His accusations caused a real earthquake in the world of French cinema. At 52, Judith Godrèche filed a complaint against Benoît Jacquot for rape of a minor. She denounces the control the director had over her during their relationship. She was then 15 years old, he was 40. The actress also filed a new complaint against another director, Jacques Doillon, also for rape of a minor. She accuses Lou Doillon's father of having abused her on the set of

Alexandra Lamy supports Judith Godrèche

After testifying on television sets, Judith Godrèche spoke at the 49th César ceremony to denounce the abuses of cinema, an art which sometimes covers "illicit trafficking in young girls". “You have to be wary of little girls, they touch the bottom of the pool, they get injured, but they bounce back,” she said, in front of the world of the seventh art gathered at the Olympia. 

A speech welcomed by many artists, including Alexandra Lamy, very committed to the fight against sexist and sexual violence. Guest of the show

Tuesday March 26 to talk about her film

 La Promesse verte,

the actress took the opportunity to reaffirm her support for Judith Godrèche. “I find what Judith Godrèche did extraordinary. Because she is a personality and it is difficult to speak like that,” she declared to Nathalie Levy.

The actress is nevertheless worried about the future of her colleague in the cinema: "She is perfectly aware that in front, everyone applauds her and tells her that it is wonderful for the profession, which she has done. But it's going to be very difficult for her to work behind it. I'm sure she's very aware of that. We need to call each other to talk about it." Alexandra Lamy concludes by saluting the courage of Judith Godrèche: “It also shows that it affects all walks of life, that’s why it’s extraordinary that she spoke out and went all the way.”
