Bridgerton Actress Genevieve Chenneour Says She Was Struck Near Oxford Circus Minutes Before Audition

Her account follows a February phone-theft case that ended in a 22-month sentence, leaving her with lasting anxiety.

Overview

  • Chenneour posted an emotional Instagram video on November 20 describing an unprovoked hit in central London that left her shaken.
  • She said audition staff provided a private room after she suffered panic attacks while trying to prepare for her reading.
  • In her post, she described the man as about 50, 6ft 3in, Black, wearing a dark-colored hat and black clothes.
  • The earlier Kensington incident led to a 22-month jail term for Zacariah Boulares after guilty pleas to common assault and multiple thefts.
  • She has since moved out of London due to concussion-related trauma and severe agoraphobia, and outlets reported no police confirmation or arrest in the new case.
