Depardieu affair: 600 artists sign a counter-tribunal to denounce a text of support for the actor – (franceinfo)
Accused of inappropriate comments and indicted for rape and sexual assault, actor Gérard Depardieu received a support platform on Tuesday, December 26. This Saturday, on a blog hosted by Mediapart, more than 600 artists denounce this text.
More than 600 personalities from the world of culture stand up against Gérard Depardieu in a counter-tribunal, Saturday December 30. Published on a blog hosted by the Mediapart site, it calls for an end to impunity and condemns “the trivialization of words and actions such as those of Gérard Depardieu (…) in the face of the absence of listening and taking the victims seriously“. The text also considers that “the executioner places himself as a victim with the help of his friends“.
Angèle, Louane and Pomme among the signatories
Among the signatories we find singers like Angèle, Louane and Pomme. So many artists deplore the desire to separate the man from the work. “It’s agreeing to put your own judgment aside“, argues the text. This column sounds like a response to that published on the Figaro website, Tuesday December 26, in which around fifty saw the controversy surrounding the actor as a media lynching. Gérard Depardieu is indicted for rape and sexual assault.
