Gérard Depardieu will not attend his trial on charges of sexual assault, related to events on the set of the film The Green Shutters in 2021, which is due to kick off in Paris on Monday afternoon. The actor has vehemently denied the rape allegations and mounting sexual assault accusations against him, even publishing an open letter in Le Figaro newspaper in October 2023, suggesting his acts had been misinterpreted. Two months after the open letter, Depardieu came under further public scrutiny following the broadcast of a bombshell edition of investigative show Complément d’Enquête, which probed these historic accusations as well as other acts of inappropriate behavior.
