Obnoxious, humiliating, sexist, sexist and obscene phrases. The actor Gérard Depardieu, 74, has portrayed himself in a documentary that was recorded in 2018 on a trip to Korea, which was never broadcast. The production, which has now seen the light in the program Further investigationfrom the France 2 network, has been scandalized by the deplorable tone of its comments.
Throughout the documentary, in some images to which he has had access This is life, the actor is seen throwing obscene phrases at women or girls who cross his path. Even though the camera is recording the scenes, Depardieu appears overbearing and sexist: “Do you know why women love to ride horses? Because they rub against the saddle. They are big sluts.” For example. Or when someone asks: “Is it all made of wood?” and he says, “Yeah, I eat what's in my underwear.” More: “You're going to take a shower thinking about me.”
An attitude that has raised blisters in France despite its widespread reputation for being vulgar. that weighs on the actor whose complaints are flooding at his door. At least, 14 women have reported him for his sexist behavior at work, as published. The testimonies collected against the interpreter speak of attacks since 2004. In addition, there is a complaint for alleged rape filed in 2018 by the young actress Charlotte Arnould; and a few days ago, French actress Hélène Darras also joined in, accusing the performer of sexual assault on a set in 2007.
