"
I fell from the clouds,
" reacted Thierry Doucre, the marketing director of Jacquie and Michel, to the daily 20 Minutes.
He considered "
bizarre
" the opening of the investigation, entrusted to the Parisian judicial police.
“
It's astonishing because Jacquie et Michel are not producers of films.
In reality, actresses do not shoot for us but for production companies from which we then buy films,
”he said.
"
We make an agreement with
" the production companies that shoot the scenes.
“
We show the films and give them a percentage that has been negotiated.
Once again, we are not the owners of the videos,
”he said.
The investigation was opened on July 10 on the basis of a report sent by three feminist associations.
Dare feminism, the Effronté-es and the Nid movement made this report in February after the broadcast of a video by the
Konbini
site
.
In this document entitled “
the sordid backstage of amateur porn
”, two women testified to sexual practices imposed against their will during filming.
“
I saw that this (the investigation, editor's note) follows a report from feminist associations.
It makes me laugh yellow.
Abolitionist associations.
Of the kind that dangles fake blood on the facades of shops ...
”said the marketing director of Jacquie et Michel, a flourishing company founded in 1999 and which now competes with Dorcel, one of the leaders in the pornographic industry.
"An actress normally knows what is planned"
Thierry Doucre said he was also surprised that actresses had undergone sexual acts for which they were not prepared: “
the fees of actresses correspond to specific practices and to the number of participants with whom they will be confronted.
In other words, with her contract, an actress normally knows what is planned,
”he said.
And to add: "
After free to each producer to fix things ...
".
"
As soon as we know that a shooting is going badly, we stop working with the production company concerned,
" he also assured.
This "
happened twice
" in 2012 and then in 2013, according to the director.
"
If the investigation reveals questionable practices of certain producers, we will be alongside the courts to have them condemned
", promises Thierry Doucre.
