“We can’t talk”

Lio is known for her outspokenness. The singer never misses an opportunity to say what she thinks whether she likes it or not. Very committed to the fight against sexist and sexual violence, the 61-year-old artist gave his opinion on the Gérard Depardieu affair last January on the show C the weekly. While the actor accused by more than fifteen women of sexual assault and rape, Lio notably explained that she had “was lucky enough to be able to avoid it.” “But there was my sister who was asked if she wanted to be featured because she was in films. We told him before: ‘You know, he touches the breasts, he puts his hands in the pants, but after all it’s Gérard.’ And there she replied: ‘No, I don’t want to pay that price.'”, she revealed.

Comments which did not please the main interested party. Indeed, Helena Noguerra spoke this Saturday, February 3 in the show What an era! on France 2. The actress spoke of the embarrassment felt when hearing the words of her sister Lio. “I find that we cannot speak on behalf of others. What we say in private is not a show. In this entertainment society, I must have struggled, so I must find my place. And all this display, it was up to me to talk about it or not”, she confided.

“It’s not a big deal, she’s my sister”

However, Helena Noguerra does not blame her sister. “Well, it’s done and it’s not a big deal, she’s my sister.”, she said. Moreover, she had already spoken about the sexual assaults that she herself experienced when she was a model, as a teenager on France Inter. She mentioned in particular “old paunchy gentlemen and fashion predators, type [Jeffrey] Epstein and company.”I even have images with Patrick Demarchelier [photographe décédé en 2022] about who I was, on their knees, I was 15, and they had their hands on my thighs”, she concluded.
