A delicate subject that she did not hesitate to approach on a television set. This Thursday, December 21, Carole Bouquet was on the set of the show Daily to present his new role in the series Escort Boys, directed by Ruben Alves. After discussing this news, the actress wanted to react to the Depardieu affair. Already accused of sexual assault and rape by several women, the actor recently found in the turmoil, following the broadcast of an issue of Further investigation at the beginning of December, during which the person concerned made a string of obscene words. Faced with Yann Barthès, Dimitri Rassam’s mother was quick to step up to the plate. “I have a real problem with what is happening with Gérard at the moment”first released the one who positioned herself “as more than feminist”. And to continue: “I am happy that all women can speak out. But on the other hand let this media tribunal continue and it’s been going on for months and it’s killing a manI can not support it !”
After pointing the finger “the media court set up” against Julie Depardieu’s father, Carole Bouquet lost her temper against the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul Malak. Concerning the words of the sacred monster of cinema revealed in the show Further investigationCarole Bouquet admitted that Gérard Depardieu “could be capable of being rude” and to have “extraordinary and sometimes borderline humor”. However, the actress is convinced of one thing. “He is incapable of harming a woman.” “I lived with him for ten years, I know who Gérard is, with or without alcohol. I know Gérard’s demons. He is incapable of doing violence to a woman”, she declared while indicating that she was leaving this matter in the hands of justice. And to conclude: “Let’s stop this excitement, this delight that the media have at the moment around Gérard Depardieu. I can’t take it anymore. They are killing a man!”
