Virginie Depant was born on June 13, 1969 (according to other sources - in 1974) in Nancy (France). At the age of 17, she left her home and worked in various places. Virginie was a visiting housekeeper, wrote articles for a music rock magazine, as well as for porn publications, worked in massage parlors of Lyon, in peep shows, ascetic as a singer, was a saleswoman at the Paris bookstore Virgin Megastore. Scandalous fame brought her debut novel “Fuck me” (1993), which produced the effect of a bomb exploded and sold 40 thousand copies. In 1995, the novel “Trained Bitches” was published, only strengthening the scandalous fame of Depant, and it was followed by the book “Little Things” (1999), which was awarded the Flora Prize. In 2000, a new scandal fell on the share of the film "Fuck me", staged by Virginie Depant herself on her novel of the same name - together with former porn actress Coralie. Because of the abundance of explicit sexual scenes, professional actresses did not want to star in it - and the main characters Manu and Nadine played pornographic models - Karen Lankom and Raffaela Anderson. The picture made a lot of noise and caused a stormy reaction of the public.
