Despite the serious accusations hanging over him and despite the images broadcast on France 2 in the program Complément d’Enquête, Gérard Depardieu receives the support of many personalities. If the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, showed him compassion, several actresses like Carole Bouquet, Nathalie Baye and Fanny Ardant gave him support.
On December 25, a column erected by Yannis Ezziadi, friend of Gérard Depardieu’s daughter, Julie Depardieu, was published in the columns of Le Figaro. 56 personalities united to write a text aimed at defending the 74-year-old actor. “We can no longer remain silent in the face of the lynching that fell upon him, in the face of the torrent of hatred that pours down on his person, without nuance, in the most complete amalgamation and in defiance of a presumption of innocence of which he would have benefited, like everyone else, if he were not the giant of cinema that he is” we can thus read.
But very quickly, this platform caused an outcry among public opinion. An opposing camp, in total disagreement with this defense, has emerged with actresses Sophie Marceau, Lucie Lucas and Marilou Berry at its head. Today, Friday December 29, 2023, it is the turn of actress Nadine Trintignant to dissociate herself from the actor, even though she had signed the famous column.
“When I signed this column, I did not know who it was written by. I ask the people I have offended not to blame me for my serious error” she said in the columns of the newspaper Le Point. We remind you that Yannis Ezziadi, a 32-year-old actor, also serves as an editorialist for Causeur magazine, founded by journalist Élisabeth Lévy.
If Nadine Trintignant has decided to distance herself from Yannis Ezziadi, this is also the case for Carole Bouquet who made an announcement via a press release.
