Gérard Depardieu continues the controversies

The icon Gérard Depardieu is losing his splendor. Long considered a monster of French cinema, he has faced several controversies. He is accused by several women of sexual assault and rape and will soon be heard by the courts as part of these investigations.

But if he’s been talked about since the start of the week, it’s for a completely different reason. He is accused of violently hitting photographer Rino Barillari while having lunch at Harry’s Bar in Rome with his partner Magda Vavrusova.

According to the photographer, she jumped on him before violently hitting him. He filed a complaint against both parties, and Magda Vavrusova is also said to have filed a complaint.

But who is she?

After this story, a question arose. But who is this companion that everyone is talking about? There is very little information about Magda Vavrusova. According to the site IMDb, a specialized cinema database, the latter would be production manager, but also actress. She would have worked on the films Babylon AD, The Zookeeper’s Wife or Everyone standing alongside Franck Dubosc and Alexandra Lamy.

On December 8, 2020, on her X account, Gérard Depardieu’s partner did not hesitate to defend him following the rape accusations: “I fell in love in 2017 with a unique man, human, insolent, provocative, vulgar, excessive, extraordinarily cultured, talented like no other, but above all free (…) What can I do about it? Nothing, except to take up my pen to defend, to tell the story of the man I know with whom I have shared my life for more than 6 years and whom I love. »
