Known for her role on the small screen in the series “Capitaine Marleau”, Corinne Masiero will be this Wednesday, May 3, 2023 showing the film “La Marginale”, a feature film by Frank Cimière in which she plays the role of Michele, a homeless living at Orly airport who finds herself in an affair with a young street sweeper with a mental handicap.
And if Corinne Masiero slips so well into the skin of a homeless person, it is in particular because she herself has known the street, on several occasions, “in dotted lines” as she affirms in a new interview granted to Konbini this Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
The 59-year-old actress has repeatedly confided in this horrible life, or rather survival on the streets and the difficulties of being a woman. “When you’re a chick on the street, it’s double punishment. You get raped much more often than when you’re a guy. You get attacked, extorted” she explained to Brut last March before add: “When you have nothing left, you no longer have access to anything, you’re going to give a blowjob so you can sleep with the guy you’re giving a blowjob to or you’re going to sell your ass to have something to eat…”.
“Suck me or else I’ll shoot you”
On the eve of the release of the film “La Marginale”, Corinne Masiero returns for Konbini, to the sexual assaults of which she was the victim during her life on the street.
“When you’re a woman, everything is dangerous, when you’re a chick, even with the face I have… a hole is a hole for aggressors. And it’s not necessarily an attack with a knife under the throat, even though I’ve had it before, a gun on me. ‘Suck me or else I’ll shoot you…’ The hardest part is when you try to trick you, like a snake” she begins.
Corinne Masiero then explains that she has already been confronted with acquaintances offering to come to their house to “lend her a piece of sofa” before trying to get more: “And then the guy is sitting next to you and starts rubbing your back and you understand that if you don’t say yes, you’re still going to go outside. So you shut up and let it go.
The actress then makes a sad revelation: “I was even raped by a friend once, he didn’t hit me… Suddenly you’re flabbergasted by what’s going on and then he passes you over And when it’s over, you wonder what happened to you and on top of that you feel guilty because you say to yourself ‘why didn’t I say no…’. A speech welcomed by Internet users aware that it is necessary to draw attention to precariousness and violence against women in general.
