It was through the courts that Victoria Abril decided to respond to allegations of sexual abuse by Lucy Lucas, her partner in the TF1 series Clem. His lawyer, Maitre Stéphane Zitzermann, told Libération that he would file a defamation lawsuit in the coming days.“To be able to explain himself before the court”.
The young actress announced on Instagram that her fictional mother had been behaving inappropriately on set for 8 seasons. She even went so far as to mention the sexist and sexual abuse she had witnessed.
This speech by Lucy Lucas follows the signing of a column in support of Gerard Depardieu by Victoria Abril and 55 others, which was published on the Figaro website on Monday 25 December and is entitled “Don’t delete Gerard Depardieu“. Recall that the actor was accused of raping the actress Charlotte Arnold and shocked public opinion on December 7 with obscene remarks broadcast in the Complément d’investigation program of France 2.
“You get angry too, and when you think about it, you’re right.”
Clem’s hero denounced: “OK…so I’ve been an actor for 15 years now and I protect a good portion of these degenerate boomers by not mentioning in interviews all the damage they do to others on set…I always tell reporters that everything went very well on set, That everyone is so nice and cute… when it’s often fake!“
“How many unacceptable behaviors have I committed? I have a lot to say about some of the people on this delightful list of co-signers… To all the younger generation of comedians out there, I hope you’re ready to retire because we won’t be covering you any longer!“
“Hey Victoria…want to talk about your multiple assaults, including sexual assault, against your partners? Come to think of it, I’m not surprised you signed this piece of crap… you get angry too, and when you think about it, you’re absolutely right. Enough of the delirium.”
Nuanced allegations of Lucy Lucas
With our colleagues from France Info, Lucie Lucas wanted to clarify the comment she made against Victoria Abril. “The sexual abuse I accuse him of was not directed at me, but it is what I witnessed.“- explained Lucy Lucas in the 23 hours program. “It’s not Victoria Abril I want to blame. I had such a rush of blood, it was my blood talking. Maybe I let myself do this because she is my “movie mom” and I felt deeply betrayed and abandoned by her. But in fact, what I want to condemn is that there is an impunity, a feeling of impunity that is total among certain people, and especially among certain people of the generation of Gerard Depardieu and Victoria Abril, who allow themselves to tyrannize the whole set. And behavior that I don’t consider acceptable or even illegal.“
And Lucy Lucas continues in an interview with HuffPost published this Friday: “I threatened not to divulge details of the non-consensual acts because I wasn’t directly involved and I don’t tell other people’s stories without their consent. The form in which I exposed Victoria Abril was correct.”
