According to sources, Depardieu is currently being questioned regarding incidents in 2014 and 2021.

Another woman claims she was assaulted during the filming of “Le Magician et les Siamois” in 2014.
Despite vehemently denying the accusations, Depardieu’s legal troubles continue to mount. His lawyer, Carine Durrieu-Diebolt, asserts that evidence suggests sexual assault, harassment, and abuse.
Additionally, Charlotte Arnould, another woman represented by Durrieu-Diebolt, has accused Depardieu of rape and sexual assault.
Despite the allegations, Depardieu remains defiant, insisting that he is neither a rapist nor a predator. However, as the investigation unfolds, the French cinema legend’s reputation hangs in the balance.
