Nine women denounce inappropriate behavior by actor Gérard Darmon on several shoots. Although no complaint has been filed to date, these testimonies have sparked a lively debate in the cinema community.
In an investigation published by Politis, nine women accuse Gérard Darmon of behavior described as sexist and sexual on six shoots between 2018 and the summer of 2023.
These women, including makeup artists, hairdressers, dressers, and production assistants, speak of inappropriate gestures, inappropriate comments, and a climate that they describe as “oppressive” for women on film sets.
Among the incidents reported, an assistant director claims that the actor slipped his hand between his thighs during a greeting, ironically saying: “It's okay! You're not going to give me a Me Too”.
An intern who refused his advances also denounces harassment: nicknamed “female dog” or “little slut”she explains that she left the set after experiencing constant contempt.
To date, Gérard Darmon categorically denies these accusations. No formal complaint or investigation has been initiated at this time.
His career impacted?
Although justice has not yet been taken, these revelations already raise the question of Gérard Darmon's future in the film industry.
According to experts, the actor could stay away from the spotlight in the coming weeks.
He could give up participating in the promotion of his next film, “The Gifts”scheduled to hit theaters for Christmas.
Each cinema operator retains the freedom to broadcast its works or not, but in the event of a possible future conviction, the repercussions could be significant for its future projects.
