There are a couple of other lengthy threads about Gisele Pelicot, which go a long way to explaining her situation. It is really almost unimaginable for any of us to fully comprehend what she went through, but her courage and dignity have been astounding. She is so right - shame must change sides.

I suppose an actress can also have a story!

You'll be even more baffled by the Lily Fisher story.

Which Lily Fisher?
I have missed this I think.
I thought she was an actress...

Gisele Pelicot saw a lot of medical specialists to try and find out why she was so tired and felt unwell, as well as having gynaecological problems. DH went with her pretending to be baffled and concerned. Doctors did not look for the unimaginable abuse she was suffering from, as who would have imagined that.

Thanks Elusivebutterfly for explaining, I hadn’t read that. Poor woman and so very brave to publicise all that she went through.

Why on earth would she suspect that her husband of many years would be drugging her?

Victim blaming is never a good look

Did she really have no idea that she was being drugged? Surely she had some suspicions?
Strong barbiturates have side effects don’t they?
