Published on the site of France Info and France Télévisions, she reveals the accusations of assault she allegedly suffered when she was 18 years old. However, this is not the first time that she has mentioned this story, but she had done so by voluntarily hiding the identity of her alleged attacker, in 2017 during an interview for the magazine. Star TV.
It was four years ago, at the time of another scandal, that of Harvey Weinstein. The fallen Hollywood producer was the subject of a global media earthquake that had allowed many women who had never dared to attack the influential American personality to dare to speak.
Maureen Dor’s confidences were already strong: “When I was very young, an animator summoned me to a hotel room. Like an idiot, I went there. (…) When I arrived, he threw himself on me. (…) I hope that now the girls will dare to speak out and that the lives of guys who think they are allowed anything will be hell. We could establish a code of conduct. No producer, host or director should be able to summon anyone to a hotel room, for example.“The tone is less solemn than in his recent letter, but already, the urge to release a weight is felt.”I do not name him, but he is very well known“, adds the presenter of Chalu maureen who does not feel ready to say everything, however, at the time of the controversial #balancetonporc.
At the material time, Maureen Dor admits that she did not have the right reflexes since she still went to dinner with Nicolas Hulot and his team, “fascinated by the man“:”it is because of what will follow that I think that my testimony is worthless: I returned there.“However, she had reflected on this event: “I wrote him a long letter in which I said not to do that to young girls who admired him. And the next day, I remember having passed the line of readers who were waiting for their dedication at the book fair. to put down to him theatrically on his table what I had to say to him. Our meeting, my letter, do not seem to have upset him since a few years later, I met him in the corridors of Canal + without him. recognize me.“
Today, Maureen Dor believes that it is necessary to speak, even if it is not “unpleasant means“. She still regrets today not to have lodged a complaint like another man who had everything of a predator and who supposedly wanted to see her to make her the face of a cosmetics brand. Today, l The 51-year-old animator, author and mother of two boys wants to contribute to the movement, even if it is difficult and it causes collateral damage, like the children of Nicolas Hulot: “some buried pains must come out to make room for new emotions which, for their part, will not hurt.“
