flag Gérard Depardieu sues France Télévisions over a 2023 doc showing him making sexual remarks to a young girl, which he denies, claiming misleading editing.

flag French actor Gérard Depardieu is suing a broadcaster over a 2023 documentary that showed him making sexual comments about a young girl during a North Korea trip, which he denies, claiming the footage was misleadingly edited from a fictional film shoot. flag France Télévisions maintains the clip accurately reflects his remarks to the child, citing expert testimony. flag A separate expert report in his rape case also noted suggestive remarks toward a minor, prompting a judicial order for a new video editing review. flag Depardieu, already convicted of sexual assault and facing a rape trial, denies all allegations, with around 20 women accusing him of misconduct—most cases dismissed due to statute limits. flag The broadcast sparked national debate, with former culture minister Rima Abdul-Malak condemning his behavior as shameful, while President Emmanuel Macron called the scrutiny a "manhunt" against a cultural icon.
