The actor's lawyer continues to assert that the accusatory France 2 documentary is the result of misleading editing. However, although there is a gap between the images and the sound, the little girl is present each time he makes salacious remarks, according to our information and the bailiff's report that we were able to consult.
The defense of Gérard Depardieu, prosecuted for sexual assault, does not budge: the documentary, damning for the actor, broadcast on December 7, 2023 in “Complément d’investigation” (France 2), would be the fruit, in part, of a misleading montage, as his lawyer recently repeated.
In this film, where several women accuse him of assault, a sequence is devoted to his trip to North Korea in 2018, in the company of the writer Yann Moix. A trip during which he continues to make serious statements during his meetings with women.
“Highlight” of this report, the remarks he makes in a stud farm. “He goes so far as to sexualize a girl of around ten years old,” the voiceover explains. Images then arrive of a little girl parading on a pony, over which we hear Depardieu say: “If he ever gallops, she cums. That's good girl, keep going. You see, she’s scratching there.”
However, for Jérémie Assous, the lawyer for Moix and Depardieu, “everything had been set up”, as he stated
