Gisèle Pelicot’s daughter claims she and her mother no longer speak
- Caroline Darian, the daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, believes her mother denies Ms Darian's potential abuse by her father, Dominique Pelicot, as a form of self-protection. The pair no longer speak.
- Ms Darian claims her mother is unable to acknowledge that she was likely drugged by her father due to the taboo nature of incest in France.

- Ms Darian claims she was also a victim of chemical submission by her father after discovering pictures of herself unconscious and partially undressed, but lacks concrete evidence of sexual abuse.
- Ms Darian has written a book about her experiences and founded the campaign “Don't Put Me Under: Stop Chemical Submission”.
