An altercation allegedly took place on July 3, 2021, near the Rond-Point theater in Paris. She accuses her ex of throwing a phone in her face after he found out she had feelings for another man (“nothing happened physically,” she says). “At that point, the police said to me: ‘Madam, you have to file a complaint, because afterwards, it’s feminicide.’ At the time, she couldn’t bring herself to “file a complaint against the father of [sa] daughter.
