Former Bond girl Ursula Adress claimed that her former manager, Eric Freymond, lost £16million ($21.3 million) of her fortune.
The 90-year-old actress told German news outlet Blick in a recent interview that she’s “devastated” over Freymond’s alleged crimes and believes that he intentionally targeted her.
“For eight years, I was courted and wooed,” she said. “They lied to me ruthlessly and exploited my goodwill and trust in a perfidious, even criminal, way to take everything from me.”
She added, “And they were counting on my age. I’m so devastated.”
The “Dr. No” star also said that she can’t sleep and is suffering from debilitating anxiety.
“This feeling of helplessness is unbearable, it’s killing me,” Andress stated.
Andress — who is worth an estimated £18 million ($24 million) — claimed that Freymond transferred her fortune from Lombard Odier bank to an account held by the Vaud Notaries’ Association at Saanenbank.
She’s also accused him of purchasing artwork worth millions of dollars belonging to his wife, Caroline, amounting to millions, without Andress’ knowledge or consent.
According to Blick, Freymond was previously suspected of embezzling money from Hermès heir Nicolas Puech’s fortune.
He confessed to some of the charges during an interrogation in Paris in July 2025.
Two weeks later, Freymond took his own life.
The outlet also reported that the artworks Freymond allegedly bought with Andress’ fortune are now in Caroline’s name, with the hopes of the transactions allegedly providing him with liquidity.
