Actor Gérard Darmon Accused of Sexual Harassment and Assault by Nine Women

The allegations, spanning six film sets since 2018, describe a pattern of abusive behavior, with victims citing a lack of protection from production teams.

Nine women, including young and precariously employed film industry workers, accuse Gérard Darmon of sexual harassment, assault, and sexist insults during film productions between 2018 and 2024.
Victims report non-consensual physical contact, sexually explicit remarks, and a hostile work environment created by the actor's alleged 'sense of total power.'
One woman, a 19-year-old intern at the time, alleges she was propositioned by Darmon and later insulted when she refused his advances, prompting her to file a complaint against the production for failing to protect her.
Production teams on four of the six films reportedly warned female workers about Darmon's behavior but took no direct action to address it with the actor.
Darmon denies all allegations, while Politis, the outlet that conducted the investigation, claims the actor threatened a journalist during the reporting process.
