On Saturday February 27, 2021, the actor nevertheless made a very noticed appearance on the same social network. It was on Patrick Bruel's account that the father of the family gave sign of life. In the caption of a publication in which the singer announced the return of his lives on Facebook, launched during the first confinement, Marilou Berry's uncle was delighted. "Can't wait to find you my friend!", he wrote. A comment very noticed by the subscribers of the songwriter who hastened to respond, often with virulence. In addition to emojis "vomit" and "pig", we can read : "Get out", "A thought for incest victims …?" or "Shame on you !".
Others recalled that Richard Berry is still presumed innocent and supported him: "We know the actor less human … Despite everything, presumption of innocence in this beautiful country", "With all my heart with you Mr. Berry "," Attention, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go! Insta Tribunal is on its way! Good luck…" and "I am sure you are a beautiful person!" As a reminder, Coline Berry filed a complaint against her father for "rape and sexual assault on a minor of 15 years by ascendant and corruption of a minor", January 21, 2021.

Marilou Berry makes shocking new revelations about Richard Berry
If she cannot attest that her cousin was indeed the victim of rape, she declared in the columns of Paris Match : "Coline told me everything. I spoke to Richard at a family reunion. He was very angry, very upset. He replied that Coline was crazy, that the behavior of 'that woman' was shameful". Before continuing: "Coline was benched. My father [Philippe Berry, editor's note] and I were the only ones to support her. The only thing I can vouch for is that for the past seven years my uncle deploys incredible energy to make Coline look crazy. My grandparents didn't want to see her anymore when they were extremely close. He cut her off from everyone. With us, you had to choose your side".
