French MeToo movement founder loses defamation suit, forced to pay media executive she accused of misconduct
Sandra Muller, the French journalist credited with starting the French version of the #MeToo feminist movement to expose sexual harassment, has been found guilty of defaming a television executive she accused of making lewd and sexist advances toward her.
Brion, a media consultant and former executive at the public broadcaster France Télévision, had asked for 60,000 euros in the original suit. Muller, who is currently based in New York, plans to appeal the decision and called it a"backwards step." Soon after the publication of the article, Brion filed a defamation suit against Muller. He claimed that the tweets were ambiguous and portrayed him as a sex offender.When the court case opened in May this year, Brion's lawyers defended his"right to flirt," while Muller's lawyer Francis Spinzer questioned Brion's motives.
