The lawyer already representing actress Charlotte Arnoux, the alleged rape victim that led to the indictment of Gerard Depardieu in December 2020, confirmed, according to Mediapart, that she sent this new complaint to the Paris prosecutor’s office by registered letter on Friday and by email on Saturday, reporting sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexist violence.

The Paris prosecutor’s office, when contacted by the press, could not confirm the filing of this complaint, and Depardieu’s lawyers did not immediately comment on all the facts published on the investigation website.

“I have never, never insulted a woman,” Gerard Depardieu declared in an open letter published in Le Figaro on October 1.

According to Durier-Diebolt, the facts date back to 2021 and are not written down. They allegedly took place in Paris, during the filming of the film “Les volets verts” directed by Jean Becker.

The woman who denounced the facts, Amelie, 53, was a set designer on the set.

According to his account to Mediapart, actor Cyrano de Bergerac made a series of obscenities while filming in Paris on September 10, 2021, before “grabbing her violently” and “crushing her lower back, stomach, up to her chest.”

The alleged attack was interrupted by the actor’s security.

According to Mediapart, another woman, Sarah, aged 33 and the third assistant director on the same set, accused Depardieu of touching her twice “on the breasts and buttocks” on August 31, 2021, also in Paris.

The investigative site also said actress Anouk Greenberg, who has criticized Mr Depardieu’s behavior towards women in the press, has filed a defamation complaint against BĂ©atrice Achille Heismann, Depardieu’s lawyer with Christian Saint-Palais, over comments made in December to France 5.

In addition to his allegations of alleged misconduct since August 2018, Depardieu is the subject of a preliminary investigation in Paris, reported by the Courrier de l’Ouest, for sexual assault in 2014 reported by a nurse on set who was then 24 years old. years

Another sexual assault complaint, filed by actress Ellen Darras for actions dating back to 2007, was dismissed in late December on the grounds that the action was out of time.

In Spain, Ruth Baza, a journalist and writer, filed a complaint with the Spanish police in mid-December for an alleged rape in Paris in October 1995.
