She faces two charges, specifically, that the film’s director, Tyler Gillette, harassed and intimidated her for her safety.
According to information published by La Presse on Tuesday morning, the production team started receiving violent and aggressive messages from the start of filming.
The posts also mention the characters of the films.
Mazmanyan would go so far as to follow some members of the film crew at work, but also in their spare time, particularly at a cinema in the metropolis. It was at this time that the director reportedly lodged a complaint with the SPVM.
Ared Mazmanyan appeared on Aug. 8 and returned to Montreal court on Monday.
He will have to come back for the remaining procedures.
