Nothing is going well in the world of the seventh art. This Monday, December 25, 2023, a column written to support Gérard Depardieu was signed by 56 public figures. “Gérard Depardieu is probably the greatest of actors. The last sacred monster of cinema. We can no longer remain silent in the face of the lynching that falls on him, in the face of the torrent of hatred that pours out on his person, without nuance, in the most complete amalgam and in defiance of a presumption of innocence from which he would have benefited, like everyone else, if he were not the giant of cinema that he is” hammered the signatories in order to defend the 74-year-old actor who, since December 7, when an issue of the show Additional Investigation being dedicated to him was broadcast, finds himself strongly singled out.
Among the signatories, we find Carla Bruni, Gérard Darmon, Nathalie Baye, Benoît Poelvoorde, Carole Bouquet, Charlotte Rampling, Nadine Trintignant, Jacques Weber, Pierre Richard, Roberto Alagna, Yvan Attal, Arielle Dombasle, Emmanuelle Seigner, Dominique Besnehard, Victoria Abril , Boualem Sansal, or even Jacques Dutronc. By discovering that the actress Victoria Abril was part of the support for Gérard Depardieuthe actress Lucie Lucas, with whom she shared the poster in the series Clemcould not contain his anger.
Victoria Abril defended by an actor from the series “Clem” after being destroyed by Lucie Lucas
“Isn’t that true?…I’m in shock…tell me you didn’t do that?! Victoria… do you want us to talk about your numerous attacks, including sexual assaults, against your partners? Come to think of it, I’m not surprised that you signed this rag… you’re freaking out too and when you think about it, you’re right.” launched the French actress on Instagram, thus attacking the 64-year-old Spanish actress who played her cheerful mother in the TF1 fiction.
If Victoria Abril did not respond to Lucie Lucas’s attacks, an actor from the series Clem has just come out of silence to… defend the first city. This is Kevin Elarbi who played Hicham. “Victoria Abril has integrity, and has freedom of expression. Whether we agree or not, she has the right to speak. Without fascist dictatorship of censorship. I told her yesterday, so she can be assured of my unconditional support. Working with her on Clem was an honor.” he said on the social network X, formerly Twitter, in the caption of a photo in which they both appear. This is what is said.
