The French actor Richard Berry he has been denounced by one of his daughters, Coline, for having been raped as a child, while he denies this “filthy accusation” and claims he has never had incestuous relations with either her or any of her other children.
According to various French media, the allegation of rape, sexual assault and corruption of minors by Coline Hiegel Berry, now 45, against the actor and his former stepmother, the American singer Jeane Manson, Was formalized during the month of January and last week the investigation was commissioned to the Paris Police Brigade for Minors.
Berry, 70, has been a major figure on the French screen and stage for more than four decades, having starred in nearly 80 films such as “L’Appat” by Bertrand Tavernier, or ” A day of shit “, by Miguel Courtois).
He has also directed six films, and is also a prolific performer of television and theater (especially in classics of the Comédie-Française).
the magazine Point he noted that the complainant, who has received the support of her mother, actress Catherine Hiegel, is due to testify in the coming days for facts that could be time-barred.
In a long message posted on social media on Tuesday, Berry denies “with all (his) strength and unambiguity these filthy accusations,” that “although repeated a hundred times in the press or by other means, they are nothing more than a lie. “
In his message, he explains that it was seven years ago, when he announced to his family that he was going to have a child at a time when Coline was pregnant, she “reacted with extreme violence” and sent him an email to his then-wife in which he “for the first time” alluded to the fact that he had been abused.
To try to prove the inconsistency of the allegations, he notes that his daughter’s story “has evolved over time” and that although he has tried to talk to her and told the case to friends, psychiatrists and family members , has failed to understand what is happening to him.
This denunciation comes in a context in which the testimony of an alleged incest committed by the renowned political scientist Olivier Duhamel, published in a book published by his stepdaughter, Camille Kouchner, has served in France for many alleged victims to talk about it.
Camille Kouchner, daughter of former French Minister Bernard Kouchner, recounts in “The Big Family” how Duhamel abused her twin brother Antoine when he was a teenager, a matter that is the subject of a judicial investigation.
