ai generated text

Gerard Depardieu, a 76-year-old French actor, is on trial for allegedly committing sexual assault on two women during the 2021 filming of the movie "Les Volets Verts". According to the accusations, Depardieu groped the breasts and buttocks of two women, including a 54-year-old set dresser. He initially denied any physical contact, but during the trial, he admitted to grabbing the hips of one of the accusers, claiming it was to avoid slipping. The actor faces up to five years in prison and a fine of 81,000 euros if convicted.

    1. One of the great things that is happening is that women who are talking against very powerful men are mostly not considered crazy anymore.

    1. Yes, he takes up space on set; yes, he has a big mouth, says crude things, likes to play the idiot on a set because people will then be less afraid of his personality ... I know Gérard Depardieu, I've heard his shouting, his cries of anger, his provocations ... but I have never witnessed a gesture I found shocking.

    1. There's a fear, because he's a cinema giant.
    2. It's a struggle between David and Goliath and they are afraid of retaliation as they all work in cinema but at a much lower level than Depardieu.

    1. I don't see why I would go around groping a woman, her buttocks, her breasts. I'm not somebody who rubs himself against others on the Métro. I've been told that exists, I don't know about those types of things, there are so many vices I don't know.
    2. What do you mean by salacious? You mean saying 'pussy'? But I say 'pussy' all the time, even addressing myself, I think it's funny.
    3. If it's hot, if I'm in a bad mood, things always go on too long.
    4. I've always been told I have a Russian nature; I don't know if it's the drinking or the vulgarity.
    5. More serious than a hand on a bum. That is, I didn't put a hand on a bum.
    6. I think that maybe, I don't know, she was wary because of my reputation of being vulgar, crude, rude.
    7. I did not touch her buttocks, I did not touch her breasts, I did none of that.
