“I ring his doorbell. The director, who already has several films to his credit, welcomes me with a smile, invites me to come in and sit down,” she wrote, according to BFMTV. “After a brief discussion about the script, he gets up and moves closer to me on the couch. » He then puts “his hand on my knee, then suddenly throws himself on me, kissing me violently”, she continues.
