It did not take long for Frédéric Beigbeder to put pen to paper at the end of his police custody. A few hours after being interviewed by the police at the Pau police station as part of a rape investigation, the writer published a press release in which he displays a disconcerting freedom of tone in view of the accusations against him.
Frédéric Beigbeder displays a disconcerting serenity at a time when accusations of rape weigh on his head. This Tuesday, December 12, 2023, the writer was placed in police custody as part of a preliminary investigation opened after accusations of rape shared by a woman during a complaint filed last July. As a reminder, the complainant explains that she had two sexual relations with Frédéric Beigbeder during the same night.
Although she recognizes that their first antics were consensual, she explains that the second sexual encounter which followed during the same night in a hotel room in Pau, a town located in the Pyrénées-Atlantique, did not was not consented to. As part of the preliminary investigation, Frédéric Beigbeder was interviewed during police custody by police officers from the Pau police station. At the end of these hearings, the 59-year-old writer wanted to speak out about recent events through a press release.

Frédéric Beigbeder: “Two reservations, however”
Faithful to his provocative style, the screenwriter displayed a freedom of tone and an irony that was disconcerting to say the least in light of the accusations made against him. “I would like to thank the staff at the Pau police station for welcoming me to their premises. Two reservations, however: the chicken curry was dry, and my car ended up in the impound while I was in police custody for a few barely hours. There is definitely a lack of parking in front of this police station.”declares the author through a press release.
Frédéric Beigbeder does not mention, in any case, elements relating to the preliminary investigation opened for rape. This does not prevent the author from 99 Francs to organize his defense which is carried out by Me Marie Dosé. She seems to take the matter more seriously than her client, and assures that the latter “strongly contests the fanciful accusations made against him and is perfectly confident in the outcome of the procedure.”
