Chiara Mastroianni recounts her great anger against her mother Catherine Deneuve and her “freedom to annoy”

« She got fooled »believes Chiara Mastroianni. In an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera on December 30, Marcello Mastroianni’s daughter revealed that she had a big argument with her mother about the platform on « the freedom to annoy » signed on January 9, 2018 by Catherine Deneuve. This column, in response to #MeToo and the freedom of speech on sexist and sexual violence that appeared in the wake of this movement, was published on the website of the Monde . It was written by a collective of one hundred women who wanted to defend « a freedom to annoy, essential to sexual freedom ».

Chiara Mastroianni revealed that she had been « mortified » during this discovery: « I told him : “Listen, it would have been better if you wrote it down”, because she writes very well. For me the text arrived at the wrong time and was written with the feet as they say in French and I don’t think by such well-intentioned people »declared the actress before concluding: “Actually, I think she got screwed on that one. »

« This story about her damn poorly written poster was the subject of a big argument between her and me. But we have never had arguments that lead us to stop talking to each other. In fact, luckily we had arguments because some parents wouldn’t even admit to having an honest conversation with their children. My mother accepted that I could disagree, it’s the sign of great intelligence. said the actress. Before concluding: « And to come back to this damn text that she signed, I think we have to put things in context, I think that the actresses of this generation, of this beauty, have seen and experienced things that no one knows about. The question is even asked: is it good or not? All right ? »

For the record, this text mentioned the MeToo movement and its supposed « dangers » : « This expeditious justice already has its victims, men sanctioned in the exercise of their profession, forced to resign, etc., when their only fault was to have touched a knee, attempted to steal a kissing, talking about intimate things at a professional dinner or sending messages with sexual connotations to a woman for whom the attraction was not reciprocal ».
