She is a "nepo baby" and the canvas does not like it. Daughter of singer Benjamin Biolay and actress Chiara Mastroianni, Anna Biolay, 19, landed her first film role in the film Rosalie, nominated for the Un Certain Regard prize, in which she plays opposite her father. On Thursday, May 18, the day of the screening of the feature film, signed Stéphanie Di Giusto, father and daughter climbed the steps of the Palais des Festivals. The young woman was taking her first steps on the Cannes red carpet.

Mocked on the physical
An image that earned Anna Biolay to be, for "24 hours", violently criticized and mocked on social networks. So much so that her aunt, Coralie Biolay, "who never stops reading absolute horrors about her", could not help but publish a long forum on her Instagram account to defend "a 20-year-old child" (she will celebrate them next April, Editor's note). "Besides being the daughter of and moreover having no talent and not having to work (obviously!), she reads that she looks like a dog, even a severely disabled ... in other words that she is fat and ugly and that she has nothing to do in the French film landscape," wrote Benjamin Biolay's 44-year-old sister.
And to continue: "I look at her beautiful as the day in front of me, of an incredible kindness, intelligence and clairvoyance for her young age and I see how this ultrasensitive young woman suffers from reading such bursts of wickedness and hatred when the only thing she has done is to be part thanks to her work and her relentlessness and her undeniable talent (it is mandatory!) of the casting of a good film". Coralie Biolay stressed that her niece did not take "the place of anyone". "She has passed 50 castings, she has read, worked, analyzed tons of films, she does not leave the street, certainly, but she does not have to suffer so many ignominies from the top of her twenty years," she added in her text, attached to a photo of Anna Biolay.

Mothers
Among the "haters", Coralie Biolay also said she was shocked by the number of mothers in the fray. "How bitterness can lead to the worst of human beings," she wondered. You're going to say I'm not objective? Without a doubt, this is one of the people I love most in my life, but I can't let hatred and violence destroy the confidence and pride of a 20-year-old, it's just despicable."
Finally, Coralie Biolay, herself an actress, had a thought for all the "girls of" who "stir up hatred because they are beautiful, talented and well born". "Moral aggression is a crime like physical aggression," she concluded. Everyone would be shocked to see a beautiful and sweet 20-year-old woman being beaten up in the street. Well know that my niece has just experienced a gigantic aggression and that her bruises are clearly visible. I just wish all those people behind their screens realized that they were beating up children for free. You are simply monstrous."
