After having participated at the Dakar Rally with Georges Groine, her career brutally ended on 28 April 1985.

After six weeks in a coma, the face grievously injured and handicapped for life, she left the media to go to the South of France, ending at the same time the series Châteauvallon. She filed a complaint against Sacha Distel, who was then sentenced to one year in prison for involuntary injuries. During her hospitalization in 1985, three paparazzi entered her hospital room to take pictures of her against her will. The affair was followed with a condemnation of the paparazzi.
