Last June, justice dismissed the rape charges against Luc Besson. Virginie Silla, his wife, revealed to Paris Match the words of the director when he lifted the veil on his deceptions.
In 2018, the reputation of director Luc Besson has been greatly damaged by the rape charges against him, from a Belgian-Dutch actress. The one who had a relationship with Maïwenn never ceased to deny the facts of which he was accused. Justice finally ruled in his favor last June, dismissing the rape charges.
These same accusations turned the life of his wife, Virginie Silla, who learned through this the deceptions of her husband who was brought to collaborate with Florent Pagny. This Thursday, August 31, she delivered herself in the columns of Paris Match and reported Luc Besson’s reaction, who could no longer hide having cheated on his wife. It happened in May 2018, and Virginie Silla remembers it like it was yesterday. A very difficult situation to manage for her, who suddenly learned of her husband’s adultery, which she still doubted a little.

The director’s wife confided in the magazine on this famous day in May 2018, where she learned everything when an actress filed a complaint against her husband for rape: “I understood that he had maintained a relationship with his accuser. There, I laughed less, she revealed. She then recounts having questioned her husband, who ended up confessing to her: “I cheated on you and it’s not the first time”. Despite the doubts she had about Luc Besson, this one “had always succeeded in dispelling them” and when she learned of his deceptions, “a weight has come off”which led her to walk alone.
The same evening, the couple found themselves on the plane to return home, while they were in Los Angeles: “It was… a little cold, but we came home to find our three children”, she commented. Virginie Silla revealed that her husband has “had a bad time”, but that she never doubted his innocence. It didn’t change anything in his feelings: “Today, I no longer trust him but I love him”she concluded.
