Against Gerard Depardieu Another report was filed alleging sexual assault. Actress Hélène Darras accuses the 74-year-old of sexually harassing her in 2007 while filming the film “Disco.”
Shortly before his 75th birthday, another woman filed a complaint against French actor Gérard Depardieu for sexual assault. Actress Hélène Darras accuses the French star of sexually harassing her during the filming of the film “Disco” in 2007, the public prosecutor’s office in Paris announced. It is currently being examined whether the investigation will continue or whether the case has already expired.
Depardieu, who is already facing charges for raping another actress twice, denies all allegations. His lawyer initially did not comment on the latest complaint.
“I wanted to counter his defenders who downplay our allegations and claim that they are just reports,” Darras told the AFP news agency. She is referring to the women who have reported sexual abuse by Depardieu in various media, but have not yet filed a complaint.
Gérard Depardieu is said to have groped Darras
It took her a year to bring herself to file a complaint, said Darras. “Going into a police station and telling a police officer that you were touched in your private parts is not easy. It takes time to think about it.” The actress accuses Depardieu of groping her during filming.
“Gérard Depardieu’s problematic behavior was well known in the French cinema world,” said the head of the producers’ union, Marc Missionnier, to the France 2 broadcaster, which planned to publish a documentary on the allegations against Depardieu on Thursday.

Depardieu spoke publicly about the rape allegations for the first time in October. “I have absolutely never abused a woman,” he said in an open letter. He countered the plaintiff Charlotte Arnould, who accused him of raping her twice in his apartment in 2018, that she gave herself to him of her own free will.
Since the now 28-year-old actress’ first complaint, more than a dozen other women have come forward in various media outlets accusing Depardieu of sexual violence. Since then, Depardieu has largely withdrawn. The dubbing voice in the next film by director Michel Hazanavicius has been canceled. His agent said he no longer wanted to take on a project “in the current context.” Depardieu turns 75 on December 27th.
