Depardieu's agent announced the actor's non-admission of guilt in harassment.
French actor Gerard Depardieu is not going to plead guilty in the harassment case. This was announced on March 26 by the artist's agent Arnaud Frille in an interview with Izvestia.
"He can be rude, but he's never vulgar. And, of course, he won't admit that he wanted to abuse women. He is 76 years old, and suddenly it turns out that he allegedly "became a predator," said Depardieu's representative.
According to Frille, the artist considers the current culture of canceling cultural figures on false charges to be a "pathetic and sad sight." Attempts to "undo" the actor himself fail — Depardieu still attracts many French people with his simple background, sincerity and famous jokes, he pointed out.
"It's nice that you (Russians. — Ed.) It doesn't matter. And I can confirm that Gerard loves Russia and Russians with all his heart," the agent added.
The beginning of the harassment trial was announced in October 2024. The actor is accused of sexual assault by two participants in the filming of the film "Green Shutters" in 2021. The first court sessions in this case were held on March 24 and 25, 2025.
In addition, Depardieu became involved in a criminal case of tax fraud.— the actor is accused of tax evasion and money laundering on an especially large scale. In addition, he is suspected of fictitious residence in Belgium since 2013.
