“Stolen kisses, in reality a sexual assault. It’s the end of August 2016, I invite Philippe Lioret to my show. 1 hour interview. He insists on taking me back to the station, I have to take a TGV. At the time, there was no barrier at the end of the platform; accompanying persons could come on the TGV. Philippe Lioret accompanies me to my car. I go up and say goodbye to him. The train will leave soon. Suddenly he jumps on the step. He presses his thick, wet lips to mine. He runs off, muttering apologies. He will apologize again a few days later.” she said on her X account, formerly Twitter, this Tuesday April 9, 2024 before sharing the show “recorded the same day” of aggression. A painful memory that sparked strong reactions.

Philippe Lioret at the heart of dark accusations
The actress Amandine Dewasmes also detailed her traumatic meeting with Philippe Lioret. “From the moment when I felt his hands and fingers in my neck, on my hips, my body has petrified. There was something wrong.” she confided. A particularly embarrassing moment of which Elodie Frenck was also the victim. “He started to be very insistent. He put his mouth on my neck, he was short of breath, I was very uncomfortable. I pulled away and he said to me: ‘But do you want to do it or you don’t don’t want to do it?” I felt like a little mouse at the bottom of the box. I felt that we were no longer playing and that it was someone who was taking advantage of it.”, she added. A very dark affair which once again shakes up the world of the 7th art.
