    The actress Patricia Tulasne claims to have been assaulted by Gilbert Rozon in 1994.

    “Firstly, I would like to put something clear: I never uttered the word “rape”, I’ve always spoken of the relationship not desired. For me, there is a small nuance, a rape is more traumatic, it seems to me that what I have experienced, but it was very clearly a relationship not desired,” she said Thursday in an interview.

    At the time, Patricia Tulasne worked for Just for Laughs. She played in the theatre play Le dîner de cons. In the evening of the last performance, there was a small celebration in a restaurant.

    “Time to leave, I didn’t have my car, it was in the garage. It was proposed to me as we lived in the same neighborhood of me a ride home, so I agreed and we went. Until then, everything was going well,” she told.

    The actress adds that she didn’t really know Rozon at the time.

    “After arriving home, it was there that he asked me if he could mount it in my apartment. I told him no, that I had to go for a walk with my dog and I had to get up early the next day. He told me no problem, I’ll go for a walk with your dog,” remembered the actress.

    The actress has said that she would go walk his dog with him and that he would eventually leave. After a walk of about an hour or an hour and a half, according to Patricia Tulasne, he again walked her home and this is where it would be entered by force into the apartment of the actress.

    “He has me pressed against a wall, he unbuttoned my dress and then, here. We don’t know how to react when these things happen, mentioned Patricia Tulasne. I was working for him, he is a mighty man. And finally, I said, I’m going to give in, it’s going to take 10 minutes and he will go, he will fuck me the peace and I’ll be free.”

    It has recroisé shortly after in an opening and it is at this time that she realized the extent of his “malfunction”, since he would come talk to him to tell him that he was sorry not to have remembered.

    “This is where I understood that for him, in his head, we had spent a romantic evening, I don’t know. It is there that I understood that this man is sick!”, she exclaimed.

    Patricia Tulasne says that she has not filed a complaint because she believes that it does not give much. At that time, she saw herself in the position of the guilty, while she was the victim. She was afraid to say “you have slept with, thou hast sought,” she has also talked to anyone.

    “I felt a kind of shame and guilt he should feel, but obviously to him it didn’t bother him,” she said.

    It is the wave of denunciations against Gilbert Rozon, who has given her the courage to Patricia Tulasne to tell what happened to him.
