When Jean Becker flies to the aid of Gérard Depardieu
It was the controversial part of the meeting, not “Me Too” at all. Jean Becker filmed with Gérard Depardieu, whose defense he spontaneously took to the detriment of the women who accused him of sexual violence. “Depardieu has been classified as a sex addict. It’s true that he had a fault, he threw his hands at the buttocks easily. I saw him do certain things, I told him to stop his bullshit. But he never raped anyone,” believes the director. “There is an unjustified fury around him. I hope he comes out of his trial cleared. »
It will be up to justice, in fact, to rule on the reality of the facts alleged against Gérard Depardieu. He must appear in March 2025 for sexual assaults allegedly committed in September 2021 during the filming of the film Les Volets vertes, by Jean Becker. A production designer and an assistant director filed a complaint against the actor. The latter is also under threat of another trial, for rape and sexual assault, following a complaint filed in 2018.
