Overview
- Speaking on 26 November before the National Assembly’s women’s rights delegation in a session broadcast on LCP, Rosenfeld detailed a past relationship marked by coercive control.
- She alleged repeated psychological abuse and said Imbert fractured her nose with a headbutt, describing anger, intimidation, and humiliations over her background and appearance.
- Five women have publicly accused Imbert in press accounts, and two complaints have been filed, prompting an active domestic‑violence investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office.
- Through his lawyers, Imbert has denied the accusations and has stepped back from some professional activities linked to his restaurants.
- Rosenfeld highlighted the power imbalance she perceives given Imbert’s backing by prominent supporters and legal and communications teams, and she warned that coercive control is a precursor to femicide, with 153 cases counted in France in 2025 by Nous Toutes.
