Guest of the show Quelle epoch! on Saturday January 20, Pauline Desmonts defended her companion Nicolas Bedos, accused of sexual assault and harassment. And if the young woman does not deny the alleged facts, she strives to contextualize them: “We are talking about a problem of excess, of partying, of alcohol, in a truly festive setting,” she explains. .
However, she recognizes the excesses into which the son of the comedian Guy Bedos has sometimes fallen: “Yes, he can be odious, he can be excessive, provocative, whatever we want, but it is not a sexual attacker,” insists Pauline Desmonts.
To the host Léa Salamé, who asks him if Nicolas Bedos regrets what he did, his partner replies that “if he regrets one thing, it is having continued to go out like a teenager which he does not is more. This case has accelerated this awareness, and it is a problem that he is treating.”
As a reminder, Nicolas Bedos will be tried next September for acts of sexual assault committed in May 2023, and for a sexual harassment case which allegedly took place in June 2018.
