Alexandra Rosenfeld Details Control and Violence Allegations Against Chef Jean Imbert in First TV Interview

Her testimony follows an ELLE investigation, with a prosecutors' inquiry in Versailles now under way.

Overview

  • Speaking on Quotidien, Rosenfeld described what she called insidious psychological control marked by daily insults and social disparagement.
  • She reiterated that Imbert broke her nose, saying the incident occurred in front of witnesses, while he maintains it was an accidental gesture during a dispute.
  • Rosenfeld recounted stalking-like behavior during breakups, including waiting in her parking lot, appearing at her home and outside her daughter's school, and calling her mother in tears.
  • She said additional women have contacted her since her initial disclosures, including some alleging acts that may not be time‑barred under French law.
  • A complaint by actor Lila Salet has already prompted an inquiry by Versailles prosecutors; Imbert denies the accusations, has stepped back from his restaurants, and his lawyers call the accounts biased and truncated.
