The wife of the cult director Roman Polanski, French actress Emmanuel Seigne, refused an invitation to join the American Film Academy for the expulsion of her husband from her ranks.

Recently, the film's star Pianist received an invitation from the US Film Academy, which awards Oscar, to join its membership, but Senie refused and supported her husband.

Her statement 52-year-old actress unveiled in an open letter, which published the French edition of Le Journal du Dimanche.

"The Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences invited me, along with other actresses, to join her in the interests of the urgently needed feminism. How can someone question my concern about the issue of equality between men and women? I've always been a feminist. But how can I ignore the fact that a few weeks ago the academy kicked out my husband Roman Polanski. That same academy, which in 2002 handed him the "Oscar" for the film "The Pianist". Amazing amnesia, "- said in a letter to Sein.

Emmanuel also noted that she is proud and loves her legendary husband.

"The academy probably thinks that I am weak-willed and vain, to forget that for 29 years I have been married to one of the biggest filmmakers. I love him, he is my husband and the father of my children. He was made a pariah. And these academicians think that I have to follow the path of glory right behind him. What an intolerable hypocrisy, "- indignant woman.

Szene also attacked the women, who, on the wave of the topic of homemaking, decided to accuse her husband.

Recall that in the autumn of last year Roman Polanski was accused of seducing a ten-year-old girl, but even this fact did not embarrass his wife. Unlike Senj, the wife of another scandalous director Harvey Weinstein, who at first did not even suspect about his sexual harassment, after she learned about the filthy antics of her husband immediately left him and shared all the property.
