Gérard Depardieu Denies Sexual Harassment Allegations in Ongoing Paris Trial

The actor admits to touching one accuser's hip but denies sexual intent, as the court hears detailed testimonies from two accusers.

Gérard Depardieu is on trial in Paris for allegations of sexual harassment during the filming of 'Les volets verts' in 2021, involving two women—a decorator and a production assistant.
Depardieu admitted to touching the decorator on the hip but claimed it was not sexually motivated, stating it was to avoid falling off a box.
The decorator testified that Depardieu blocked her with his legs, grabbed her hips, made vulgar comments, and held her tightly against her will.
A second accuser, a production assistant, alleged that Depardieu touched her three times, including on her buttocks and breasts, but not under her clothing.
Depardieu denies all allegations of sexual harassment, claiming to be a victim of media persecution, while his defense lawyer argues the accusations are fabricated.
