Gérard Miller affair: “I am psychologically blocked”
“I see him pulling down his pants again. He takes out his penis. He asks me if I’ve ever slept with a boy, I tell him no, and then he says to me: ‘I won’t be your first’. He puts me his penis in his hand, then he puts it in my mouth, to give him oral sex. I’m mentally blocked”, she says. Traumatized, Aude explains that she has a black hole about what she has just suffered.
“The amnesia was immediate. I remembered meeting Gérard Miller, I often told about it, but I completely repressed the rest, I didn’t talk about it to anyone because I wasn’t even aware of it. I just had the feeling that he was unhealthy when I came across him on TV, without knowing why I thought that,” she explains. It was when he came across the title of the investigation targeting Gérard Miller in ELLE magazine that his memories violently resurface. “At that moment, everything is swirling, I feel bad, I want to vomit. It literally hit me in the face, and then I needed to speak, to tell my story,” says Aude.
