Audrey Fleurot denounces the pressure of society on mothers

Mother of a little boy since 2015, Audrey Fleurot confided in the pages of Paris Match on the pressure exerted by society on the role of mother. “You have to be courageous to say no to this injunction. Society returns the idea that one cannot be a complete woman without being a mother ”, she denounces. If the actress is now a fulfilled mother, she reveals that outside influence still played a role in her desire to nurture. “I am delighted to be a mother, I have decided; but I would have been told that I was still ten years ahead of me, I took them! ”

In this no-holds-barred interview, she says that some women have already made her feel guilty when she told them that her job prevented her from being at home all the time. She then specifies that in terms of education, there is not one parent who does things better than the other. Not without humor, she also returned to the injunction to the rapid development of children. “They have to skip a class, be bilingual at three, do fifty activities, etc… My son rode a bicycle at 5 and not at 4, and I was in a panic”.

Audrey Fleurot victim of street harassment

Recalling her youth, the actress also recounted being the victim of street harassment. A theme that is particularly close to his heart. “It’s a feeling I’ve always had. The #MeToo movement fascinated me because many men have realized what all women know, but never said: when you’re a girl, you get mugged all the time. And you have to find parades ”, she explains.

Among those she used younger, the actress talks about tying her hair, putting on a hood or even swapping her heels for sneakers when she had to come home late at night. “I started riding a scooter when I was 20 because I couldn’t get bothered on the metro anymore. At one point, you asked me the time in the street, I took out my tear gas canister, I was so traumatized ”, she explains. From September 2, we will find it on TF1 in the mini-series Lies, a psychological thriller about a rape case.
