Anny Duperey clashed with Alexandra Lamy, she replies: “What I wanted to say is…”

She finally returned to her controversial comments. On Saturday February 10, 2024, around 12:30 p.m., Anny Duperey spoke about the relationship that Judith Godrèche had shared with director Benoît Jacquot, which began when the actress was 14 years old. As a reminder, the latter has just filed a complaint against the filmmaker for “violent rape of a minor under 15 years old” committed by a person in authority. She also filed a complaint against Jacques Doillon who allegedly raped her on the set of the film The 15 year old girlwhen she was that same age.

“I’m going to get punched, but I think this is all extremely exaggerated, explained Anny Duperey in The unexpected diary on RTL. That all the same, six years with a director… Under the influence, I’m willing, but still consenting, right?“This tirade irritated many ears and, a few hours later, the 76-year-old actress wanted to temper her comments via a long press release, the entirety of which is here.

Anny Duperey returns to her controversial remarks

“Faced with the numerous reactions on social networks regarding my intervention on the subject of Judith Godrèche’s complaint, and other complaints appearing recently, I would like to affirm that:
• Obviously, I CONDEMN any action of RAPE or abuse of seductive power – whether it takes place against adults and ESPECIALLY CHILDREN or ADOLESCENTS.
• It is not for nothing that I have been a sponsor of an association for the defense of children for over 30 years!
In the same way :
• I have always ardently defended the cause of women, personally and by participating in numerous demonstrations in favor of this cause – for which there is still so much to do. (It is not by chance that I was one of the first signatories for the release of Jacqueline Sauvage)
What I wanted to say, very clumsily, I agree, because it is beneficial for the victims to finally express themselves, after such a long silence, it is to temper the media excitement.“

Alexandra Lamy pins Anny Duperey

Anny Duperey’s intervention had indeed provoked a torrent of reactions on social networks. Alexandra Lamy was particularly upset when she heard the expression “late witch hunt“.”This are not witches, they are rapists, criminals, Chloé Jouannet’s mother had corrected her. You have to tell all these victims that you don’t like the hunt for rapists and late criminals!! That’s the real word, not witches but rapists, criminals.“
