anorexia, weak sentence, outcast in her own family… she says it all

Héloïse Martin has been seducing the general public for several years with her pretty smile, her beautiful clear eyes and her roles on the small and big screen. However, the film actress Tamara had a particularly violent childhood. Her uncle sexually assaulted her when she was 9, on Christmas Eve. And he did it again for a year and a half. The little girl went through a real ordeal. She managed to file a complaint and the attacker was sentenced when she was 16: 18 months suspended prison sentence, a 3,000 euro fine and a ban on approaching the victim until she reached the age of majority (which he did not comply).

A court sentence that is far too weak for the actress, given the seriousness of the facts. And, above all, she found herself an outcast within her own family.

Héloïse Martin is disgusted: “He’s the victim”

Héloïse Martin, guest of Faustine Bollaert in her France 2 show, It starts today, explained that his uncle confessed to his crime. “I thank Héloïse for freeing me from my suffering. He is the victim. (…) He always turns the thing around to the fact that he too suffered a lot from all that“. If her confessions did any good to the one who participated in Dance with the stars in 2018, the very light sentence was not enough in his eyes. “For me, it’s not a condemnation. (…) He did not go to prison. He kept the same life as before, the same job, he had a little girl again. I have a cousin that I barely know. Well, in fact, he won everything“.

And the actress added: “A few months after revealing to my parents what I was going through, I sank into anorexia for several years. I went to the hospital every week, I weighed 35 kilos (…) But afterwards, it was the opposite. I ate again and then I ate too much. And I have lots of gynecological problems. I think everything is linked, it caused a lot of bodily, physical damage.”

Héloïse Martin forced to exclude herself from her family to protect herself

Héloïse Martin recounts how members of her family took the side of her uncle, the aggressor. “When I ask my family to choose between him and me and they tell me either we don’t choose, or ‘well it’s him because he still paid for a boiler for me last month, ah well he help us with the move’ (…) It’s unbearable!”

Faced with this attitude, little Rose’s mother was forced to make an incredible decision. “So, it was me who excluded myself from my family to protect myself.“Because, despite the ban on approaching the victim,”he came every Christmas, he came to my village, for birthdays. (…) He was there all the time“We can’t imagine what a double whammy this must have been for her.
