last October 1, Le Figaro published an open letter to Gerard Depardieu, in which the latter defended himself against the accusations of sexual violence against him, in particular against the young actress and dancer Charlotte Arnold.
The latter accuses the actor of raping him twice at his home in 2018. Gerard Depardieu, who is considered innocent, is also accused of sexual violence by 15 other women.
THE magazine he Just posted a testimonial for actress Anouk Greenberg, who was recently seen casting for L’innocent and La Nuit du 12. She explains that she felt obligated to testify and support Charlotte Arnold.
Anouk Greenberg knows Charlotte Arnold personally and toured with the actress in Merci la vie in 1991 and Les Volets verts in 2020. He was the companion of director Bertrand Blier, with whom the actor toured 9 times.
Anyone who has worked in Depardieu’s films knows that he attacks women.
He told the magazine: “I can’t keep quiet anymore. Anyone who has worked in Depardieu’s films knows that he attacks women. The silence of this environment is deafening, humiliating to our art and must end“.
The magazine specifies that many cinematographers refused to be interviewed about the Depardieu case.
Gerard Depardieu’s Open Letter to Anouk GreenbergAbuse of victims who suffer because of his deviant behavior.“He says it’s about”A defensive strategy for flirting with the crowd and becoming your ally.”
“Charlotte is alone against all. Therefore, we must move forward as a group. That’s why I come out of the forest– he adds before giving this enlightening testimony.
“I’ve known him all these years when I was in a relationship with Bertrand Blier and when I shot Merci la vie with him. Depardieu was part of my daily life. When he says in this letter that he never assaults a woman. , I saw him doing it all this time!
Verbally, physically. I saw how he put his hands on women’s buttocks, touched their breasts and genitals while joking. I could hear him talking all day long about how he wanted to suck them up. All day long ! And no one said anything.“

He then explains: “I was Blair’s partner, I was relatively untouchable. But I did not stay at all his verbal attacks. And then he was amused when Blair asked me to turn on me or say dirty things while we were acting out scenes.
He and Blyer forced each other to humiliate women and laugh about it, and the chorus pledged their allegiance while also laughing to please the kings. At that point in my life, I had no choice but to crack a smile. (…)“

Gerard Depardieu
Anuk Greenberg I’m also sad that the movie world operates this wayFamily with all that can be pathological, even cruel: if someone has been sexually abused in the clan, the clan will protect the aggressor and turn on the victim..”
As for omerta in cinema, the actor adds: “Men stand up for each other. They’re upset by what’s going on, by the words they’re spreading. I’ve never seen a man step in to stop Depardieu’s deviant behavior. Nor women.
Fanny ArdanCharlotte, who knew him, said that he had avenged himself by scorning love, but where had his humanity gone too? What I say about Depardieu does not take away from the fact that at certain moments we look at his game and see grace, a great knowledge of the human soul. How is this division possible?
But when the industry says, “Yeah, but she’s a huge actor,” that’s not the point.”
