Since its appearance in the press, the Patrick Bruel affair has continued to stir up reactions. In the camp of those who defend the singer, Anny Duperey spoke for the first time.
Accused by around thirty women of sexist and sexual violence, Patrick Bruel was placed in police custody on the morning of Monday June 8. This affair has been making a lot of noise in the media for several months and reactions have been coming one after the other. The latest, at the microphone of Karim Sebbouh, comes from the actress Anny Duperey who did not fail to defend the singer: “I don’t know what he did, what he didn’t do. Maybe he was crazy with girls. Is this to the point of destroying a career? » Since the impact of the affair and the dissemination of numerous testimonies, Patrick Bruel and his representatives took the decision to cancel his concerts planned from June to September “in the interest of appeasement and responsibility†.
On June 4, three days before the end of the performances of the play “Second Part” given at the Édouard-VII Theater and in which Patrick Bruel had been playing since the beginning of the year, the ticket office became inaccessible. The reason for this inability is not that the show is sold out but rather that it was canceled before its end date. On the website of the Parisian establishment, an explanation was given: “Dear spectators, In agreement with the actors, the management of the Théâtre Édouard-VII has made the decision to cancel the last 5 representations of the piece. […] We thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards. The Édouard-VII Theater team. »
“The girls threw themselves at him”
Questioned by the journalist from “Public”, the actress Anny Duperey offered her opinion on the question: “I am deeply feminist and I think that there are things that need to change. It’s true that there were abuses, abuses of power, there were terrible things. On the other hand, this mania where every week there is a famous guy to be killed, that annoys me.” Sara Giraudeau’s mother speaks of “popular killing” and recalled images from the past to try to defend the artist: “I saw a report a long time ago where girls threw themselves at him. When they are hysterical and want something, they have no shame. None. A girl is crazy. He’s not gentler than a boy when he gets down to it.”
