“Faye arrived at the indicated time. She picked me up on Sunday morning and two hours later we did the interview,” confesses Katerina Lehou.

Katerina Lechou in Down Town and journalist Venia Karagianni made a deep confession. Among other things, the charming female lead spoke about the decisive statements she made about her colleague’s abusive behavior, putting a special signature on the #MeToo movement.

“I was shocked when I saw Sofia Bekatorou’s statements” admits Katerina Lehou to honestly add that “when I discussed the issue with Zeta Douka, shortly before she came out to speak in public, I was scared at first because I thought what feedback all this can bring ».

What did you say to him before he made the pertinent statements?

The first question I asked him was “why are you doing it after so many years?” and he answered me because “in my heart there is a great weight, I want to take it off and I feel that something good is going to come out.” When he finally did, I remember they called me to talk and I was very hesitant, I didn’t want to comment. I was scared. For a week I was thinking about it, I was in absolute silence and contemplation. And suddenly I felt that something is happening that has a chain shape and I have to be a link for that person. This is how this chain started, you don’t know where it will go, it’s a change of era.

And then you gave an interview to Faye Skorda.

Faye appeared at the right time. He picked me up on Sunday morning and two hours later we did the interview. I remember that in addition to the feeling of fear that I had when I told the story, I suddenly felt the same drowning. But now I have done my own way, the things that I have to do for myself and I am not angry.

With whom did you discuss it before making these disclosures?

With Hands (ss your partner). He was also present at the interview. He told me to do what seemed best to me. No one can advise you on this, it is completely personal. But someone can stand up to you and not oppose you.

Did you know about the other stories?

He had heard repeated rumors. This is not a test, it will be, but it is indicative.

Who did you work with from these people?

With Dimitris Lignadis, with whom we had a nice collaboration in Trojans where he also directed the actors. It was a great sadness for me. How can a person not overcome his evil self, his passions and overcome evil? All of this, sadly, is deeply unhealthy.

Do you think things will get better now?

I have been through a lot of melancholy with everything that has happened. It is painful for everyone, as is the whole process, but it is part of the deal. For something better to happen, you have to go through the pain process.

What comments did your own people make to you?

Some agreed, some did not mention it at all, and some asked me why “after so many years?”

What is the answer to the latter?

Scientists have answered this before us. When you experience something traumatic, the brain is pushed to survive, but it exists and determines your behaviors. At some point it will surface and you will have to manage it. The more abusive the behavior, the longer it may take or it may be erased from your memory as a whole.
