She was speaking live for the first time.
Coline Berry, the daughter of actor Richard Berry, spoke at the microphone of Europe 1 this Wednesday morning to return to the accusations of incest, rape, sexual assault and corruption of a minor that she directs against his father and his ex-partner.
Coline Berry evokes in particular the need to speak out to counter certain comments, such as those of her aunt Marie Berry who presents her as an unstable person.
“I don't have the feeling of being unstable at all,” comments this 45-year-old mother, calmly speaking, at the microphone of Europe 1. For her, this kind of reaction, coming from her family or elsewhere , “Is still an assault”.

The facts that Coline Berry accuses her father and her ex-mother-in-law have taken place for several years, "before" her 8 years and "after" her 10 years, she specifies.

Coline Berry justifies her decision to speak by the impossibility of having a dialogue with her father, even though she says she is ready to forgive him.

"There is a moment when there is no longer any other solution"
Coline Berry easily justifies the time she took before filing a complaint.
