More than 50 French performers, writers and producers published an essay Tuesday defending film star and national icon Gerard Depardieu amid growing scrutiny of his behavior toward women during his five-decade career. Advocates for sexual abuse victims expressed dismay at the outpouring of support. Depardieu was handed preliminary rape and sexual assault charges in 2020 following allegations from actress Charlotte Arnould, and has been accused by more than a dozen other women of harassing, groping or sexually assaulting them. Depardieu denies wrongdoing, and called the essay ‘’beautiful.’’ French President Emmanuel Macron also drew ire when he said last week that Depardieu ’’makes France proud.″

A great man being smeared.
0:17 how is this an "atack on art"?
Sexual predators must be put in prison actor or no actor
He can barely walk how can he assault somebody.
They're probably guilty as well…
He's innocent until proven guilty, either put him on trial or move on.
I believe in innocent until proven guilty, but defending him without the process coming to an end is just the arrogance of ‘the untouchable should remain untouchable’
what are those supporters thinking because he was nice to them doesn't mean he didn't assault the others
Kim says he makes Korea proud😊
Women who claim to be equal, cannot then claim to be victims!
I’m french and I can’t understand how and why he gets away with so much…Macron doesn’t speak for everybody in France, and to me Depardieu is an absolute embarrassment.
Clearly some of these cinema people take themselves way too seriously and don’t care that much about other people, namely women who had a bad encounter with him.
Like some people in this thread pointed out, being friendly to some doesn’t mean he didn’t cross a line with others.
He’s not being persecuted because of hyper sexualized and idiotic comments, but because several women have come forward with their stories. His comments are just evidence of how casual and obnoxious he is about sexuality.
Legally, he’s strictly speaking “innocent” until a court decides to rule he’s guilty but his actor friends don’t even seem to accept that he should be brought to Justice.
Depardieu made France proud of sexual assault cultural tradition. Therefore, French should all be proud.
Leave the perv alone unless you want other pervs to stick up for him.
Wow! a lot of holier than thou. Some people are looking for someone they admire to fall from grace.
Oh well….why didn't you say so. If all the actors come out in his support then he must be a good man.
Why didn't these actors stand up against the lockdowns?
France needs to improve
Shame on Framce and those who protect predators!!!! Wow!
Let’s see if he’s guilty first.
It's just a cultural difference, that kind of behavior is just called courting in France
Notice all the actors supporting him,notably women are well out of his age range..
Is this the same guy who moved to russia to avoid paying taxes in France? 😂
The letter says “Gérard Depardieu is probably the greatest of all actors.” I’m not sure if he’s even the greatest actor called Gerard.
French celebrities defending rapists again. Color me surprised 😮
