He denies wrongdoing and claims any relationships he has had were consensual.In an open letter published last year, he said: “Never, ever have I abused a woman.”A case brought by the French actress Hélène Darras was dropped by prosecutors last month for being past the statute of limitations. But another case of alleged rape and sexual assault against the actress Charlotte Arnould remains open. In December 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron caused controversy by claiming Depardieu was the target of a “manhunt”, adding that France’s highest honour, the Legion of Honour, should not be withdrawn from him over charges of sexual impropriety.The BBC contacted Depardieu’s agent for comment regarding the latest claims.Related TopicsFrance#MeToo campaignMore on this storyFeminists criticise Macron over defence of DepardieuPublished21 December 2023Depardieu’s obscene remarks shown in new documentaryPublished8 December 2023Top StoriesLive.
