At the request of the Ministry of Executive Council (MCE), which reports directly to Prime Minister Legault, the Council of the National Order of Quebec will look into the case of Gérard Depardieu in the coming days.
According to our sources, the Prime Minister would be of the opinion that the knighthood granted to Depardieu in 2002 should be withdrawn from him.
The French actor is in the hot seat following the broadcast of a report broadcast on French TV. In extracts filmed five years ago during a trip to North Korea, the sacred monster of French cinema uses misogynistic, obscene and degrading remarks while addressing women and a little girl who goes horseback riding . “All sluts,” says Depardieu in the report.

In addition, a second complaint for sexual assault was filed against Depardieu by actress Hélène Darras, for facts, a priori prescribed, dating back to 2007 during filming.
Shocking, the actor’s comments and his behavior would tarnish the reputation of the National Order of Quebec.
However, Prime Minister Legault would wait for the Council’s recommendation before withdrawing the distinction which had been given to him by Prime Minister Bernard Landry more than twenty years ago.
