It was in 2006. On the set of CaueTivi, Cécile de Ménibuswas violently attacked by Rocco Siffredi, live and in front of many other guests present, and Sébastien Cauet. A sequence, which, at the time, did not make much noise, but which, out of its time today, has caused a lot of ink to flow. Faced with the hilarity of the assembly, the Italian pornographic actor forced Cécile de Ménibus to simulate a sexual act, by taking her by force on the table and by the buttocks; a sequence that Cécile de Ménibus had experienced very badly, and which had continued behind the scenes, as she had revealed to Gala years later : “What he did on set was terrible. What’s terrible is what he did behind the scenes, grab me and stick his tongue in my mouth. I cleared him, called security, it was very complicated, she added. His attitude is stupid because it is humiliating. We’re not on set.”.
A sequence now unearthed by Cauet’s detractors. Aimed by a judicial investigation following a complaint for “rape of a minor over 15 years old”, the host is criticized on the Web for not having supported his colleague during this very uncomfortable sequence. On “Have you thought of me for a single moment ? Have you wondered if opening my account every day and seeing the repercussions of your tweet could have an impact on me? Why didn’t you ask me if I could be shocked to see this moment again and again?” she protests.
“The only one responsible is Rocco Siffredi”
And to continue, reminding his interlocutor that he is targeting the wrong target: “It’s obviously Cauet that you’re targeting. You’re wrong. The only one responsible for this situation is Rocco Siffredi. He is the one who disrespects me, and who will add an inappropriate act behind the scenes. I have already spoken about this moment, you are forcing me to start again (…) Yes, I hate this sequence but we are all a little responsible for having let it happen. Let’s look at this sequence in context but don’t downplay the actor’s attitude, because that’s what you do. Not a word about him? For what ? So just be like I’m trying to be. This moment doesn’t belong to you, so don’t trample on it by deflecting the name predator and name it. Thank you.”
For Cauet, Cécile de Ménibus “warmed him up”
If she wants to defend Sébastien Cauet with these words, the fact remains that the latter had refused to support Cécile de Ménibus a few years ago. In 2017, in an interview given to Pure Mediathe host had tackled his colleague, whom he accused of making a fuss over a sequence in which, according to him, she had “heated” the Italian X-rated actor: “I called Cécile and told her to stop her circus. Sorry, but… I told him to stop bringing out that thing every time (…) She had heated up Rocco Siffredi a little. (…) We know Rocco Siffredi. It’s a kind of animal. For him it remains a joke. At the time, this sequence shocked no one..
Dear Sir, Since November 17 you have posted this sequence. Have you thought of me for a single moment? Have you wondered if opening my account every day and seeing the repercussions of your tweet could have an impact on me? Why didn’t you ask me if… https://t.co/1Oaj8Gm3qt
