Overview

• The complaint, lodged in early October, targets comments Jérémie Assous made on BFMTV on September 2.
• During that broadcast, Assous called Grinberg “ridiculous” and alleged she pressured the Les Volets verts director and crew to secure more scenes with Depardieu.
• Grinberg contends the televised claims were false and degrading and says they cast doubt on her integrity before a wide audience.
• Her filing comes in addition to complaints by actress Charlotte Arnould and her lawyer, which prompted the Ordre des avocats de Paris to open a deontological inquiry.
• The Bar is at a preliminary stage of hearing parties with possible outcomes from no action to disciplinary proceedings, and Assous did not immediately comment as the remarks coincided with news of Depardieu’s referral to a departmental criminal court.
