Actor Gérard Depardieu is indicted for rape and sexual assault. Monday October 2, he assured, in the columns of “Figaro”, that he had never “abused a woman”.
Lille (North) in April, Bordeaux (Gironde) in May, Tours (Indre-et-Loire) and Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) in June… Gérard Depardieu’s tour is eventful. His shows have regularly been delayed this year by feminist demonstrators who relay accusations of sexual violence targeting the actor. To defend himself, he published an open letter in Le Figaro. “Never, ever have I abused a woman. Hurting a woman would be like kicking my own mother in the womb.”writes the actor.
13 women accused him
This is the first public response since the testimony of 13 women last April. They accused him of sexual violence in the newspaper Mediapart. He was already indicted in 2020 for rape and sexual violence against actress Charlotte Arnould. The plaintiff’s lawyer comments: “The state of mind we have is to reestablish the truth of my client.” The investigation targeting Gérard Depardieu is still in progress.
