Tuesday evening on M6, Lio plays master Nathalie Tomasini, lawyer for Laura Rapp, victim of domestic violence, in the TV movie She saved me. guest of Culture Media the same day, the actress and singer explains why she accepted this role in this fiction inspired by real events. “I said yes straight away, after listening to Ionut [Ionut Teianu, réalisateur du film, ndlr]. Because it’s very important in these cases to use the right words to talk about it. And he uses them: Ionut speaks well of assassination for Julie, he speaks well of feminicide.

“I recommend the ‘Prepare for the fight’ Instagram account”
This choice of the right terms is very important for Lio. And, according to her, it is still lacking in the media treatment of these cases. “The media are extremely complacent with domestic violence and pedocrime,” she regrets. “When a father touches his daughter, we say it’s too much love.
