The Depardieu storm will leave its mark. According to a YouGov study for The HuffPost, 62% of those interviewed intend to continue watching films with Gérard Depardieu. Conversely, 23% said they would stop watching it and 15% said they didn’t know.
Gérard Depardieu’s cinematic future has become more than uncertain after the airing of a “Complément d’investigation” report on December 7th. We see the actor making misogynistic and degrading comments, particularly towards a little girl. Targeted by three reports of sexual assault, he is currently indicted since 2020 for rape. Thirteen women – actresses, make-up artists and technicians – also testified to Médiapart in April 2023 and accused Depardieu of sexual assault.
Presidential Remarks and Legion of Honor
The President of the Republic spoke on the set C for you on December 20th and defended the artist who was the victim of “a manhunt” which, according to him, ” makes France proud “. Comments that caused a stir and were the inspiration for the publication of several indignant articles. An indignation shared by the majority of French people: 59% of those interviewed in the HuffPost survey said they did not agree with the remarks by Emmanuel Macron on the topic.

On December 15, former Culture Minister Rima Abdul-Malak announced the opening of disciplinary proceedings aimed at withdrawing his Legion of Honor from the actor who received it from the hands of Jacques Chirac in 1996. Emmanuel Macron estimated that this honorary decoration “it was not a moral order » and that taking it away from him would be unfair. French reactions on this issue are mixed. 30% of those interviewed would like it to be removed, 20% do not want it, 35% have no opinion on the issue.
