The actress then gave a meaningful speech during the César ceremony and since then several women have broken the silence, including Juliette Binoche and Isild Le Besco. In an interview for Ciné Télé Revuethis Thursday, May 30, Bérénice Bejo returned to her colleague’s speech: “It was ultra-violent, but she had the courage to speak out. We cannot all do it and we should not judge those who cannot do it (…) But Judith, she had guts! As someone who has a little girl, I can never thank her enough. Today, women know that they can call for help.”
During his interview with the magazine, the journalist asked the actress if she had ever been confronted with problematic behavior during her career, to which Michel Hazanavicius’ companion responded: “Not to that extent. Afterwards, I experienced some inappropriate things… But nothing that I didn’t know how to handle before it became harassment, or more complicated.”
