The director, currently in Cannes to defend her film “Jeanne du Barry”, evokes the aggression of Edwy Plenel which she recognized.
Maïwenn will not make a mea culpa. The one who admitted having attacked the journalist Edwy Plenel in February in a restaurant, added Wednesday evening on the set of C to you that she did not “regret” her gesture.
Invited as part of the promotion of Jeanne du Barryher new film broadcast Tuesday evening at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, Maïwenn had to answer a question on this affair:
“You still don’t want to explain this gesture?” Asked Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine. “I want to talk regarding ‘Jeanne du Barry'”, replied the person concerned.
“Do you regret this gesture?” Insisted the journalist. Visibly annoyed, Maïwenn then replied: “Did you ask him the question, does he regret it? (…) Ask him (…) I prefer not to talk regarding it. I do not regret.”
Brief altercation in a restaurant
Maïwenn is the subject of a complaint from Edwy Plenel. The director of Mediapart there relates that on February 22, while he was dining in a restaurant in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, a woman grabbed his head by the hair, pulled it back and mimed spitting.
According to her account, she then left very quickly, without any particular exchange of words. The restaurant staff said they recognized Maïwenn. The latter recognized this aggression last week on the set of Dailywithout explaining why.
Red carpet controversy
Maïwenn is also at the heart of a Cannes controversy: her film features Johnny Depp in the skin of King Louis XV and marks the actor’s return to the big screen following accusations of domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard, as well as the highly publicized defamation lawsuit that pitted them once morest each other last year.
“When I approached Johnny, it was before his trials,” she said on the set of ‘C to You’. “I love the actor. When there were the trials, I did not see myself taking the role away from him (…) If my answer does not please, too bad.”
