As she should.
The Césars — which is basically the French Oscars — just gave its awards for Best Director and Best Adapted screenplay to filmmaker Roman Polanski, who is guilty of having sexually abused a 13-year-old. Andactress walked out when Polanski was announced as a winner. As she was leaving, she screamed,"Shame!" It was clear that it wasn't only she who felt that honoring an abuser was inappropriate. Others followed her out of the Salle Pleyel in Paris.
earlier this year, Haenel revealed that she was sexually abused at a young age by a director. And so the Cèsars honoring Polanski seems to be quite a personal attack.Comedian Florence Foresti, who was hosting the awards show, also took a lot of jabs at Polanski. She also made sure to tell the audience not to applaud Polanski or his filmwhen it was mentioned for its nominations.
