“The word is the spark that allows things to move later. It is these figures that affect incestuous families. I notice this when I do concerts with Les Vaginites [son groupe de musique, ndlr]. The audience is asked who was directly or indirectly affected here. We observe a forest of weapons that rises. It affects everyone directly or indirectly. “

Corinne Masiero says she was a victim of incest on France Inter

The now 58-year-old actress says she suffered incest from an 18-year-old cousin when she was 8 :

“When you face it, what do you represent next? We are nothing. We are an object, a piece of meat […]. And we keep it for life, we take care of it, we don’t recover. How to cut your leg and then learn to walk, but with one leg missing. […]

It is under the cover of love that you are attacked. ‘I like you, I like you, so watch us caress each other.’ This word ‘love’, I hate it. It no longer means “love”. “
