At the time when Sarah Rahimipour was born, we were not yet wondering whether screens were harmful to children. She was therefore (lucky?) to be raised in front of this beautiful object. And everything was there, the 8 p.m. news with the family, Madame is served during meals, the Club Dorothée on Wednesdays. In short, the good life! Then, television became a passion and over time other programs aroused his interest: the talk shows of Jean-Luc Delarue and Thierry Ardisson mainly.
Director Maïwenn was convicted this Tuesday by the Paris police court for having pulled Edwy Plenel’s hair. She should pay him money but absolutely does not regret her action as she said during the hearing.

The verdict is in. The filmmaker Maïwenn was sentenced on Tuesday January 16, 2024 to a fine of 400 euros by the Paris police court for having pulled the hair of Edwy Plenel, the co-founder of Mediapartin a Parisian restaurant in February 2023. In addition to this fine, the former wife of Luc Besson will have to pay a symbolic euro to the journalist and 1,500 euros to the company Mediapart for damages, as well as 500 euros for legal costs to Mr. Plenel and Mediapart. “I don’t apologize and I don’t regret anything” she said during the hearing.
For her, her gesture “was not up to the upheaval in his life” provoked by the article of Mediapart dedicated to Luc Besson, the father of his daughter Shanna. “I reacted with violence because this newspaper betrayed my consent“, she explained. And added: “It’s a tsunami in a woman’s life to see her private life in the media.“
The publication by Mediapart of its hearing in June 2020 before the judicial police in the Luc Besson affair was “a moral rape“.”Parts of my statement to the police were taken solely against the father of my child.” “Mediapart knew very well that I did not want to express myself on this subject.t”, she denounced. She therefore considers herself “victim“.
A publication that upset her
Last June, the director had in fact explained to Sunday newspaper : “Contrary to the words of Edwy Plenel, who moreover has no reason to know the reasons for my action since he did not want us to talk about it, I do not blame Mediapart the investigations they carried out concerning Luc Besson. I blame them for what they did to me.” She then took on a journalist from Mediapartand accused her of having used her police interview to publish an article without her consent: “At the end, I confirm to her that I still do not want to speak, and I ask her – to protect my daughter – if, in any case, she can warn me forty-eight hours before the publication of the next investigation . She understands. She gives me her agreement.” Médiapart then published a post in which he denounced “misinterpretation“and”lies“, from Maïwenn.
