Gisèle Pelicot is on the stand today and asked about her decision to continue using the surname "Pelicot".
Gisèle explains that when the trial began her children were "ashamed" of the name.
She adds: "I have grandchildren who are called that.
"Today, I want them to be proud of their grandmother.
"My name is known across the world now. They shouldn't be ashamed of carrying that name.
"Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Yes we will. What a woman.

Kelly Clarkson singing "My Heart Will Go On" is UNREAL. One of the few who can really do justice to a Céline Dion classic. Those vocals were powerful, emotional, and straight-up flawless. She understood the assignment and NAILED it. Céline would be proud 🥺

Lynnzee Brown, the celebrated Haitian-American gymnast renowned for her stellar career at the University of Denver, is poised to etch her name in history as Haiti's inaugural female gymnast at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The International Gymnastics Federation has officially confirmed this monumental achievement.
Formerly a competitor for both the U.S. and DU, Brown earned her place through the Olympic Games Tripartite Commission's universality qualification. Transitioning her allegiance to Haiti, she made a notable impression at the 2023 World Championships and contributed as an assistant coach at Penn State University.
