The #MeToo movement has literally freed the voices of women victims of sexual violence and abuse. In the world of the seventh art, languages continue to loosen, more particularly in France where many actresses have once again come out of silence to denounce their tormentors. This is particularly the case of actresses Judith Godrèche and Isild Le Besco who, succinctly, denounced the sexual assaults suffered at the hands of directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon.
The day after these revelations, an actor decided to speak out in turn to talk about his case and thus the hashtag #MeTooBoys, intended for men. This is the actor Aurélien Wiik, seen in the series Munch who has just revealed having been abused, from the age of 11 to the age of 15, by his agent and other members of his entourage.
Aurélien Wiik reveals having been sexually abused
This Thursday, February 22, 2024, the 43-year-old man published a photo of himself younger on which he wrote in the caption: “I was 11 years old. From the age of 11 to 15, I was abused by my agent and other members of his entourage. I filed a complaint when I was 16 because he was doing it to others. I sent him to prison”. A way to encourage other victims to break the silence and file a complaint against their attackers.
Aurélien Wiik continues his denunciation by describing the murky climate of his beginnings.“Assaults, harassment, attempted rape, blackmail against roles that I didn’t have as a result. Dinner traps organized by old people with several minors… I defended myself from wandering hands. They tried to lock me in bathroom….”.
Determined to bring the truth to light. He makes other revelations: “Until I was 25, I was offered roles in exchange for favors. People tried to drug me often. A woman drugged me one night. I woke up and she was on me. My only STD, it ‘is rape’ he explains before becoming more threatening: “Tremble, your turn will come. You know who you are. The boys in the cinema wake up”.
