A new complaint filed against Jean Imbert. Last April, four former partners of the Michelin-starred chef revealed in the magazine Elle that they had been victims of psychological and physical violence. Already facing two complaints, the latest filed in September by a fifth alleged victim, Jean Imbert is now the subject of a third complaint filed by Alexandra Rosenfeld in February 2026.
The former Miss France also accuses him of physical and psychological violence that occurred during their relationship between 2013 and 2014. According to information from the show “Complément d’enquête,” reported by Franceinfo on March 25, Alexandra Rosenfeld accuses Jean Imbert of fracturing her nose during the filming of a cooking show in October 2013. At the time, the couple co-hosted the show “Recettes de fous” broadcast on M6.
A headbutt for a simple message
In this episode of “Complément d’enquête” to be broadcast on Thursday, March 26, Alexandra Rosenfeld recounted the circumstances of her assault. She claimed that Jean Imbert let his rage explode after she received a message from the father of her 3-year-old daughter regarding a custody issue. The Top Chef winner allegedly first insulted her, then grabbed her by the arms and headbutted her. “I put my hand to my nose, I see blood. I start to scream, I am horrified,” recalled the former Miss France.
The “Complément d’enquête” team was able to collect the testimony of the makeup artist present on the set that day. She explained that “her face was swollen, her nose had tripled in size, she had a wound on the bridge of her nose. … It was pink, blue.” “And then, I thought: ‘Clearly, there was no holding back,'” she continued.
“I am made to do the show as if it had never happened”
According to a radiography report the next day, Alexandra Rosenfeld suffered a “trauma from direct impact” causing a “fracture of the nasal bones.” Despite this serious finding, the production wanted to continue filming, asking the makeup artist to conceal the host’s injuries. “For me, it was inhumane, but what could I do? I was just a makeup artist,” she revealed.
“I am made to do the show as if it had never happened. It traumatized me almost more than the actual blow,” added Alexandra Rosenfeld. When questioned, the two producers of “Recettes de fous” claim that the former miss agreed to continue filming. More to follow.
