Gérard Depardieu Denies Second Plaintiff's Allegations in Ongoing Misconduct Trial

The French actor, facing allegations from two women during a 2021 film production, maintains his innocence as witness testimonies continue in Paris.

Gérard Depardieu, 76, is on trial for alleged sexual misconduct involving two women on the set of 'Les Volets Verts' in 2021.
Depardieu admitted to touching one plaintiff, a set decorator, on the hip but denied any sexual intent, claiming the act was misunderstood.
A second plaintiff, a 34-year-old assistant director, testified that Depardieu touched her buttocks and breasts multiple times during the production, which he denies.
The actor criticized the #MeToo movement during the trial, alleging it created a 'climate of terror' and contributed to the accusations against him.
If convicted, Depardieu faces up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine, with the trial expected to conclude soon.
