After the actresses, the actors accuse.
In recent days, a hashtag has been spreading virally on social networks: #MeTooGarçons, which started in the 7th art but which now goes well beyond.
Stéphane Gaillard speaks of a “combination of circumstances”.
“We didn’t consult,” he assures us.
On Thursday, the 52-year-old casting director announced on Instagram that he had created metooacteurs@gmail.com, an address intended to encourage “cinema boys” victims of sexual abuse to “tell their stories in absolute anonymity ".
A few hours later, still on Instagram, actor Aurélien Wiik revealed that he had been abused from the ages of 11 to 15 by his agent and other members of his entourage.
Known for his role in the TV series “Munch” (TF1), the 43-year-old actor blames “directors”, “producers” and mentions “attacks, harassment, attempted rape”.
“Until I was 25, I was offered roles in exchange for favors.
They often tried to drug me,” added Aurélien Wiik.
Before encouraging male victims to speak out by launching the hashtag #MeTooGarçons.
The next day, Francis Renaud, Olivier Marchal's favorite actor aged 56, published the photo of a complaint that he had filed the day before against the filmmaker André Téchiné ("My favorite season", "Les Roseaux sauvage », “Les Âmes lettres”…) and casting director Gérard Moulevrier for “sexual harassment, serious pressure to perform an act of a sexual nature, repeated death threats and sexual assault”.
