56 French stars and producers defend him
In an open letter published on Tuesday, 56 French stars and producers have come forward to defend actor Gerard Depardieu in the wake of a formal investigation and additional accusations of rape and sexual misconduct against the performer.
Two dozen of those are women. Even French President Emmanuel Macron referred to the many sexual assault allegations against the actor as a “witch hunt.” The political leader also dismissed calls to strip Depardieu of his Legion of Honour medal.
