French actress Hélène Darras has denounced for sexual assault to the actor Gerard Depardieu. The complaint was filed in Paris last September, following Darras’ collaboration with a journalistic investigation about Depardieu, according to the portal digital France Info.

The reported events date back to film shooting ‘Disco’ in 2007, in which Darras obtained a secondary role. The actress assures that Depardieu’s behavior was “ungovernable” and details that he proposed to go to her dressing room, which she refused, although that did not stop the actor from continuing. “groping her”.

“Gérard Depardieu is the king of the set. She looked at me like I was a piece of meat and grabbed me by the waist, he touched my hip and the buttocks. Once he told me bluntly: ‘Do you want to come up to my dressing room?’ I told him no, but that didn’t change the fact that between takes he continued groping me,” says the actress.

Darras remembers that he did not report before because he did not want to be on the “black list” at 26 years old, but he wrote how he felt in a diary, according to France Info. “The abysmal void. I no longer exist. The nothing. Unseen. My heart hurts so much. The worst wound is the psychological one. “No one can give me back my trust, no one can give me my life back except me,” she wrote. Until now, Hélène Darras had not filed a complaint, but she had contributed his testimony to the police to support that of Charlotte Arnould, who accused the actor in December 2020 of having raped her in a mansion, according to the aforementioned media.

This complaint comes after 13 testimonies of womenwho accused Depardieu of sexual violence during the filming of eleven films released between 2004 and 2022, as reported by the French newspaper ‘Mediapart’ last April. After the publication of these women’s testimonies, the actor denied any criminally reprehensible behavior.

The women who offered their testimony to ‘Mediapart’ went to court, but none of them filed a complaint, thinking that their word would not be enough compared to Depardieu’s, as well as the fear of consequences about the future of his career in the event of any public complaint, the newspaper details.
