sexual harassment

She took her time before talking. On Monday 16 October, on his account Instagram, Marion Cotillard has finally made its voice heard on Harvey Weinstein, with whom she has worked on several occasions.

“What is happening in this moment is very important. For all the world. Important to Harvey Weinstein. “In a lengthy text posted on his account Instagram, this Monday, 16 October, Marion Cotillard is finally expressed on the case, Weinstein – the producer is accused by many actresses of sexual harassment or rape. The actress was definitely the French favorite of the tycoons of Hollywood : he would have wanted to work with her on The Kid but had not obtained the distribution of the film in the United States at the time, and had caught up by then with the films Nine and Macbeth.

Marion Cotillard, French most recognized in Hollywood, did not hesitate to condemn Harvey Weinstein. “He must face what he has done for too long a time and must understand that this is unhealthy, and criminal, and that he must make amends, wrote the actress. I hope, I hope that this will help them to become a better person. This is important because one can hope that it will deter others from reproducing the same acts with impunity. The power does not give the right to commit crimes. The actress also stated to have faced it also with the pressures of “predators”, without going so far as to give their names.

More than once in my career I was confronted to a situation where I had to dodge predators. All the brave women who have spoken up are hopefully opening a new chapter. I have much respect for them and I support them with all my heart. This is the time to unfold and deconstruct a horrifying system. This is the time we, women AND men, denounce it loud so that we create a profound change and those terrifying things never happen again. This is the time we examine our consciousness and to which degree we have tolerated abuse? This is the time to heal. What is happening today, is very important. For everyone. Important for Harvey Weinstein. He has to face what he has been doing for too long and needs to understand it is sick and criminal and that he has to make amends. I hope, I wish it will help him to become a better person. Important because it will hopefully dissuade others to act with impunity. Power doesn’t give right to crime. Important for These beautiful women. What soften the deep sadness I feel today is that they are on a path of reconciliation and they will rise stronger. They are opening our eyes and heart, and all the souls that were harmed this way will know from now on that they are supported. And I want to tell them that vulnerability is not a weakness, it is a quality that should be cherish, respected and protected.
