74-year-old French actor Gerard Depardieu is again under suspicion. 13 women claim that he behaved inappropriately towards them. The victims said that all these incidents took place over many years – from 2004 to 2022. The women said that the artist indecently touched them, and also made vulgar proposals to them. Some of the victims openly spoke about their difficult experiences. Others wished to remain anonymous.
The victims said the incidents took place on set, including the comedy The Big House, the biopic Dumas and the Netflix project Marseille. The journalists’ investigation says that these are “gestures or suggestions of varying levels of severity.” They claim that Gerard touched women’s thighs and buttocks, said obscene words and sometimes “sighed importunately.”
The actor himself denies his guilt. Celebrity lawyers say the charges are based on subjective assessments. Also, members of the film crews do not confirm the stories of women. Some sources report that none of the victims is going to go to court. One of the high-profile cases of harassment by Depardieu occurred 5 years ago. Then the dancer Charlotte Arno wrote a statement accusing the actor of rape.
In addition to Charlotte Arnault’s complaint, we have collected testimonies from 13 women who claim they suffered inappropriate sexual gestures or suggestions from a well-known actor of varying severity, Mediapart quoted the investigation as saying.
In 2021, the French actor, who has Russian citizenship, was again charged with sexual assault. The statement said that in the summer of 2018, Depardieu raped the actress, who at that time was 22 years old, and he was 69 years old. Her name is not revealed. According to the newspaper Le Parisien, Depardieu and the girl’s father were well acquainted, and he offered to help the young actress move up the career ladder. He invited her several times to his house in Paris for rehearsals for her new theater role, but allegedly abused her twice.
