In 2010, Christine Boisson explained why she had thrown herself out of a window

In 2010, Christine Boisson tried to throw herself out of a window. She later gave an interview to Gala where she stated that she had not actually wanted to end her life. According to her, her action stemmed from a desire to “blackmail her partner with suicide” at the time.

” I’m not very proud of my actions, but if I got to this point, it’s because my mother spent her time blackmailing me with suicide,” she confided, hammering home: “I never had the desire or the intention to die. Firstly because I have a daughter, and then I care too much for life (…) I just wanted to show him how much he hurt me.” Also in 2010, she accused her mother of having made her suffer incest. ” What do you call a mother who, to say hello, caressed my breasts, my buttocks and indulged in caresses, absent-mindedly, while watching TV? We rarely talk about incestuous mothers, but they do exist,” she said.
