Asked to react to Judith Godrèche's recent accusations made against directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon, Charles Berling states:
“Behavior is changing, and so much the better.
I believe that it is very important that women's voices are freed, and not just women.
Of anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse because there are boys too
.
The 65-year-old actor and director then affirmed that this change was fundamental and all the more complicated as it can, at times, not be heard.
But his point of view is not simply external.
“I was able to witness this and I was able to experience this myself, as a man.
I was able to experience it with female directors.

He continues:
“When you are an actor or actress, you are in a relationship with the realization not of an object but as a sort of object of desire, as Buñuel said.
So there may be, on the part of the person who is portraying you, a temptation to go beyond their domain, to feel inappropriate pressure which is not professional
.
And if the actor did not wish to publicize these incidents, it is simply because he felt he had
“resolved the problem at that time by speaking with the person and explaining himself”
.
“For me, it was this opportunity but [...] even more so at 14-15 years old, we are in a situation of vulnerability,”
he explains.
