Gerard Depardieu is seriously in trouble. More than 10 women said that the actor harassed them on the set and proceedings began.

Depardieu's colleagues consider this to be ordinary bullying and wrote a collective letter in his defense. Pierre Richard, Carla Bruni, Vincent Perez, Carole Bouquet and many others took Gerard's side. But it did not help.

Today Depardieu was detained. The reason was accusations from two ladies: one production designer said that the actor sexually harassed her in 2014 on the set of the film “The Magician and the Siamese.” And another, the director’s assistant, complained that Gerard skillfully grabbed her butt while working on the “Green Shutters” project.

This was enough for the arrest.



Now Gerard is at the police station. He is interrogated and may be sent to a pre-trial detention center. The actor denies all the accusations and calls it female fantasies and a desire to promote himself on his behalf.

The investigation with the actor and women has been going on for several years now. Back in 2022, on the France 2 TV channel, they showed a program with angry actresses of varying degrees of popularity and a confused Gerard. After this, France Télévisions removed films with his participation from the airwaves.



If the actor is imprisoned, this will be the first time a media person has been arrested due to harassment in France. And he considers these accusations to be delusions of actresses whose careers did not work out. According to him, this is how the ladies decided to take it out on someone whose filmography and earnings were in perfect order.



The investigation is in full swing. Although the prosecution has no clear evidence - there are only statements from indignant ladies.
