Ary Abittan called me crazy, that I took my wishes for realities. He said that he was hot and just took off his shoes. It is true that he saw me crazy because he was totally disgusted and indignant. “The actress also reported that the producer of the film would later come looking for her to ask her” calm down “, that Ary Abittan was” the star “, before they told him what it was” the new bourvil ».
The other testimony that works in the file is that of a young woman who met the actor for the first time, in February 2017, on the occasion of his birthday at home. She would have indicated in particular that she was found at the entrance of the actor’s apartment, before being kissed “ immediately in the mouth ». « I was surprised because it had been sudden and furtive (…) I didn’t take it badly because the atmosphere was good-natured (…) For me it was a non-event “, She explained. She would then have indicated that she had found him again”, in a party “, in 2018 where she would have agreed to leave her phone number.
“
I wanted this young woman to know that she was not the only one who had suffered from Ary Abittan’s behavior.
“
Ary Abittan quickly contacted her again and then would have offered to see her at her home. ” I hesitated a bit but I am not a child, going to a man’s house for coffee was not a problem for me. “, he said again. Once there, the young woman highlighted having “ found different ». « I like what I see “The actor would have slipped then. He also described a scene of caresses on his legs and belly: ” His attitude was too abrupt for me (…) I didn’t know what to do (…) I didn’t feel in danger, but I found his attitude strange. »
Ary Abittan would then have kissed him on the mouth. ” And at the same time he put his hand in my pants (…) I moved away from him and told him that he was going too fast for me, that it was not what I wanted “He assured the police and then described an amazing scene in which the actor would have gone to look for dirty clothes and would have started to fold them in front of her. ” He told me that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder and that his life was complicated. He had a behavior that is not that of someone normal, of a man who tries to seduce a woman; he was too much of an animal and now he was behaving like a child who couldn’t handle his frustration. »
After leaving the actor’s house, the young woman sought explanations from him during a telephone conversation: ” What had happened disturbed me. I felt stupid, dirty and humiliated. He told me that he didn’t have time, that he had his job, a busy life, (…) that he didn’t just have that to think about, so he cut off the conversation. » « It is his totally unromantic way of behaving that completely blocked me, it was too bestial, she told investigators. The impression of being only expendable (…) I would like to clarify that he did not force me to do anything, nor was he violent with me ».
Regarding the reason for his testimony, several years after the events, he explained that he had decided after having “ seen the news ». « I told myself that he finally made himself known. I saw that it was a girl, that it must have been hard for her. I don’t know her at all. I have no personal interest in testifying today; she can cause me problems. But I told myself that if she had been younger when I met Ary Abittan, the same thing would have happened to me. I wanted this young woman to know that she was not the only one who had suffered from Ary Abittan’s behavior (…) I think she does not realize the damage she can do ».
