Yvan Attal explained the reasons for his participation. He also spoke behind the scenes. The actor explains that he has been contacted. “[Quand] This petition is read to me, I find it abominable. It’s the truth,” says the actor. “JI find it to be upside down“, he continues.
Gérard Depardieu is indicted for rape and also targeted by three complaints of sexual assault or rape. In What an era!Yvan Attal claims he was “mad for lynching” the 75-year-old actor. “It is not because he is a sacred monster of cinema that he cannot benefit from justice like an ordinary citizen like everyone else. (…) The presumption of innocence exists“, recalled the film’s director The Brio.

Yvan Attal did not withdraw his signature
Disagreeing with the words used in this petition, Yvan Attal recalls that he was also the only person to ask for a change to the text. But according to him, the author of the column “did not want to rewrite what the director suggested him to rewrite.” However, “exasperated” by this “lynching”, the actor finally agreed to participate. “I don’t know what came over me, I said yes“, he declares.
The release of this forum was the subject of great controversy. Several personalities, such as Pierre Richard, Caroline Bouquet and Jacques Weber, chose to back down. “I didn’t realize how problematic this text was.“, indicates Yvan Attal.
“When I saw that I had hurt people (…) I wanted to explain myself“, confides the director, who was present on the set of BFMTV at the time of the controversy. However, he decided to keep his signature on this text. “I didn’t retire because I explained myself above all“, he assures.
“I am not Gérard Depardieu’s lawyer. I do not know him. I don’t talk to him. I don’t have his cell phone“, revealed Yvan Attal on the set of the channel’s second program.
