Priestly would
say “That’s all” and you would freeze
in utter panic...
The
good news is that someone entered some of my posts into some sort reward /
competition and I got selected for a prize / reward in journalism.
I
can’t be bothered too much but it’s nice.
I
set up this blog to write only about art and culture and I ended up writing
about things that were not meant to be here.
Too
many years of being copied or strongly imitated by Les Inrocks and possibly by others publication...
Eventually,
when newspaper Le Monde via Florian Reynaud used my post on Grenfell Tower... that did it to me! Following
my text on silence as a mean of sexism, Reynaud was mocking “innocently” my sexual
harassment!
I
got so sick, I looked for a razor blade and became so depressed for not finding
one... when I sat on my sofa, I had received an email by Samuel B who comforted me: Luc
Bronner was going to give me an explanation... He never did! Jérome Fenoglio never did either...
This
is the price to pay when women get
sexually harassed and fuss about it some 25 years
on!
Emmanuel Tellier is a criminal and so is everyone treating
him like a poor victim or saying I’m inventing stories, talking rubbish!
There
is a huge amount of people in Le Monde
following him on Twitter... a lot more than in Les Inrocks / Telerama altogether
where he worked / works.
I
took a day off (not that I can afford it) and decided while I was away that I
should set up another blog to have peace. I did but I still find it disgraceful
that I have to re-organise my life in the same way I left France in 1992
(despite being offered jobs at Nova
& Les Cahiers du Cinema) mainly
because I didn’t want to come across that abusive manipulator!
As
long as Les Inrocks don’t admit the ordeal they allowed me to suffer within
their premises, my life is going to be hell. I feel dirty!
As
such I have also decided, calmly, that there is no point sitting here
contemplating people stealing my prose or my ideas;
There
is no point in being alive to pay my winter bills while I’ll see from time to
time my style in Les Inrocks or Le Monde, or anywhere else;
There
is no point in being alive to work in some venture I have no interest just
because eventually I’ll have to be a sales assistant or a cleaner as it has
been suggested;
There
is simply no point in struggling!
Nothing
sad now, just fact: 25 years of ongoing harassment; last four years of being
stalked online/social network at least! For you, I’m paranoid, crazy and defamatory.
OK, you win!
Good
job Le Monde, Les Inrocks and whoever for disrespecting people’s work... and
past!
Good
job Liz Parkinson @ BFI and any PR for discriminating!
