Overview

• Gisèle Pelicot's legal team announced a lawsuit against Paris Match for publishing seven unauthorized photographs of her private life, including images of her with a man identified as her new companion.
• Her attorney, Me Antoine Camus, criticized the publication for disregarding the core message of her public trial, which emphasized the importance of consent and victim agency.
• The photos were described as a betrayal of Pelicot's fight against non-consensual exploitation, drawing parallels to the years of abuse she endured and exposed during her landmark trial in late 2024.
• Paris Match also claimed Pelicot had signed a contract with HBO for a film adaptation of her story, a statement her legal team has refuted as false.
• Pelicot, recently named one of Time's 100 most influential people of 2025, is focusing on her upcoming memoir while continuing to assert control over her narrative and privacy.
