Gérard Darmon targeted by accusations of sexist and sexual violence

Among the reported victims are dressers, makeup artists, technicians and production assistants. Some of them held precarious positions at the time of the events, increasing their vulnerability according to the magazine. A young woman, then an intern on the set of “You are young, you are beautiful” in 2018, reports that the actor made insistent advances towards her before turning to insults when she refused them. On several occasions, Gérard Darmon allegedly used degrading remarks towards him.

A production assistant on the same project claims to have been the victim of non-consensual physical contact, the actor having put his hand between her thighs while saying hello. After rejecting the gesture, she suffered his silence for two weeks.

Several women interviewed said they were hesitant to report the facts, fearing professional reprisals or loss of their job. If one of them says she has filed a complaint with production, the majority of incidents seem not to have resulted in official action.
