Overview

• Godrèche said on Instagram that she was placed under formal investigation following filmmaker Jacques Doillon’s defamation complaint.
• The complaint targets a February 21, 2024 Instagram comment in which she reacted to an article about Doillon; his lawyer condemned her wording as alleging he “slept with children.”
• French outlets note that in defamation matters the formal investigation status is typically automatic unless a procedural error blocks it.
• Godrèche contrasted the swift action on Doillon’s complaint with the time-bar obstacles her own sexual-violence accusations face, questioning the message this sends to victims.
• Earlier proceedings included police questioning of Doillon and Benoît Jacquot in July 2024; Doillon was later designated témoin assisté while Jacquot was placed under judicial control and charged with rapes.
