French Actor Gérard Depardieu Guilty of Sexual Assault While on Set
French actor was found guilty in a sexual assault case. He received an 18-month suspended sentence for groping two women on a Paris film set in 2021. The 76-year-old actor, known for roles in Cyrano de Bergerac and Green Card, had initially denied the allegations.
So, here are all the details we've learned about the allegations against Depardieu and his sentence.
The Oscar-nominated actor was convicted by a Paris court for sexually assaulting two women in 2021. Now, Gérard Depardieu's sentencing includes a suspended sentence of 18 months. Additionally, his name will be added to the national sex offender registry, and he has to pay a €29,000 fine.
The judge has also ordered Depardieu to pay monetary compensation to his two victims. The Valley of Love star will pay damages of 15,000 euros ($17,000) to one of the victims. Meanwhile, he will pay €14,040 ($15,592), including any payment for medical consultation, to the other victim. Additionally, Depardieu was ordered to pay each victim €1,000 for secondary victimization. (via The New York Times)
Reports revealed that Depardieu assaulted two women, including a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant director. The incident reportedly took place during the shooting of his feature film, Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters) in Paris.
The set dresser, whom the court records refer to as Amélie, talked to the press after the verdict. She said, 'For me, this is a victory. Justice has been done.' Amélie also stood before the court and recalled how Depardieu harassed and assaulted her on the movie set. (via The Guardian)
Amélie's lawyer, Carine Durrieu Diebolt, said the incident should be a stark reminder to 'end impunity for cinema artists.' She noted, 'I've heard some actors recently still supporting Depardieu. Now with this verdict, no one can say Gérard Depardieu is not a sexual predator, and that's very important. Today, on the first day of the Cannes Film Festival, I want the cinema world to think of the victims of Gérard Depardieu and to speak of those victims.'
On the other hand, Gérard Depardieu's lawyer, Jérémie Assous, noted that he would appeal against the verdict.

More from SheKnows Gordon Ramsay's Daughter HollyAnna Reminds Everyone of Model Status in Rare Bikini Snapshots 'She's 17. She's going to a college summer program, the college that she's hoping to go to next year. She's going away this year to the college summer program,' she said. She added, 'I'm not one of these moms that feels like, 'Oh, she's leaving.' Yes, will I worry? Of course. But am I excited for her to start her life and figure out who she's gonna be? Absolutey. I'm dying to see who she's gonna be and what she's gonna do and what she'll discover.'

TikTok influencer slammed for viral video about ‘unchic' fashion
Tara Langdale talked to Fox News Digital about how she received hurtful messages from critics after a not-so-serious fashion post describing what she views as 'unchic' went viral, spawning a cascade of events that made her apolitical post a victim of attacks. The self-described stay-at-home working mom amassed some 250,000 views and found herself on the receiving end of some hate after an April 7 TikTok of her seated, drinking from a wine glass with nicely done hair, gold jewelry and manicured nails as she skimmed through a list of 'unchic' fashion sins. Advertisement Tattoos, Lululemon, baggy denim, camouflage and visible panty lines were just a few that made part one of Langdale's controversial 'unchic' list, which drew backlash from seething critics who called her out with a political twist. 'Voting for Trump is unchic,' one said. 'To her, privilege = chic. Hope this helps!' said another. A third said, 'just say you're a republican and go lmao,' while a slew of commenters took exception to her tattoo stance and ranted about classism. Advertisement The video even caught The Guardian's attention, prompting an article that coined 'chic' as 'a shorthand for a type of conservative-coded aesthetic' and spoke of the 'rigid and airbrushed' looks of Trump allies, sch as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 4 Tara Langdale received backlash for her 'unchic' fashion TikTok. @tara_langdale / TikTok Though Langdale diddles cribe herself as conservative when speaking to Fox News Digital, she insists not everything is about politics. 'When I get dressed in the morning, I'm not thinking about my political party and how I should dress to showcase that,' Langdale said. Advertisement 'I think conservativism is more of culture, religion – all of those things go into your conservativist mindset. Now, if you're talking about conservative style of dress… that's also going to be more like religion and culture,' she went on. 'Of course, if I'm going to church on Sunday, I'm dressing very conservative. I'm going to keep it classy, but if you see me in the street in my regular day-to-day, I am not at all conservative. I would never consider my style to be conservative. But am I conservative? Absolutely, so I can differentiate the two. I know that the internet has a hard time doing that.' 4 Lululemon made Langdale's controversial 'unchic' list — along with baggy denim, camouflage and visible panty lines. REUTERS 4 Tattoos were also on Langdale's list. xartproduction – Langdale addressed the politicized dogma, saying she doesn't understand why TikTok users jumped to conclusions about 'conservative' or 'Republican makeup' as they did. Advertisement 'Because I'm blonde, because I have more of a natural look about me, I'm not fully glammed all the time… I'm really not sure how that makes me appear conservative, but, again, I just think when people don't agree with what you say, they have to find a way to discredit you, and that's just an easy tactic,' she continued. At the same time, Langdale pushed back against the idea of her video implying that people too poor to afford expensive items are automatically 'unchic,' and pointed to brand-name items like athletic apparel brand Lululemon, Apple Watches and Golden Goose sneakers – all of which can be pricey – as evidence pointing to the contrary. 'Just keep in mind that money talks and wealth whispers, and I don't know any wealthy people that are wearing Gucci across their chest,' she said in her original post. Langdale explained that the TikTok trend of users showcasing 'things I find incredibly chic' grabbed her attention as they began circulating on the app. She found them 'pretentious and off-putting,' so she felt compelled to take her own stab at the video. 4 'When I get dressed in the morning, I'm not thinking about my political party and how I should dress to showcase that,' Langdale said about the political criticism she received. @tara_langdale / TikTok 'Of course, my video came off as pretentious and off-putting as well, but it felt like a certain level of cringe for me, and I don't like to personally attack anybody on social media, so I wouldn't go after a specific creator. I just kind of wanted to hop on the trend… so that was my initial, 'Why I created the video.'' Advertisement Langdale shared that her direct messages on the platform have been 'insane' with threats and comments about her family since the video went viral. 'It does make you step back and take a pause,' she shared. 'Like, is this really worth it for how crazy people react? And I would never want to put my family in danger, but I think a lot of it is just the keyboard pirates that are just back there behind their computer typing whatever they can to try to get more likes in the comments,' Langdale added.
