Gérard Depardieu has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two women during a film shoot in 2021.
...
The 76-year-old, who was not in court for the verdict, was convicted of sexually assaulting a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director during the shooting of the feature film Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters) in Paris in September 2021.

The court heard that Depardieu trapped the set decorator, identified only as Amélie, between his legs on the film set and grabbed her buttocks, pubis and chest. She said he trapped her with force, used obscene language and had to be pulled off her.
...
Depardieu was also convicted of sexually assaulting an assistant director on the same film, touching her breasts or buttocks on three separate occasions. The woman, who was not named in the media, was tasked with accompanying Depardieu from his dressing room on to the set during the filming. She said the assaults left her “petrified”.

1. Shame on him. He's another piece of 💩

2. Finally!

7. That's my reaction too.

Damning stories have been circulating about him since the early 90s. As in so many of these cases, it's like they wait for the person to stop earning them so much money, and when their stars have fallen or they get close to retirement age, then everybody speaks up. "Everybody's known about him for years."

3. Shameful.

Whatever happened to him? - he had it all when he started out.

[Jose Garcia]

4. Maybe was always like this, but people were willing to

turn a blind eye to this sort of thing back then.

5. He has long been accused of this kind of behavior.

He is a pig.

I feel for his victims, many whom certainly have remained silent.

One of his daughters, Julie Depardieu, stars in one of my favorite French TV series.

6. Tax Dodger. Money Launderer.

French actor Gérard Depardieu has been under investigation since February 2024 for aggravated tax fraud and money laundering, a judicial source confirmed to Le Monde on Monday, February 24, after an initial report by Mediapart. He is suspected of falsely declaring his tax residency to be in Belgium since 2013.

9. Why the fuck is Brigitte Bardot defending Depardieu's right to sexually abuse women?

She backed Depardieu publicly, defending what she called “talented people who grab a girl’s bottom”.
