Pelicot’s former husband, Dominique Pelicot, crushed sleeping tablets and anti-anxiety medication into her food and drink and invited men to rape her over a nine-year period from 2011-20 in the village of Mazan, in Provence. Gisèle Pelicot told the court in Avignon: ‘It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s will and determination to change society’

👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜
Did she know that man? Anyone know what they were saying ? I suddenly felt very protective over her. Surely she shouldn’t have people coming up to her. Maybe she doesn’t mind, but I noticed her hand go up at first that looked like a bit of protection * update . I just saw a news article that says it was a former teacher of hers
This is just one of the most insane cases I've ever heard of
Media keeps focusing on her, when they all should be following and videotaping the rapists.
Goosebumps, major
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i wonder how many of the men have been set up?
We all know the reason why the Guardian isn't showing the husband. I knew they wouldn't as soon as I saw the artists impression of him on the Sky News website. You can run but you can't hide.
I don't know how she managed to get through this. She must be the strongest person.
What an amazing woman
this has to be the shittiest thing ever to have happened to a ''wife'' of western society in recent times .
May she live the the rest of her life with no needs and total peace with the keys to the world to do as she wishes.
So delighted to see this beautiful and very brave lady looking happy and well.
Without truth what do we have ! The truth shall set you free . What a wonderful woman exposing the truth ! These men , sorry apology for men , ought to be ashamed of themselves .
Bless this brave lady ❣️❣️❣️
😭😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Very courageous lady with a monster for a husband
Bravo. ❤
What are they saying?
Men: they suddenly disappear from the comments section… 😁
❤
You go girl ❤
I didnt expect to find that so emotional. Such a strong and dignified woman.
Bravo madame, vous rendez toutes les femmes fières, de vôtre courage,vôtre résilience❤. Une belle vie vous attend et tant pis pour ces déchets qui vous ont abusés. La vie s'occupera d'eux.
Work 20 hr days is proof
Huge admiration for a woman seeking to expose the darkness of human affairs….we the cowards who look the other way and deny and self delude and gas light and suppress….for it is we, for to truly be a rational species, we must take ownership of our evil….🤔
🫶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Trebian madam la manific. Veivla justice.
