Overview

• Hubert Guérin, a longtime collaborator of Geneviève de Fontenay, published "Miss France, du rêve à la réalité" compiling accounts from about 60 former contestants.
• Anonymous testimonies describe rapes, forced oral sex, groping and harassment occurring during or soon after pageants in the 1990–2002 period.
• Guérin contends roughly 10% of contestants were affected and asserts some alleged perpetrators are within the organization today, a claim not independently verified in the coverage.
• Société Miss France responded with a communiqué rejecting liability on the grounds that the ownership during the alleged period was different.
• Reporting references a 2023 court ruling condemning the production and TF1 for broadcasting images of two former contestants undressed, and no new criminal investigations are noted.
