Bridgerton Actress Says Second Street Assault Led Her to Leave London

In a Good Morning Britain interview, Genevieve Chenneour described a hit-and-keep-walking attack near Oxford Circus that she views as part of a wider pattern.

Overview

  • Chenneour says a man struck her minutes before an audition near Oxford Circus, leaving her shaken, and she later recounted the encounter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
  • She recalls screaming for attention as the man walked away, saying a nearby woman offered no help, and she phoned a friend while trying to recover on the pavement.
  • She characterizes the tactic as a growing trend meant to make women feel powerless, noting it can appear like accidental contact and complicate accountability.
  • The actress previously suffered a concussion during a February phone-theft struggle in a Kensington café, a case in which Zacariah Boulares pleaded guilty to theft and common assault and admitted other thefts.
  • She says the two incidents have changed her life, reporting panic attacks and anxiety in public spaces, and confirms she has left London.
