If his speech was greeted by the actors, actresses, directors, and all the other guests of the 49th César ceremony at the Olympia, the speech of Judith Godreche
obviously didn’t convince everyone. Indeed, Friday February 23, 2024, Dany Boon’s ex-partner spoke for several minutes to discuss the “unsaid things” in the cinema industry, and her personal case.
Several weeks ago, the 51-year-old actress announced she was filing a complaint against filmmakers Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon for rape of a minor and also mentioned these complaints in her speech. But for some, Judith Godreche “talk too much”. In any case, this is the astonishing observation of a listener received by Pascal Praud on Europe 1 this Monday, February 26.
“You know what I think, it’s always the same thing that is expressed”first blurted out a listener named Barbara when the journalist asked her for her opinion on the situation, before continuing: “We should perhaps ask great actresses like Fanny Ardant, Catherine Deneuve, Carole Bouquet, who are other great actresses, and much more beautiful, excuse me for telling you, if one day they had this kind of reports”.

Judith Godrèche could have “reacted before” according to a listener
Pascal Praud then cut her off and recalled that the actresses cited by the listener “were not 15 years old”. “The problem is age. In what Judith Godrèche says, the problem is that she is 14 or 15 years old”, he told her. Obviously, age is not a problem for Barbara: “Yes she’s 14 but she doesn’t have to give in!”
Pascal Praudto try to make his guest aware of the situation, then reminded her that the problem does indeed come from age and above all “of the influence”. “I am surprised by your position. What I hear is that at 14 or 15 years old, we do not have the maturity, we can be more fragile, we do not have the character…”he added but was quickly cut off: “Look, I don’t agree with you.”
For the listener, when a man puts his hands on the breasts, at 14 or 15 years old, “We still realize that this is not normal.” “The hand on the buttocks is the same. I think that Judith Godrèche, it’s boring to talk about this woman constantly, this woman filmed films with two directors whom she accuses today, 40 years later …”concluded Barbara, still not convinced by the words of the 51-year-old actress.
Shocked by what he had just heard, Pascal Praud admitted to his guest that he did not understand the reasons for his anger towards Judith Godreche. For the journalist, it is mainly against the people who have abused her that we must take action and not the other way around.
