It’s a sensitive subject that she hasn’t evaded. This Tuesday, December 19, Fanny Ardant was the guest of RTL Good evening!to defend his new role, in the film My France To Me, directed by Benoît Cohen. After discussing her current affairs, the actress was questioned on other subjects, including 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 sexist and obscene words. Questioned on this subject by our colleagues from RTL, her friend Fanny Ardant did not hesitate to step up to the plate, to publicly support the criticized actor.
“Once you have a friend, if you betray your friend, you’re a snitch. That has an end in prison, that is to sayyou have to stay loyal to the people you love“, estimated the one who filmed with him on several occasions. The actress then spoke about the legal aspect of this affair: “I thought that justice was one of the pillars of democracy, and therefore, justice is no longer expressed? (…) I always thought that a new society, established through fear, was a totalitarian society.“, she continued on the airwaves of RTL, specifying that she had not “fear” to speak. “What’s happening with Gérard is a death sentence. I’m asked, so you’re not afraid? No. If they want to write me off for that…“, confided Fanny Ardant, who refuses to proclaim herself “judge“.

Gérard Depardieu affair: the actor “left France”, reveals his daughter Julie
Guest of Pro Hour this Monday, December 18 on CNews, Julie Depardieu wanted to react to the strong criticism of public opinion against her father Gérard Depardieu. The one who shares the life of Philippe Katerine notably made it known that the actor would have left France following this media outpouring. “He left France, because it’s very hard for him, I think, to live, all these looks, all these people“began by saying the one who played Joséphine Cortès in The yellow eyes of crocodiles (directed by Cécile Telerman in 2014). And to continue about the actor now targeted by three complaints for rape: “He is elsewhere in Europe.”
