On the occasion of the Cannes Film Festival, "C à vous" has set up its stage on La Croisette. A first for Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine's team who officiates live and especially in the presence of an audience. "A real editorial issue" as the journalist told us. This Wednesday, May 17, "C à vous" received the director Maïwenn Le Besco who proposes Jeanne du Barry, presented out of competition.

A climb of the steps and a theatrical release tainted by a news item. On March 7, Edwy Plenel filed a complaint against Maïwenn Le Besco for assault. The co-founder of Mediapart accuses him of having "grabbed him by the hair with violence, throwing his head back and spitting on his face". The director and actress acknowledged her gesture last Wednesday when she was the guest of "Quotidien" on TMC. A sequence that caused a strong reaction. In question, the casual attitude of the filmmaker and for some, the lightness of Yann Barthès' questions. Since then it's been a media ping-pong. "She made a gesture to please her world and that's why she bragged about it on TV," Edwy Plenel told Variety.
"Does he regret it?"
As a journalist, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine could not avoid the subject while interviewing Maïwenn. The journalist tries to get explanations from the filmmaker to explain her action. "Me, I want to talk about Jeanne du Barry" kicks at first the young woman before calling out in turn to the host: "Did you ask him the question? Does he regret it?" Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine assures him, "if he were there, I would ask him the question". She then wondered why that regret might have been made. Maïwenn, visibly annoyed by the question, says she prefers "not to talk about it" before declaring, simply: "I do not regret".
