The noose is tightening around Gérard Miller. This Thursday, February 8, 2024, 41 women testified against the famous psychoanalyst. Among them, “thirty gave a detailed account of their meeting, 18 mention incidents of rape and sexual assault which allegedly occurred between 1993 and 2020, the others mention attempts,” our colleagues report.
If all these women assure that Gérard Miller relied on a well-established operating procedure by applying hypnosis to achieve his ends. For his part, the former columnist firmly denies the facts with which he is accused. “These clarifications made, it is impossible for me in these circumstances to respond to such accusations in conditions that are dignified and respectful of the speech and rights of each and everyone”-he said in a press release published on X (formerly Twitter).
This Friday, February 9, 2024, one of his accusers, the host Muriel Cousin, testified for the first time on television. She explains the background of their meeting: “One day he arrived at the editorial office, he said: ‘I would like to write a paper on hypnosis so I need a guinea pig in quotes and I was quite interested in all the therapies that could exist so I said to myself great and he has such an aura… He is a psychoanalyst, he is supposed to treat wounded souls, he is therefore supposed to treat those who have had trauma, he is not supposed to create any so I went there in trust”.
“So he invited me to his offices and he started a hypnosis session. I was lying on the floor, he got next to me and he started putting his hand under my sweater, touching me. touching the breasts, then his hand in my pants on my penis. At that moment, I had an instinct to flee, I told myself that it wasn’t normal…” she then remembered
“He started a hypnosis session, started putting his hand under my sweater, in my pants. I was in great pain, I was devastated.” Gérard Miller affair: find the strong testimony of Muriel Cousin tomorrow from from 7 p.m. in #CLHebdo ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/Tt5QL4mf79
