It’s a forum that continues to generate ink. On the evening of December 25, around fifty artists signed a platform in support of Gérard Depardieu– which is the subject of several complaints for rape and sexual assault – published on the website of the Figaro. Yvan AttalCarla Bruni and Carole Bouquet are among the signatories. A platform which outraged thousands of people on social networks including personalities like the actress Lucie Lucas and the politician, Ségolène Royal. Four days later, Carole Bouquet has also decided to clarify this subject.
This Friday, December 29, the French actress took to her Instagram account and explained that she did not share the values and ideas of the column she signed: “I signed a column for Gérard Depardieu, however, I do not support the associated ideas and values to the journalist carrying this column“, we can read. She continues: “Giving him visibility through Gérard makes me, as you can imagine, deeply uncomfortable.”
