The #MeToo movement having freed women’s voices, many actresses, singers and even presenters have denounced the rapes and sexual assaults suffered during their careers. Today, it is the turn of French actress Judith Godrèche to make sordid revelations about her past. After revealing that he had been sexually abused by American director Harvey Weinstein, the actress accuses French director Benoît Jacquot of having also abused her at the age of 14.
The actress who later became his partner assures that she was never attracted to the filmmaker but that she simply found herself under his influence, “J I found myself with him, in his bed, and I was his child wife”. When I left him, I tried to think and say to myself, ‘at what point did I look at this man and say to myself that I want to go out with him, oh, he’s super handsome, but in fact, never!” she declared this Thursday, February 8, 2024 on France Inter radio.
The 51-year-old actress has just filed a complaint against the director for “rape of a minor”. But Benoît Jacquot is not the only director who would have abused Judith Godrèche. In her radio interview, the woman who is now a mother of two children,
reveals she was raped by French director Jacques Doillon
.
While at the time she had this strange relationship with Benoît Jacquot, 25 years her senior, she then becomes “the object of Jacques Doillon” who is none other than Jane Birkin’s ex… and therefore Lou Doillon’s dad. Judith Godrèche then recounts a horrible scene which took place while she was filming the film “The 15-year-old girl”released in 1989 when she was still a minor.

The actor who was to share the poster with Judith Godrèche has just been fired by the film’s director, Jacques Doillon, who then decides to take his place. “Suddenly, he decides that there is a love scene, a sex scene between him and me. And there, we do 45 takes. And I take off my sweater, and I’m shirtless, and he gropes me, and he makes fun of me,” she recalls, not without emotion. Another sordid fact that Judith Godrèche reveals: his wife at the time, Jane Birkin, was present at the time of the events. “This is an extremely painful situation for her.” declares the 51-year-old actress.
Finally, she also evokes another sordid event, which occurred “in Jane’s house, in Doillon’s office”. And the actress affirms: “But no one saw that, and I didn’t tell anyone about it.”
