Abnousse Shalmani (born April 1, 1977) is a French journalist, writer and director. [1] [2]
In 2018, Shalmani was one of the authors along with Sarah Chiche, Catherine Millet, Peggy Sastre and Catherine Robbe-Grillet of the open letter criticizing MeToo movement sent to the leading French newspaper, Le Monde , signed by over 100 high-profile French women. The letter advocated in part that a "freedom to bother" – a man's right to make a pass at a woman, even if a clumsy one – was "indispensable to sexual freedom". [3]
