Dark moments that she kept to herself for a long time. On the set of At Jordan’s, Tuesday October 10, 2023, Sandrine Bonnaire, said a little more about the physical violence she suffered in the past. We already knew that an ex-companion had been so violent with her that he had broken eight of her teeth as well as the bones of her face. Pain which remained, for her, irreparable, even twenty years later. The 56-year-old actress plans to write a book, which she will call Impact, “for all the things that impacted [sa] life”. The name of this ex-violent could be mentioned in this future work. But later on the set of C8, it was another attack that she revealed: that committed by a “very well-known director-producer”. If, today, many actresses raise their voices about the attacks they have suffered, at the time, this was unthinkable for her. “There is someone who tried things, but today he is dead so we don’t care”she said.
Sandrine Bonnaire was unable to file a complaint
The interviewer, Jordan de Luxe, inquired whether the attacker was an actor. “No, he was a very well-known director-producer, who we all know. I released him, I told him: ‘Listen, my guy, you stop and get out’. He pushed me against a wall and tried to kiss me”explained Sandrine Bonnaire, still marked. A traumatic episode for which, unfortunately, the actress was unable to obtain justice. “At the time, filing a complaint was complicated. We didn’t talk about it.” Today, she is delighted to see that actresses of this generation can denounce sexist and sexual violence, unlike her at the time. Liberated words which expose to the eyes of the whole world those who take advantage of the weakness of young actresses. “You don’t need to go flirting with a little girl who’s 22. I find that pathetic. […] To me, it’s pathetic for men of that age to be interested in very young girls. I find it sad.”
