Targeted by a rape complaint in 2020, Gérard Depardieu, does it again flow ink… And for good reason, while a legal action for sexual assault was filed by the actress Hélène Darras who claims to have been sexually assaulted by the latter on the set of the film Disco (2007), the actor faces a media tornado since the publication of the magazine Further investigation on Thursday December 7, 2023.
The reason ? The weekly France 2 show revealed previously unseen images of the actor making shocking sexual and sexist remarks during a trip to North Korea in 2018. Distressing images that made many personalities react… And this Thursday January 25, 2024, Karine Silla, the actor’s ex-partner also wanted to break the silence.
Questioned by our colleagues from Paris Matchthe one who hesitated for a long time before speaking first made it known that she regretted the media turn of the affair: “The danger of a hot topic commented on by the media is that everyone is on it. Everyone is talking, signing, shouting. But who among these thousands of people knows him, has even just met him? It doesn’t matter, he’s a public man, he no longer has the right to his private life, too bad for his children, they will be the collateral damage ! The amalgams are such that we no longer know if we are talking about Depardieu, Weinstein, Cantat, Matzneff or a serial killer. But even Guy Georges, the rapist from eastern Paris, was entitled to a fair trial!”she declared in particular.
