The alleged domestic abuse occurred on June 3 near the Theatre du Rond-Point in Paris. The next day, Chemla filed a police complaint and canceled her trip to Cannes where she was expected to present “Mes freres et moi,” a film directed by Manca in which she had a role.
Following the complaint, an investigation was launched and Manca was jailed for about 10 days and was banned from visiting the 10th district of Paris where Chemla resides, as well as forbidden from approaching her, according to two sources.
After a second complaint filed by Chemla, Manca was given an eight-month suspended prison sentence for domestic violence against Chemla.
