:38And today, it is also very hard to carry this word,
01:46because he has become, in some way, a member of my family,
01:51even though he assaulted me in private.
01:55He didn't do it with violence.
01:56The difficulty of this kind of toxic relationship,
02:00is that in fact, they are not only toxic.
02:02They also carry us in a certain way.
02:04It was Benoît Jaco also the first man to say
02:10"You're awesome and it looks great too."
02:13Even though in energy he crushed me because he made me lose my own opinion,
02:20despite everything, it carried me.
02:22And it is the ambiguity, the difficulty of naming this kind of relationship
02:26that destroy you, but at the same time also others,
02:30to understand how we could have been destroyed by this kind of relationship,
02:34because they also carried us.
02:37Yes, Benoît Jaco contacted me after the Richoudi de Cotterèche series.
02:40because he wanted my support.
02:42And indeed, he didn't understand who I was.
02:46I think he never understood it.
02:48And this kind of man,
02:50Well, he poses the image he wants to have of women,
02:54or even human beings in general,
02:56and don't know who the person in front of them is.
02:59When I saw her in December,
03:01I told him that I was in great solidarity with Judith Cotterèche,
03:07obviously, because she is a woman,
03:09and because I imagine what she went through.
03:11So it was moral above all.
03:13The aggressors never take into consideration
03:16the victims' pain,
03:19what they destroyed,
03:20because they have no affect.
03:23They live their lives without feelings,
03:27without fragility.
03:28So they can't imagine
03:30how one person can be affected by another.
03:34When women talk about a trial,
03:36either they dissociate,
03:38they have a great distance from their ordeal,
03:41which means that they do not embody the pain they have experienced.
03:45Either they are in pain,
03:47and we don't want to see her,
03:48we don't want to hear them,
03:49because it's cumbersome,
03:50it's too palpable.
03:51So, it is actually necessary that women,
03:54they have an immense distance,
03:56or dissociation in order to be able to talk about their drama.
04:00And at the same time,
04:01if they also tell themselves that they don't have their emotions inside,
04:04we think it didn't affect them,
04:06and that maybe they are lying.
04:07So, there really is a whole welcome to be done.
04:10There are obviously women who have had trials,
04:13but who, when they talk about it,
04:15they have already come such a long way,
04:17and they are already such queens,
04:19but there is also a huge road ahead,
04:21of the people around them,
04:23and who understand that,
04:25and who welcome the word.
04:27Sometimes we doubt the word of women,
04:28but they have everything to lose when they speak.
04:32Often because it is a close entourage
04:34who will break up a family,
04:35and they perceive,
04:37and that's what happens,
04:38that they are ultimately alone.
04:40I am lucky to have my sister,
04:43with whom I wrote the book,
04:44to have my brothers,
04:45to still have parents who support me,
04:48and once again,
04:49I bounce off the surroundings,
04:51how important it is to listen to women,
04:54and even when it is difficult to listen to them.
