Actress Turned Movie Producer Cleared Of Hitting Boyfriend

Not Guilty: Randall

An actress turned film producer, who has worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, will not stand trial for attacking her boyfriend, currently on the run from police.

Nice-born Adriana Randall, 34, was accused of drunkenly “swinging punches” at 37 year-old Jean Francois Mondin at his £1.3m apartment.

She always denied the allegation, insisting she acted in self-defence, and at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court - on the day of the trial - it was announced the Crown Prosecution Service had “discontinued” the case. 

Randall was arrested and charged with assaulting Mondin - heir to luxury beauty and skincare brand Guinot - at his apartment overlooking Battersea Park on December 17, last year.

During an earlier hearing prosecutor Norleen Iba told the court officers were called to the apartment in Cascade Court, Sopwith Way.

“The incident was at the home address of the complainant and the defendant was drunk and there had been an argument.

“The complainant went into the kitchen and she followed and started swinging punches and slaps, cutting the cheek and eyebrow of Mr. Mondin.”

Randall, now living at a £2.7m flat in West Halkin Street, Belgravia claims her ex-boyfriend is mentally-ill and suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as well as abusing drugs.

In a separate prosecution Paris-born Mondin - son of Guinot founder Jean-Daniel Mondin, 73, - was charged with drug offences, but jumped bail last November and is still wanted.

He was charged with possessing Class C tranquilliser Xanax and cocaine at his home on October 27, but failed to attend Wimbledon Magistrates Court on November 26 and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Happier Times: Randall & Mondin

Guinot boasts it is the ’No.1 beauty salon in France’ and has opened a parlour in Ascot to kick-start a chain of luxury franchises in the UK.

Actress Randall - whose family live in Monaco - appeared in 2015’s ‘Experimenter’ alongside Hollywood stars Winona Ryder and Peter Sarsgaard; ‘The Price of Desire’ a biography starring Orla Brady and 2016’s ‘The Call Up’ a Sci-Fi thriller.

In 2016 she was a producer on ‘Triple 9’ an action crime thriller starring Kate Winslet; Chiwetel Ejiofor; Casey Affleck and Woody Harrelson.

As a producer she made 2017’s ’Tulip Fever’ starring Judi Dench, Christoph Waltz and Tom Hollander.

She is the executive producer of 2015’s mystery thriller ’Strangerland’, starring Nicole Kidman, Joseph Fiennes and Hugo Weaving.

Randall debuted as a producer on 2014’s ‘Wish I Was Here’, a comedy drama, starring Zach Braff and Kate Hudson.
