French Actress Anne-Elisabeth Blateau Arrested, Steps Back From TV Role

French actress Anne-Elisabeth Blateau was taken into police custody in Paris following an incident involving her son, according to reports from Le Parisien and other French outlets. The reports, dated 25 September 2026, state that she was detained while intoxicated.

Blateau, known for her role in the long-running comedy series "Scènes de Ménages," has announced she is stepping back from the show. According to BFM, she said she is affected by bipolar disorder. Linternaute.com reports that the case has involved references to violence and to illness, though the outlet does not detail the allegations.

Paris Match reports that Blateau has been ordered to attend a "parental responsibility" course after suspicions of violence toward her son. The other outlets in the summary do not confirm that specific measure, and no further details of the allegations have been reported in the material available.

The accounts differ in emphasis: some outlets lead with the custody and the health disclosure, while Paris Match focuses on the course linked to the suspicions concerning her child. What the reports share is that the incident took place in Paris and that Blateau has chosen to withdraw from her television work in its aftermath.

Further reporting is expected on the status of any legal proceedings and on when, or whether, Blateau will return to "Scènes de Ménages."
