Cannes Film Festival: Dossier 137 actor Theo Navarro-Mussy, accused of sexual assault, banned from red carpet premiere
Navarro-Mussy was expected to appear Thursday (May 15) evening alongside the cast and crew of Dominik Moll's Dossier 137, a Palme d'Or contender that follows a police investigation into alleged brutality. However, Festival Delegate General Thierry Frémaux intervened after learning of official complaints lodged against the actor by three women, involving accusations of rape and both physical and psychological abuse between 2018 and 2020.
Although the case was dismissed in April 2025, the plaintiffs have announced their intention to appeal as civil parties, meaning legal proceedings are still ongoing. Speaking to Télérama, the publication that first broke the story, Frémaux said, 'Because there is an appeal and therefore a continuation of the investigation, the case is not suspended.'
The decision marks a rare move from Cannes, which has not previously formalised its stance on participants facing allegations of sexual misconduct. Frémaux appears to have drawn on the precedent set by France's César Academy, whose guidelines prohibit individuals under investigation for violent offences from attending or receiving honours until legal outcomes are finalised.
A festival spokesperson confirmed the accuracy of the Télérama report, reinforcing Cannes' decision to distance itself from figures facing unresolved allegations.
Dossier 137, starring Léa Drucker, premiered at Cannes on May 15 and is slated for French theatrical release on November 19, 2025.
The film is written and directed by Dominik Moll.

Evander Kane's fiancee Mara Teigen recalls nightmare last minute dress hunt at Leon Draisaitl wedding in France
Evander Kane's fiancee Mara Teigen recalls nightmare last minute dress hunt at Leon Draisaitl wedding in France (Image via Getty) Evander Kane's fiancee, Mara Teigen, had a big wardrobe problem on August 2, 2025. They were in Provence, France, for NHL star Leon Draisaitl's wedding at Domaine de Manville. Just hours before the welcome party, Teigen's clothes bag went missing when they landed in Marseille. Only her bag with shoes, pajamas, and toiletries arrived. That left her and Evander scrambling to find something to wear in a hurry. She called it a 'nightmare' and had to wear whatever was available. Mara Teigen recalls the wardrobe mishap in detail Mara Teigen said she had planned her outfits for their long Europe trip for months. She shared that they had stopped in Paris, Croatia, and Montenegro before heading to Provence. But when they arrived in Marseille just before the wedding, only one of her two bags landed. 'My bag wasn't there,' she said, very upset at how hard that felt. With no time to waste, Teigen and Evander Kane dashed to the closest outlet mall. She found a dress, but said it was 'nothing close' to what she had picked out . 'It was literally the only dress and I just had to wear it,' she explained. Teigen added, 'I'm just too independent and like my own stuff. So, it was a nightmare.' She held on to hope that her clothes would catch up soon, but they never did. Then, in a small boutique in a nearby French town, she found a beautiful Zimmerman dress that fit her and was fitting for a black-tie wedding. 'It happened to be my size. Happened to be beautiful,' she said, relieved at the happy ending.

This story comes just days after Evander Kane and Mara Teigen attended the wedding of Leon Draisaitl and Celeste Desjardins at the lovely Domaine de Manville in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.
