French actor Gérard Depardieu has been at the center of controversy for several days after different allegations of rape and sexual abuse by different women were made public. Although this is not something new (rumors and accusations about the artist have been occupying headlines and television minutes for months), a few days ago a letter was published in which 56 personalities from the world of politics, cinema, acting and the music defend the actor from the accusations.
Among the different signatories of said letter is the Spanish actress Victoria Abril, who expresses her contrary opinion to the “lynching” that Depardieu has received from 13 women who have publicly defined themselves as ”victims” and who have denounced that the actor sexually assaulted or harassed them.
Although important public figures such as Carla Bruni and Jacques Dutronc also supported the actor, Victoria Abril’s positioning has started a new scandal. Lucie Lucas, protagonist of the series Clem (in which Abril played her mother) has shown her indignation at the attitude of her co-star and has written a comment on a post by Charlotte Arnould that has spread the controversy.
“OK… I have been a comedian for 15 years and I have been protecting a good part of these degenerate boomers by not saying in an interview all the damage they do to others on a set… eternally answering journalists that everything went very well on the set, that everyone is so cute and charming… while often it is totally false! How many unacceptable behaviors have I kept silent about?” Lucas wrote visibly indignant in the publication.
“I have a lot to say about some of the people on this lovely list of co-signers (…) Hi Victoria… Do you want us to talk about your numerous assaults including sexual assaults towards your partner? Come to think of it, I’m not surprised that “You have signed that torch… you are also scared (…) Enough of the crazy stuff,” the actress stated, directly attacking Victoria Abril.
The 37-year-old artist’s message has set social networks on fire in the French country and numerous national and international media have begun to echo such a serious accusation.
At the moment, the actress from The Law of Desire, Libertarian or Nobody Will Talk About Us When We’re Dead has not spoken out, so we will have to wait a little longer to know if she publicly defends herself or ignores her former partner’s message. filming.
