73-year-old Frenchwoman to tell the world about her convicted pervert husband 0 99

In the United States, a series is being prepared based on the story of Gisèle Pelico, who gained notoriety due to the "Mazans rapes" case, of which she was a victim.

American producers are already hard at work on the series and are casting for the lead actress.

The case of the "Mazans rapes" shocked France and caused a wide resonance beyond its borders. At the end of 2024, during an unprecedented trial in the Avignon jury court, Gisèle Pelico agreed to make the case public, despite its scale.

In front of the whole world, 51 defendants were found guilty of rapes committed against the victim, who had been subjected to chemical influence. Her ex-husband, Dominique Pelico, was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

By refusing anonymity, Gisèle Pelico hoped that "the shame would fall on the shoulders of the perpetrators." Her testimony made international headlines, and she even made it to Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people.

Gisèle Pelico has not been idle. She recently released a book titled "And the Joy of Life" ("Et la joie de vivre"), in which she recounts the violence she experienced, the investigation, and the trial. Her story has already become a bestseller in France, and translations are being requested in at least 22 countries.

After the book's release, it became known that Pelico's story would be adapted into a series. Producers want to see Gisèle Pelico portrayed by none other than Meryl Streep!

Gisèle Pelico is actively traveling, meeting with the powerful of the world. After meeting Queen Camilla in the UK, she plans to head to the United States, where she is likely to meet Meryl Streep.
