Justice will draw conclusions on this case where two versions conflict. The first is that of the actress Sara Forestier, revealed to French cinema by “L’Esquive”. The actress recently returned to the poster for “Trois amis” by Emmanuel Mouret. During an appearance on the show “Quotidien” in November, the Cesar-winning actress shared the reasons for her absence from film sets for three years, accusing, without mentioning it, of having been hit by actor Nicolas Duvauchelle. .
“I needed to take a few years to rebuild myself because I had been hit by an actor on a film,” explained Sara Forestier, without quoting him. I went to the police station, I left the film. We talk very little about this for women: trauma. That is to say, there is everything after (Or) you have to rebuild yourself. So I took this time. I filed a complaint. “. “Trauma is not taken into account in cinema. We often joke about damaged women saying that they are crazy. We have to take the time to rebuild ourselves,” she lamented.
Finally, it was Nicolas Duvauchelle himself who revealed himself on Instagram, a few days later. On Instagram, the French actor himself accused Sara Forestier of having slapped him. “Let it be clear to all the pseudo cardboard vigilantes… I never touched Sara Forestier,” wrote the actor in a story. “Several witnesses were present, including the director, and an investigation was carried out by the courts,” he added, demanding “to respect the verdict”. “I plan to sue all the smart guys who continue to cowardly post messages to me,” Nicolas Duvauchelle then thundered, before concluding: “I have a family and children. Please respect them and respect the truth and not your fantasies. »
A new complaint for defamation
During the filming of “Bonhomme”, in 2017, she shared the set with actor Nicolas Duvauchelle. After receiving a violent slap from her partner, according to her, Sara Forestier left the filming and her role was taken over by Ana Girardot.
Nicolas Duvauchelle’s exit on social networks did not please the “Name of People” actress. The actress announced this Tuesday that she would file a complaint against him for defamation within the week. “I have absolutely no doubt that Nicolas Duvauchelle took advantage of the chaos of the situation to try to hide or disguise his actions,” she explained on the set of the Mediapart show.

The 38-year-old actress jokes about the different versions of the incident. “In the minutes, he himself said: I pushed Sara’s face away with my hand… All right. We’ll keep it very simple, (…) he hits the window, he hits a chair. What’s the story, is The Matrix? He slaps everywhere and when he comes close to my face, suddenly he becomes soft? In this case, we will also say that he gave me a caress! We have to stop, I know what I went through,” she says indignantly.
Sara Forestier, angry at the comments of the actor in the series “Fortune de France”, continues. “In front of everyone, I say this sentence: He slapped me, you take me to the police immediately. This actor subsequently remained on the film. I left, so he had plenty of time to mix with these people, to continue to feed his version of the facts…” Faced with accusations of slapping that she allegedly inflicted on the “Braquo” actor, Sara Forestier gets annoyed : “While in front of the police in the report, he says that I never touched him… When someone is capable of lying once, what is his word worth? »
