Is French cinema the victim of homophobia? Yes, according to Muriel Robin. Indeed, the 68-year-old actress and companion of Anne Le Nen, aroused numerous reactions during her appearance in What an era on September 16, 2023, when she raised the subject. Facing Léa Salamé, Pierre Palmade’s ex-acolyte gave a violent rant about the fact that actors and actresses who accept their homosexuality have almost no chance of making a career in the industry.
“I’m the only one in the whole world to say I’m homosexual. You hear, the only actress in the world, and that’s why for 30 years, I wasn’t made to work in the cinema. So you’re going to let me say, there is Jodie Foster. But she kept silent for 30 years”she lamented in the show France 2before continuing: “We can also talk about Kristen Stewart, but she was first with Robert Pattinson, so her homosexuality is a bit rock. She can change her mind.”

Valérie Lemercier recognizes that French cinema is “probably” homophobic but…
Muriel Robin deplores the fact that all “comedians keep quiet”. “I know gay French actors, and we will never know that they are gay. If they say it, they know that we will never put a woman in their arms again! Name me a single gay actor who is a great career?”, she also assured. This Friday, November 3, 2023, Valérie Lemercier
which was precisely replaced by Muriel Robin In Visitors
in 1998, gave his opinion on the subject during his visit to RTL Good evening.
Asked about the fact that French cinema is the victim of homophobia, the 59-year-old actress admitted that it was “probably”. She also believes that the recent comments of her colleague will make it possible to “make things change.” However, she notes that“There are actors who say it openly and who work. I still think that it has changed.” A way to minimize Muriel Robin’s accusations?
