Judith Godrèche to address France’s silence around #MeToo at César awards

Actor, who has accused two directors of raping her as a teenager, aims to break omerta' surrounding abuse in film industry

Judith Godreche, an actor who has accused two high-profile directors of raping her as a teenager, will address France's most prestigious film awards ceremony on Friday in an unusual move aimed at breaking what she calls the omerta" surrounding the abuse of women and girls in the industry.

Godreche, whose autobiographical hit TV show about the grooming of a 14-year-old girl has sparked a national debate, will take to the stage at the Cesar awards, the French equivalent of the Oscars, which is broadcast live on television.
