Alexandra Rosenfeld Identifies Herself as ‘Éléonore’ in Abuse Allegations Against Chef Jean Imbert

Her Instagram post features a radiograph of a fractured nose as evidence of abuse.

Overview

  • Rosenfeld says a headbutt more than a decade ago fractured her nose, but describes sustained psychological control as the most damaging part of the relationship.
  • She published a medical report noting direct trauma and a nasal bone fracture to support her account.
  • She explains she chose to speak publicly to support other women who testified in Elle’s April investigation after initially declining to participate.
  • She recounts receiving a January invitation to Imbert’s Disney restaurant that she interpreted as an effort to keep her quiet.
  • Imbert’s team disputes her version, saying the nose incident happened as he freed himself while being grabbed, supporters cite attestations of mutual tensions, and no criminal complaint has been filed to date.
