Gisele Pelicot, a French feminist icon that survived almost a decade of rape for men’s boxes, will sue Paris Match magazine for the invasion of privacy, their lawyers said Thursday.
In his latest edition, Paris Match published Picot photos accompanied by a man described as his partner walking through the streets in his new hometown.
Pelicot obtained international acclamation for giving up his right to anonymity in the trial last year of his ex -husband and another dependent.
“It is not we who should feel shame, but them,” he said about the perpetrators.
Dominique Pélicot, her now ex -husband, drugged her for almost a decade so that he and the strangers of strangers he recruited online could violate her.
A French court in December sentenced to 20 years in prison.
“Every time the intimacy of our client’s personal life is violated, we will react and seek a judicial decision,” said lawyer Antoine Camus at AFP on Thursday.
Camus said it was “shocking” and “disappointing” that Paris Match would secretly take Picot photos “whose order was the theme of 3,000 photos and videos.”

He accused the magazine or “not having learned anything from the trial of four men.”
Contacted by AFP, Paris Match did not comment.
Pelicot was included in the Time magazine list published on Wednesday of the most influential people in the world in 2025.
