Summary

Gisèle Pelicot, who bravely waived her right to anonymity during her ex-husband's rape trial and endured nearly a decade of abuse, will sue Paris Match magazine for invasion of privacy after it published unauthorized photos of her in its latest edition. Her lawyers argue that the magazine has disregarded her rights by secretly taking pictures of Pelicot, whose ordeal was extensively documented during the trial. Despite international acclaim and being named one of Time's most influential people in 2025, Pelicot continues to face violations of her privacy.
