Caroline Darian, Gisele Pelicot's Daughter, Is No Longer Speaking to Her Mother
Caroline Darian, daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, broke off all contact with her mother after the trial of her father Dominique Pelicot, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging, raping and having his wife raped by other men. During the trial, Caroline, who claims to have also been abused by her father, felt betrayed by her mother, who refused to believe her accusations despite the discovery of compromising photos of her on Dominique's computer. She blames Gisèle for abandoning her, for never trying to get her husband to confess and for silencing her when she expressed her pain. While Gisèle has become a media figure and a symbol of victimhood, Caroline says she feels like a ‘forgotten victim’. For her, her mother is not a heroine. Today, she only addresses her with distant pleasantries and believes that Gisèle failed in her role as a mother. -- File photo - Caroline Darian attending the Paris Book Fair (Festival du Livre de Paris) at the Grand Palais in Paris, France on April 12, 2025.
