This is a new investigation by “Médiapart” which is shaking the media. This Tuesday, April 11, 2023, our colleagues unveiled a shock file in which thirteen women accuse Gérard Depardieu of inappropriate or non-consensual sexual remarks and gestures which would have taken place between 2004 and 2022. Thus, actresses, technicians, extras or make-up artists have decided to break the silence!
Through their testimonies, “Médiapart” wished to denounce the modus operandi of the 74-year-old actor. “It starts with something mocking, friendly. Then he makes salacious faces with his tongue, obscene gestures, always talks about ‘your pussy’, ‘you’re wet’, I’m going to lick your pussy’, take off your Tampax'”, revealed an actress from the filming of the feature film “La Môme”.
When he shines in front of the camera, Gérard Depardieu established a “sexualized atmosphere” while ignoring the discomfort of his colleagues. In addition, the main interested party would ask inappropriate and very intimate questions at all costs. From time to time, the ex-companion of Carole Bouquet would also have fun making “sounds of pigs in heat”, of the “grunts and snorts” eno more “licks”.

With other women, Gérard Depardieu would not have hesitated to touch their crotch, their buttocks or even their chest. In the midst of turmoil, Pierre Richard’s sidekick formally denied – through the voice of his lawyers – all of the “charges likely to fall under criminal law”. Still according to “Médiapart”, the sacred monster of the 7ᵉ art simply claims to love “to court” like a gentleman.
This Wednesday April 12, 2023 on the set of “Estelle Midi”, Estelle Denis and Emma Dancourt returned to this burning issue. Unlike her colleague, the one who filed a complaint in 2021 against PPDA for sexual assault calls for a boycott of Gérard Depardieu! A point of view which had the merit of disconcerting the companion of Marc Thiercelin: “Do you no longer watch films with Gérard Depardieu?”.“No”, replied his interlocutor.
“Ah well… Your children want to see ‘The goat’, you say no to them?”, added Estelle Denis. “Ah, I tell them no. And I explain to them who Depardieu is, of course, they have to be educated […]”, defended the journalist by evoking her countless film projects despite her legal concerns. “But he is indicted, he is not guilty for the moment…”, underlined the mother of Victoire and Merlin. “I feel you coming with your presumption of innocence with Gérard Depardieu… You didn’t use it, thank you!”, dropped Emma Dancourt before defending the alleged victims. A lively debate that has generated countless reactions on social networks.

@EmmaDancourt : “Congratulations girls, they take enormous risks. Should we boycott? Yes! And we have to educate people, we cannot separate the man from the artist.”#EstelleMidipic.twitter.com/rkiNSzk1xy
