Lucie Bernardoni Denies Child-Maltreatment Charge as September Trial Set

The TV singer now faces a Nanterre trial following custody then release under judicial supervision.

Overview

  • In interviews published Thursday and Friday, Bernardoni said she never abused her 16-year-old and described her ex-partner's claims as lies and psychological pressure.
  • She spent about 30 hours in police custody in Neuilly-sur-Seine before release under court oversight, with a Nanterre hearing set for September 29 on "violences volontaires par ascendant," a French charge for intentional violence by a parent or elder relative.
  • The complaint was filed by her former partner, musician Pedro Alves, while their daughter posted that telling the truth felt like a release, and 20 Minutes reported that the teen also filed a complaint.
  • The case has reached her TV work as she missed the last Danse avec les Stars live show, and Le Parisien reported she spoke out ahead of a planned return on Friday night.
  • Reporting points to a years-long parental conflict, with Bernardoni disputing claims about past custody and money and saying court decisions changed where her daughter lived over time.
