But the talent of Gérard Depardieu does not authorize the indignity of his behavior,” it is written in this text.

Having fallen from his pedestal following the broadcast at the beginning of December of images in which he multiplies misogynistic remarks, Gérard Depardieu is targeted by a total of three complaints for sexual assault or rape which he refutes.
