Actor Pierre Richard “is no longer one of the ambassadors of the Les Papillons association”announced Tuesday, December 26 on the social network “liberate as soon as possible the voice of children who are victims of violence, whatever it may be”. He was also a member of Ciivise, the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children, before resigning.
He criticizes Pierre Richard for having co-signed a column to defend Gérard Depardieu, accused of sexist and sexual violence. The actor has been indicted for rape since 2020. “Because we are and will always be on the side of the victims and because the platform in support of Gérard Depardieu that he signed is indecent, Pierre Richard is no longer one of the ambassadors of the Les Papillons association”writes Laurent Boyet.
He specifies that Pierre Richard was one of the association’s ambassadors for three years. Laurent Boyet sent a message to the actor to tell him that “his support for Gérard Depardieu was not compatible with his commitment to a child protection association”, he told Agence Radio France on Tuesday. The founder of “Butterflies” did not receive a response from the person concerned.
Laurent Boyet also reminds Agence Radio France that host Cyril Hanouna has no longer been a sponsor of his association since March, after the latter relayed conspiracy theories on adrenochrome in his show on C8.
