Dieudonné's reputation tarnished again, this time by a poignant testimony. The former companion of the controversial comedian, convicted multiple times for anti-Semitism, accused him of "psychological violence", and denounced his "sectarian organization", in a lengthy interview given to our colleagues from Le Parisien.
Noémie Montagne shared the life of Dieudonné Mbala Mbala for fifteen years. It now targets him, three after his separation, in two complaints, registered with the gendarmerie in 2022 and 2023. "My complaint concerns a financial aspect - embezzlement of assets of a company that is still in my name," begins Noémie Montagne, who had been sentenced alongside Dieudonné in 2019 for tax fraud and insolvency organization. He continued: "(But) there is everything else. In 2020, my eldest daughter became psychologically ill. It woke me up and, with the help of specialists, the words came out; They told me about psychological violence, control and sectarian organization."

"Dieudonné is not funny in life"
The ex-girlfriend then accuses the comedian of wanting to be "the center of everything". "Everyone who approaches his circle ends up working for him. He embarks them on projects and knocks them out with work to the point that no one thinks anymore," she says, before scathing: "Dieudonné is not funny in life. He only talks about his projects, and depending on the interlocutor he changes completely." According to her, the comedian "plays a role permanently".
Surprising depreciative remarks, given the presence of Noémie Montagne on Dieudonné's "anti-Zionist" list in the 2009 European elections, and the fact that she was at the head of his production company and all its accounts. "In reality, I didn't control anything (...) I was under control, several doctors have since testified to it." Jean-Marie Le Pen, former president of the National Front, had also become the godfather of his daughter: Dieudonné "presented this to me as a media stunt. It means nothing to me."

She also returns to an episode of her life as a couple, when she "wanted to leave", in 2010. "I told him. (Then) he followed me in the car, he prevented me from sleeping. One night, he started playing the piano to wake up all the children. I locked myself in the toilet and called the gendarmes. When they arrived, everyone was awake. Dieudonné has changed completely, he has taken an air now, saying "excuse my wife, the poor girl, she breastfeeds". And he made them laugh. At that very moment, I passed away for good.
»Today, three years after her separation, Noémie Montagne said to our colleagues "still dependent" on Dieudonné. "He pays me a pension. I can't find a job. Any employer runs away when they type my name on the Internet." And to conclude: "I am marked with a red iron".
