A preliminary investigation was opened on January 25 after a complaint, filed the same day, by the eldest daughter of the comedian concerning facts dating back to the year 1984-1985.
Richard Berry, for his part, denied
"with all (his) strength and without ambiguity"
these allegations.
"I have never had inappropriate or incestuous relations with Coline, or with any of my children,"
assured the actor in a long text published on his Instagram account on February 2.
"Kissed by her father on the mouth with the tongue"
According to the actor, the accusations of his daughter, revealed by
Le Point
, born of a previous union with the actress Catherine Hiegel, started
"seven years ago"
.
"While I was announcing to my family that my wife and I were expecting a child, Coline, herself pregnant, reacted with extreme violence, then, in an email sent to my wife, she for the first time alluded to to the fact that she would have been
"abused", "says the actor.
Richard Berry asserts that Coline would have
"reworked his story"
after the publication in January of Camille Kouchner's book, La Familia Grande
, in which the author accuses his former father-in-law, Olivier Duhamel, of having sexually assaulted his brother twin when he was a teenager.
The publication of this autobiographical story created a shock wave and freed the voices of victims, especially on social networks.

“had to participate in her sexual games in a context of notorious domestic violence”.
