A Greek actress who now lives in London, Nancy Markou posted on her social media profile a text in which she describes her acquaintance with Petros Filippidis and the harassment she suffered.
Nancy Markou in her post stressed that she met Petros Filippidis in the last year of her school and the following year she worked as a taxi driver in a theater starring the actor.
“On the occasion of the following letter, I in turn share my experience with this man – our great Greek actor. I do not know if anything will come out of this story but, to talk, to get it out of you, I find it a bit reassuring. You inform the world and you hope that maybe something will happen, maybe we will all open our eyes and see which people we equate and give our respect to.
Those who know me, knew that from a young age, 14-15, I wanted to become an actor. After much discussion with my parents about my choice, I went to drama school after high school. There, I had the good fortune to meet great people, actors, directors, set designers, dancers … many! Among them was K. Filippidis.
At the time, I considered him a great teacher. We took classes in the last year of school and the next year I worked as a taxi driver in one of the shows she directed and starred in. On the first day, the day of the rehearsal of my clothes, and as we were going down the stairs of the theater and towards the exit he said to me “I am very glad that you are here”. Thinking that he could refer to my talent (!!!!!!) I said thank you very much And then he told me that I can talk to him in the singular. I did not say anything.
After a while, 1-2 months, and while, as I thought, he was helping me with vocal exercises, he was allowing me to go to rehearsals, etc., he takes my hand and caresses me. I froze. “What happened?” He tells me. “Nothing” I tell him. He tells me '' I will stop if you do not want to. '' He sees me being confused and says' 'Look, I have a wife and a child, let' s not make it a point. You do not want, you do not want ''.
I had to think he has a wife, a child, a career, a reputation; After a while, and other incidents, because the exploitation did not stop there, and with other people involved … I declared my resignation to the head of the theater. He asked me '' Did it bother you, tell me. I know what he is doing ''. The lighting and the musician of the theater also knew. I was told. “Everyone knew what he was doing and why many taxi drivers left the theater within a few months.”
“Do you want to talk in detail, Peter, about what you have done to me?” Do you want to talk and explain the day I got home and told my mother that I was leaving the theater and did not want to work as an actress and describe what her eyes saw? We have never talked about it, my family is learning it now, with this post. But my mother knew it, I'm sure. He knew something had happened. Do you want to refer to the joke you sold me that if we have sex you will give me roles in theaters? Do you want to refer to these details? », The girl adds.
“You are a ridiculous human being. And you and your peers. I changed country to escape but the thoughts of what was happening those nights in the theater are still with me and will never go away. Did you take advantage of a 22-year-old girl when she wanted what? To become an actor. Well done …. for me and for all the girls to whom you have done the same. I'm full of rage right now. But know that if this story is to go further, I will be in the front line to fight you with what I have “, he concludes.
