Shooting of a pornographic film in Los Angeles (illustration).

-

• The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation for “rapes” and “procuring” aimed at the shooting conditions of the films broadcast on the Jacquie et Michel platform.

• 20 Minutes

  was able to collect the testimonies of several actresses denouncing the rapes and ill-treatment suffered during the shooting of pornographic films, in link

  with Jacquie and Michel or not.

• On social networks, a movement denouncing sexual violence is starting to emerge, giving hope for a change in practices in the future.

Manon * had been telling her daily life as an X actress for a good half hour. Her enthusiastic beginnings in the profession after a career as a hairdresser.

His first scenes.

His first traumas, too.

Practices for which she was not prepared.

Not consenting.

The 32-year-old then interrupted her story suddenly.

And it was at that precise moment that she managed to sum up the problem in one sentence.

“It's hard to make people understand that we have been raped when your job is precisely to have sex.

But in fact, that's it… ”

Less than a week after the revelation of the opening of an investigation for "rape" and "procuring" targeting the shooting conditions of the pornographic videos broadcast on the Jacquie et Michel site, the testimonies targeting the practices of certain producers and directors flock.

“I ended up deleting the message I posted on Twitter because I was getting too many responses.

I could no longer follow, continues Manon who, among the first, revealed to have been sexually assaulted under the eye of the camera.

I have the feeling that something is going on… ”

There are more and more actresses taking the floor, how great is it OMG it was high time!

The beginning of a movement which I hope is not about to end!

Stronger all together!

#MeToo https://t.co/2GlLf8sNxZ

The denunciation movement has not yet taken the magnitude of the #MeToo wave that had swept in the wake of the Weinstein affair in 2017. But in the middle of the porn, the dyke cracks.

On social networks, #BalanceTonPorno could soon succeed #BalanceTonPorc.

And collect, in addition to that of Manon, the testimonies of Audrey, Julie, Estelle and Aïcha *.

On condition of anonymity, all these young women have agreed to tell

the sordid stories they have lived in recent years.

In connection with the Jacquie et Michel site or not.

"She's here for that!"

And she will smile in front of the camera!

"

For Estelle, it was in a Parisian apartment.

Uncomfortable, she had asked to shoot only classic scenes.

“The actors agreed.

But not the director, she says.

He replied: "No, fuck his mother! She's here for that! She's going to do that! And she's going to smile in front of the camera" ... "Novice, the young woman then lets herself go.

And regrets it even more by discovering, a few days later, that one of the actors gave him a sexually transmitted infection.

"Herpes ... I couldn't sit down anymore ... He had falsified his tests ..."

Before each shoot, the actors must indeed produce the results of medical examinations dating from less than a week and showing that they are not carriers of any disease.

For Manon too, the question of testing was one of the problems.

"Everything was going well until the moment when the cameraman decided to come and participate in the scene for his own pleasure," she protested.

That was not planned.

And of course, he hadn't taken a test.

It made him laugh.

It took me a long time to understand that it was rape.

Just like Aïcha, who spent "hours curled up under her quilt" after having undergone a practice that she did not even know when she arrived in the garage in Brittany where she shot her first film.

Or Julie, who had to let it go for the producer to agree to take her home by car.

Or Audrey, who found herself having to shoot with a very specific actor when she had specifically expressed her refusal beforehand ...

Naked in the sun in the middle of a field for hours

In the story of these bad films, we always find the same scenario.

Young and inexperienced actresses who are imposed on unforeseen practices and / or multiple partners once the camera is on.

"They are betting on the fact that the girls will not interrupt the filming once it's gone, and it works", Manon laments.

Kim knows something about it.

Actress during the 2000s, she remembers the golden age of porn when the director invited actresses to lunch to explain to them what he wanted to film with their agreement.

“There weren't many girls, there was no Internet.

To see porn, you had to buy cassettes or subscribe to Canal +.

The producers needed us.

Today, if a girl complains, we make her understand that there are plenty of others waiting outside… ”To change that, she decided to record the testimonies of victims herself and think about the idea of ​​disseminating them.

Parisian prods who do shit with beginner actresses abuse of weakness etc.

Without messing around and no one reacts yet? Hey actresses wake her up, eh, it's not because some people make you look that they have the right to treat you badly!

That must change!

According to her, the success of the “amateur” site Jacquie et Michel is no stranger to these recurring problems.

In ten years, he democratized the idea that anyone could act in an X movie. Anywhere and anytime.

“Suddenly, there are so many actresses that they accept everything for 150, 200 or 250 euros, summarizes Kim.

Without knowing what exactly they are getting into.

Like this girl who confided to him that she had to remain naked for hours in the middle of a field to shoot a scene when it is 40 degrees.

Or this other who says she was forced to sleep on the floor after a tiring shoot just because the director wanted to save a night in a hotel.

“Abroad, it does not happen like that, compares Lalie, another actress who has toured a lot.

There, we are pampered.

And no one would dare to force an actress to do something she refuses… ”

Cocaine and consent ...

If the protest rumbles, the directors did not wait to protect themselves.

They know the facts are very difficult to prove.

Especially since at the end of each film, they got into the habit of shooting a small sequence in which the actresses declare that they were consenting and that they were neither alcoholic nor drugged during the shooting.

This is to protect against any risk of prosecution.

“This is the height of hypocrisy, denounces Manon.

I remember very well one time when I made the video when we had taken cocaine half an hour before… ”But the actresses must comply with the exercise just before receiving their remuneration.

So, willy-nilly, they do it.

“But the day mine will come out, it won't be very complicated to see that I'm lying, loose Audrey.

I was so traumatized by the scene… ”

Fan networks now privileged

Manon waited nine months to send her testimony on Twitter.

“In fact, it's through working with respectful people that I realize how much they have treated me badly.

Strangely, salvation for her and the other actresses might come from the audience.

On Twitter, an actress published the message sent to her by one of her fans.

He wanted to know which video she was raped on so he wouldn't watch her.

I'm dying😭❤️.

This kind of followers, I love you.

And this awareness could accompany a change in the porn world.

After the video clubs ten years ago, or the mastodons of the web in recent years (Xhmaster, YouPorn, etc.), actors and actresses could tomorrow invest much more private spheres without the need for producers.

Thus, many of them have opened an account on the Onlyfans platform created in 2016. On this site, “fans” must pay a subscription to access the exclusive photos and videos available on the “creators” account.

On Onlyfans, you don't need a producer or director.

A simple webcam is enough.

“This summer, with friends, we rented a villa funded in part by our fans,” says Manon.

We shot without any problem.

And the result will soon be posted on our respective accounts.

"

This has not gone unnoticed.

Just after confinement, Jacquie and Michel announced the opening of their own platform of the same type.

Her name ?

Mercifans ...
