A week following Cédric Doumbé denounced the domestic violence of which his ex-coach Fernand Lopez was the author on his ex-partner, Cécile Giornelli gave Brut on Friday the story of the violent attack of which she was the victim ago five years.
This is an expected speech. Saturday, during PFL Paris, Cédric Doumbé highlighted the aggression of his ex-coach at the MMA Factory Fernand Lopez on his former partner. “You know very well who took this knockout, it was not Jordan (Zebo his opponent), the new MMA star said. The one who took this knockout was the one who hit his ex-wife.”
Cécile Giornelli, Cédric Doumbé’s nutritionist, came out of silence for the first time on Monday, motivated by her ex-husband’s interview with Le Parisien: “One day I committed this gesture. The gesture that I regret the most in my entire life life. I raised my hand once morest my ex-partner, a slap in the face, it was catastrophic,” declared Fernand Lopez, sentenced to four months in prison five years ago. In response, Cécile Giornelli denounced, among other things, lies on social networks. This Friday, she spoke at length regarding the attacks of which she was the victim.
“I was just saying ‘no please stop, there’s our little one’
“Friday July 13, 2018, Fernand Lopez beat me up,” she said for Brut. There was a little family tension and for the first time in five years as a couple, I dared to say a bad word to him. And that his own woman tells him ‘fuck you’, he mightn’t take it. His slap, I’m going to mime it, it’s a cinder block. First touch, I’m knocked out. It’s our daughter’s cries that wake me up. J ‘is taking a lot of pain. Despite my years of practicing martial arts, my reflex is to freeze. I didn’t defend myself, I just said ‘no stop please, there’s our little one’ .”
Five years to rebuild
She says she was not afraid of dying. At least not that evening. “I was the victim of other acts of violence that Cédric (Doumbé) witnessed. I don’t have time to think regarding that. What is terrible for me, we say each time that it is the victim (she’s on the verge of tears, editor’s note.) I have a little girl who, for years, said ‘mommy goes to sleep, daddy frowns at mom’.
Cécile Giornelli says she is “ashamed” of having gotten back into a relationship following this terrible evening. “It took me a long time. It took me five years to rebuild myself.” And to explain the reason for speaking out: “To clear my name, my father’s name, she explains. My ex-partner speaks of a slap. There have been acts of violence reported to the police before July 13, 2018. When I read his interview… acts of violence, there were some before and following.”
The decisive role of Cédric Doumbé
The end of his story with Fernand Lopez ends in 2019. Still in chaos: “In February 2019, the father of my daughter told me that he was leaving me. He was going crazy. I felt his violence growing. A few months before , I get hit in the face. In my head, I tell myself ‘don’t say anything’. There was no attack other than pressing his forehead once morest mine. I’m afraid, he leaves the room. At 1 a.m., I’m afraid, I need a voice that reassures me. I go to the balcony to make a phone call. I’m on the phone with Cédric Doumbé, he tells me ‘leave the house’. I didn’t have time. My daughter’s father comes, he asks me who I’m talking to. I put my arm away, telling him to stop, Cédric hears everything and hears my cry because “he (Fernand Lopez) gives me an armlock and takes the phone from me. I run to the landline, he smashes it. There I was afraid for my life. Cédric calls his sister to get my address and he sends the cops in my house, that’s how he saves my life,” concludes Cécile Giornelli.
