She can do whatever the hell she likes OP - she's a grown woman and you have no right to police her behaviour with your faux concern. She's not you, you have zero idea what it is like to be her. Thank your lucky stars you are not her and get on with whatever your life is without everyone judging your every move.

TellySavalashairbrush · 19/04/2025 21:38

She deserves nothing but happiness. I’d never want to be near another man again if I’d been through all that she has, but everyone reacts differently.

Paris match are not known for respecting privacy

its pretty disgusting they disclosed her location

MrsKeats · 19/04/2025 21:41

Good for her. I hope she can find some peace and happiness.

Yep, it’s a safety concern, a lot of tates fans are very angry that men have been punished, so I would be very concerned about some idiot hoping to seek revenge.

PaintYourAssLikeRembrandt · 19/04/2025 21:43

Good for her.

She had all of her choice taken from her by dozens of sick perverts.

Now she's making her own choices and controlling her own narrative before the seedy press get hold of it and twist things, as they often do.

I wish her only good things for her forever.

I'd just like to live a quiet life. Not sell my story for an HBO documentary. I'd be too exhausted. I also don't know whether I'd be ready to have any man in my life ever again. Is she being exploited again?

She is not you and there she does what she wants. The woman is phenomenally brave and is entitled to anything she wants - why should she live a quiet life - she did nothing wrong.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 19/04/2025 21:43

Good woman. All we can do is wish her well in whatever she wishes to do for the rest of her life away from her horrendous ex-husband.

Rainbowqueeen · 19/04/2025 21:44

She is an amazing woman and I have absolute faith in her ability to make good decisions for herself based on her knowledge of herself and her experiences.

The only thing I’d love someone else to do for her is to nominate her for the Nobel peace prize.

She has a very supportive family, I am pretty sure that they would have seen him off in an instant if they felt she was being exploited, ditto the TV people.

I wish her every happiness, she has had the worst few years anyone can imagine since the whole awful story emerged, she came through the trial with her head held high, a true heroine of our time.

How can any of us know what we’d like in that position.

Really? Can you imagine the money and opportunities she’s been offered? I certainly would be considering them hard. This is the only opportunity she’ll have to make money at her age. Her whole family has been deeply Impacted by this and that includes financially

DenholmElliot11 · 19/04/2025 21:48

Good

I hope she's paid well for it so that she can have a lovely retirement and leave a few quid to her kids and grandkids who have also suffered don't forget.

Her legal team must have cost her a fortune anyway.

Paris Match reports:

I don't know what to think here.

I think the poor woman needs to be left alone with total privacy

Why the fuck does it matter what you think?

Surely it was the French equivalent of the crown prosecution service who prosecuted him? It was a criminal case, why would the victim pay for a legal team?

CalicoPusscat · 19/04/2025 21:20

What do you mean? That sounds like you're criticising her. She's entitled to tell her story.

The poster was being sardonic.

Gisele can do whatever she wants and needs to rebuild her life. She's incredible and I truly hope she finds peace and happiness.

Unless we've experienced the horror she lived, how we think we'd react is just speculation. I sincerely hope no other woman goes through such a horrific experience.

LuxuryWoman2020 · 19/04/2025 21:53

Sorry, I quoted the wrong poster

menopausalfart · 19/04/2025 21:57

Everyone deals with abuse in their own way. Hope she makes a bit of money and that she's found happiness.

Has the same thing happened to you? If not you have absolutely no idea how you’d feel and what you’d do.

Gisele Pelicot can and should do whatever the fuck she wants. You say you don't know what to think about what she's doing, but you know exactly how much you're judging her @Redheadedstepchild.

And you have no idea what you would do if you discovered your husband drugged you and invited strangers in to rape you for years.Hmm

ByLoyalLilacBeaker · 19/04/2025 22:12

As a mother/grandmother it must be horrible to know that when your grandchildren see your name online or anytime they look you up they'll be faced with horrific stories by their own father/grandfather about you. It must be a small relief to think she's shown everyone how to be brave but also to show an alternative ending to the usual expected aftermath of being a sa victim.

Well that’s you isn’t it, not her. I don’t think that she’s being exploited at all; she’s being loud and proud about her survival and good for her. You don’t know the first thing about her new relationship and I’ve read that she’s got good support from her adult children. Give the woman a break!

But that you.

She comes across as a very strong woman who is determined that sexual abuse is not something to hide from or accept. She wants the world to know what her advisers did and hopes that it encourages other women not to be afraid of coming forward.

If she's happy to find a man again, good for her.

As for exploitation, she has been exploited more than anyone should have to tolerate. I suspect she's finally happy to have freedom of choice and would be very aware of any potential risk of exploitation and is able to deal with it accordingly.

She is finally living life by her rules and her choices.
