In her book titled, "And I Stopped Calling You Papa", Darian speaks about how her father abused her mother Gisele and destroyed her physical and mental health.
Darian, the brave daughter, has talked about her father "dressed Maman like a low-rent prostitute". She then goes on to give some shocking details about how his father stopped some men from wearing a condom and also allowed a man who tested positive forHIV to rape her mother.
Daughter accuses the man of committing crimes just for 'pleasure'
In the book, Darian has written about one incident when her brother visited their parents for a meal and saw his mother almost falling asleep at the dinner table.
"Only a few minutes after sitting down, Maman was swaying in her chair as though she was drunk. Suddenly her whole body was drained of energy, like a rag doll," Darian quoted her brother as saying.
When the wife complained that she was facing gynaecological issues and contracted a sexually transmitted disease, Pelicot accused her of having an affair, the daughter wrote in the book.
Darian said that when Gisele raised her need to get treatment for the unexplained illness, her father asked, "So, what are you doing with your days?"

The daughter said that of the 72 men her father invited to rape her mother, never once did he demand any money or try to gain some profit from the horrific crime.
"Ultimate perversity... Father, who always had money problems, didn't profit from Maman. He did it purely for his pleasure," said Darian, in her book.
