Lila Salet Files Complaint Accusing Chef Jean Imbert of Domestic Violence and Sequestration

The complaint focuses on alleged events from 2012–2013 under statutes that may limit prosecution.

Le chef cuisinier Jean Imbert le 9 juin 2023 à Paris.

Overview

  • Lila Salet, 33, filed the complaint on Saturday, with Elle and Le Parisien reporting they consulted the document.
  • The filing alleges a relationship marked by constant psychological pressure and physical assaults dating to 2012–2013, including slaps and a door smashed during a 2013 incident.
  • Salet previously filed a complaint at the time and later withdrew it, saying she did so to avoid harming Imbert’s career.
  • Under French law, domestic violence is generally subject to a six-year limitation period, while sequestration can be prosecuted for up to twenty years, and authorities can open inquiries to identify possible recent victims.
  • Imbert, who was first accused by four former partners in reports published in April, denies any physical or psychological violence, as another ex, Alexandra Rosenfeld, publicly identified herself this week as an accuser.
