40-year-old Australian actress Melissa George, who is known for her roles in the series "Anatomy of Passion" and "Spy", decided to openly interview. In it, Melissa touched on the topic of domestic violence, to which she was subjected for 5 years while living with a French businessman and director Jean-David Blanc.
Interview in the TV program Sunday Night
Six months ago, George entered the Australian clinic with numerous abrasions on the face, head and body. From the words of the actress it became clear that all of these injuries were caused by her husband Blanc. After this incident was referred to the judicial authority for the proceedings, it was decided that Melissa was not a victim. The court ruled: the actress was not subjected to domestic violence, but, on the contrary, attacked her husband. For defense purposes, Blanc defended himself, thereby inflicting physical injury on Melissa.
This version of the trial was voiced by the press and became the final version. But George did not tolerate such a decision and dared to tell her truth on the Australian show Sunday Night. That's what Melissa said:
"I tried in every possible way to defend myself, after Jean attacked me. However, when he saw that I was resisting, I became furious in my eyes. At first he pushed me, and with such force that I cut my forehead with the door, and then hit me in the face. The rest I remember vaguely, but I remember that I was lying on the floor on the floor without strength with blood on my face and hands. Blank came up to me and said: "Well, now you're a real actress?".
After that, Melissa remembers the most terrible escape from home in her life:
"I realized the horror after the husband grabbed me and began to beat his head on the iron hanger. Then I tried to reach the phone and call the police, but he broke the phone. I do not remember how long this whole nightmare lasted, but I managed to get out of the house. I caught a taxi in the street and came to the police. I was immediately given medical help and took testimony. After that, you all know: there was a trial with an unfair decision. "
On the interviewer's question about why Melissa decided to tell all this, the actress replied:
"I really want to return to Australia. This is my homeland. I want my children to know their roots and grow on their native land. "

Jean-David Blanc denies his guilt
Meanwhile, the French businessman Blanc decided to express his version of the tragedy in an interview with The Daily Mail. The filmmaker said these words:
"I did not beat Melissa. She was the first to attack me. This is an absolutely unbalanced person who does not control himself. I'm speaking now and talking at the trial that George needs to be treated. I'm not guilty of anything in front of her. By the way, you probably read the judgment and you know that it was Melissa who was found guilty of our family drama. "
Recall, now the couple are in the midst of the struggle for children. The issue of custody over the three-year-old Raphael and the one-year-old Solal is being resolved in court. While the children live together with their mother, but if Blanc manages to prove that Melissa is not completely healthy mentally, then the children can be taken away and placed under the care of the French director.
