Camille Kouchner, who denounced the sexual assaults on her twin committed according to her by their father-in-law Olivier Duhamel, said Monday she was "amazed" by the many cases that her book "La Familia grande" has brought out.
“I'm actually amazed at what's going on,” she said on TMC's Daily.
“I am delighted with this release of speech.
[…] I absolutely did not expect that.
I still had the feeling that after the #metoo movement, Vanessa Springora's book, this evolution in society […] in any case I was going to be able to be heard.
That maybe this was the time.
But from there to what is this echo there, no I was not expecting it ”, she explained.
"La Familia grande" appeared at the beginning of January a year after "Le Consentement" by Vanessa Springora, where this editor recounted her relationship under the influence in the 1980s when she was 14 years old with a writer who was 35 years older.
"Presumably it is society that listens"
Since January, the revelations of cases of sexual assault or rape have multiplied, targeting in the world of culture the actor Richard Berry, the artist Claude Lévêque or the television producer Gérard Louvin.
“Presumably it's society that listens.
Because in any case in my book I try to show that we tried to talk for a long time.
So here it is: it seems to be the society that listens, ”explained Camille Kouchner.
