💨 Abstract

Actor Gérard Depardieu was convicted in Paris for sexually assaulting two women on a film set in 2021, receiving an 18-month suspended prison sentence. Depardieu denied the allegations and plans to appeal. The case spotlighted the #MeToo movement's slower uptake in France, with personal accounts of assault and differing generational views on sexism among French actresses.
