During an interview granted to Elle for the release of the film Stepdaughter, Alexandra Lamy returned to the unfriendly comments she received for her support for Adèle Haenel after the Cesar ceremony.
On the occasion of the release of the film Belle-fille, Elle magazine is devoting its cover to Alexandra Lamy. The 48-year-old actress plays Miou-Miou and Jonathan Zaccaï in this comedy directed by Méliane Marcaggi. During her interview with the women’s magazine, Alexandra Lamy was not content to promote the film. She also spoke of the criticism of which she was the target after the tumultuous evening of Caesar 2020.
As a reminder, this ceremony was marked by the stormy reactions aroused by the award of the César for best director to Roman Polanski, convicted of rape of a minor by the American courts in 1977 and considered by Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization ) as a fugitive. In 2019, Valentine Monnier, a French photographer, accused him of similar facts. New allegations refuted by the director.
When the Caesar was awarded to her despite her absence, the actress Adèle Haenel had left the Salle Pleyel proclaiming “It’s shame !”. Quite a symbol for the actress who had just accused the director Christophe Ruggia of “sexual touching”. Alexandra Lamy had shown her support for Adèle Haenel by commenting on Instagram on a photo where she was seen leaving the ceremony: “With all my support !!!”
Former wife of Jean Dujardin, who plays the leading role in Polanski’s latest film, Alexandra Lamy had to face the incomprehension of very upset Internet users: “I took torrents of insults and stupid innuendos about my ex, she confides. People saw it as jealousy or resentment. I didn’t even put #Polanski! All of this is absurd. Anyway, we can not say anything more, she estimated. When you post for example: “It’s horrible what is happening in Afghanistan”, you receive: “And Syria is not horrible, and you don’t give a fuck, then?” Whatever you say, you get fucked hard. “
