This is a case that has caused a lot of ink to flow. This Tuesday, April 11, 2023, Mediapart published a survey carried out over several months in which 13 women accuse actor Gérard Depardieu of sexual violence. The facts would have taken place between 2004 and 2022 on 11 shootings. None of the victims would have liked to file a complaint. “Some have given up, others have not even thought of it. In question, the feeling that their word would weigh little against the monument of French cinema. And that it could even sign the end of their career”indicates our colleagues.
The day after these shocking revelations, Estelle Denis seized on the subject on the set of her show noon estellefor the occasion, the ex of Raymond Domenech brought in Pascal Louvrier, professor of letters in Paris and author of Gerard Depardieu naked, a book that retraces the trajectory of an extraordinary actor. Far from calling into question the investigation of Mediapart, the man of letters took advantage of his time on the air of RMC’s flagship program to confide a surprising anecdote that occurred in the 80s. At the time, Gérard Depardieu collaborated with the singer Barbara for Lily Passion, “the story of a singer pursued by an assassin obsessed with her voice“, reports Télérama.

Then these photos take place and Depardieu fiddles around, puts hands all over Barbara. The photos attest to this and I have the testimony of Francis Giacobetti”first told Pascal Louvrier before explaining that he asked the photographer if the now 74-year-old actor was accustomed to the fact.
A question that Francis Giacobetti answers: “It’s happened to him before”. But has he already taken action? Once again, “He has this very curious answer, he says to me: ‘He has had children, that’s already not bad’. It can enlighten, but we are in the 70s – 80s since it’s about Lily Passion and it’s 1981.“Dark revelations.
