They married when she was only 15 and she gave birth at 16.
"Léon: The Professional" was based on their relationship.
Besson left her three years later for Milla Jovovich during the filming of "The Fifth Element."
The original cut of "Léon" had scenes which portray 12 year-old Mathilda as highly sexual, attempting to seduce Léon.
These scenes were cut from the US release because they "tested very poorly" with American audiences, but were included in the 1996 European release.
When the film was first tested in LA, it incuded a scene where Mathilda asks Léon to be her lover. However, the audience became extremely uncomfortable and began to laugh nervously. The film received terrible test scores at the screening, and Besson cut it for theatrical release.
"Léon: The Professional" was Natalie Portman's motion picture debut. She was 11 when she was cast.
At 13 she received "rape fantasies" in the mail. A local radio station started a countdown to her 18th birthday, when she would be "legal".
Luc Besson was never "cancelled" for impregnating 15 year-old Maïwenn.
On December 9, multiple rape allegations against him were dismissed.
Dutch actress Sand Van Roy and eight other women said they had been assaulted or harassed by Besson over the years. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
France (like most of the world) has a long history of child marriage — legally binding young girls to adult men who rape them — but notably, this agenda has been openly pushed by intellectual elites for decades and continues to be an issue to this day.
French intellectual Foucault was discovered to be a serial child sexual abuser, a paedophile who raped Arab children while living in Tunisia in the late 1960s.
In 2017, when an 11 year-old girl was raped by a 28 year-old man, the case was not treated as rape.
Defense lawyers argued that she was "nearly 12 years old," and added: "We are not dealing with a sexual predator on a poor little faultless goose." amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/55…
In 2020, French writer Gabriel Matzneff came under investigation for his pedophilia.
For decades, he was celebrated for talking openly about stalking teenage girls outside schools in Paris and having sexual contact with 8-year-old boys in the Philippines. nytimes.com/2020/02/11/wor…
When Francesca Gee sought out book publishers for her account of how, as a teenager, she was lured into a toxic relationship with writer Gabriel Matzneff when he was 20 years her senior, she was shut out of the industry and had to self-publish.
Earlier this year, protests broke out across France calling for revisions to age of consent laws after a woman came forward with claims that she was raped by 20 firefighters when she was between the ages of 13 - 15.
French courts ruled that 20 firefighters accused of raping a girl when she was aged 13 - 15 should be charged with the lesser offense of "sexual assault without violence, constraint, threat or surprise," with a maximum 7 year sentence, rather than rape.

Luc Besson met Maïwenn Le Besco when she was 12 and he was 29. They began dating when she was only 15 and he was 32; she was 16 when they married.

Not a single government is tracking deaths or adverse outcomes as a result of surrogacy, a medicalized process that uses powerful drugs such as Lupron - which is anecdotally linked to greater risks of reproductive cancer, and to elevated risks of lethal complications.
This is Lupron. This is the drug pumped into women's bodies during the surrogacy process. This is the drug used as a 'puberty blocker' on minors. Women have been trying to raise awareness of how it has ruined their health for decades now.
@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism I'm tired of being gaslit about the harassment I've endured quietly, not making a fuss over, as if it isn't real, didn't happen, or someone else's feelings are a reason to discredit everything I've done.
This is about power, not feelings. That was obvious to me from the start.
@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism I knew that the whole point of crying "homophobia" to the extent of making shit up, claiming bigotry and hurt feelings, was really about self-promotion, and I was proven correct.
@DuncanHenry78 @Slatzism Fred said I made up the claim that he compared me to Hitler as a form of "victimhood whoring". But the truth is he did compare me to Hitler, and tried to discourage people from listening to an interview I gave about the harms of porn, and women being battered by men in prison
Here is trans-identified male politician, Maja Tegeler, arguing earlier this year that Germany's sex self-ID law did not go far enough, and ought to be altered to allow men to enter women's saunas.
Reem Alsalem UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls (@UNSRVAW):
"I express my deep concern regarding the reported negative effects that this new legislation could have on the rights of women and girls in Germany.
Also, I would like to remind the Government of Your Excellency that, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, States Parties shall be held accountable if they do not take all appropriate measures to prevent, investigate, prosecute, punish, and offer reparation for acts or omissions by state and non-state actors that lead to gender-based violence against women." x.com/unsrvaw/status…
The entire purpose of the linguistic sleight-of-hand involved in the term "gender dysphoria" is to normalize and depathologize male sexual fetishism.
"Transgender" turns every single major paraphilia in diagnostic literature into a protected identity.
The very first wedge used in diagnostic literature - by sexologists and psychiatrists - was to claim that men who masturbated wearing the stolen clothing of women was not a sexual act, but an identity crisis.
That men who were absorbed in BDSM, in making themselves into torture porn, scenes that reflect what they are aroused by seeing done to women, was not sexual in nature, but an expression of themselves.
This wedge, detailed in the DSM-4, allowed every other paraphilia to fall under the dominant category of gender identity or dysphoria - the category that is now regarded as not a sexual pathology, but an inborn trait, an identity.
All the while, there has been the knowledge that paraphilias rarely ever appear in isolation - they overlap.
So now, every major sexual pathology gets to hide under the "skirt" of gender dysphoria.
"Transvestic fetishism is not diagnosed when crossdressing occurs exclusively during the course of Gender Identity Disorder".
This diagnostic recommendation, used to excuse an obvious sexual behavior intrinsically linked to sadomasochism, and to further escalation of fetishism - which can result in criminal sexual offending - was the only door that needed to be opened to allow all forms of paraphilias, even pedophilia, to fall under a protective "umbrella" of sexual identity - rather than as a potentially dangerous pathology.
Why did it happen?
Precisely because the abuse involved in transvestic fetishism is directed primarily at women, and therefore invisible.
To this day, Ray Blanchard, who coined "autogynephilia", agrees with this assessment from the DSM-4: that an explicit male fetish for misogyny is simply an identity crisis.

It's almost like the IOC, UN, and WEF are organized in a structural pattern of removing women's rights.
A little more information about "Wren Nilla", who said,
"As a teenager, I would compulsively draw dismembered female bodies... When [transgender feelings] started to come out, they had a sickly fetishistic vibe to them."
He recently lived in Brooklyn and was offering house cleaning services.

"The most accurate portrayal of my own transgender psychosis I've ever seen was in Silence of the Lambs."
"I'm a huge fan of 'Law and Order'... However, I can't help but feel as though the show demonizes men and pedophiles a bit too much."
