French actor Gérard Depardieu faces another complaint of sexual assault, this time from a movie decorator who alleges he groped her during filming in 2021. A lawyer says the complaint to the Paris prosecutor’s office accuses the 75-year-old Depardieu of sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexist insults. Two lawyers for Depardieu did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The latest accusations came after French actor Judith Godrèche called on France’s film industry to “face the truth” on sexual violence and physical abuse during a live broadcast Friday of the Cesar Awards ceremony, France’s version of the Oscars. Depardieu denies wrongdoing.
