«Like a monster but no longer truly sacred»: new embarrassing videos broadcast by Complément d'Enquete, the investigative program of French public television, reveal an unrestrained Gérard Depardieu, more uninhibited than ever in his sexist and sexual comments, even towards a little girl.
Images that date back to 2018, when the actor went to North Korea to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Pyongyang regime, alongside the writer and director, Yann Moix. Upon returning from that controversial visit to Kim Yong-Un's kingdom, Moix edited a documentary of which the France 2 broadcast broadcast some excerpts.
In the video, the same interpreter chosen to accompany the actor to North Korea is the subject of sexual advances and jokes. Visiting a riding school, he tells her that «women love riding horses, their clitoris rubs on the saddle pommel. They are great whores." Then, watching a ten-year-old girl riding a horse, he adds: "If the horse gallops, she enjoys it." Then he suggests to the interpreter that he should take up horse racing, adding that women who practice horse riding "also love... other things very much".
Depardieu thinks of nothing else. And after weighing himself on the scales, he announces to the interpreter: «124 (kg), 124 dear! And I don't even have an erection. Erect: 126! And again: «Everything here is made of wood, like my dick. I have a beam in my underwear." Then the request for a photo together to "touch the interpreter's ass".
The criticism in the press ("It makes you vomit") and in the world of entertainment for a "monster that is no longer truly sacred" was harsh. Gerard Depardieu is accused of sexual abuse by at least 16 women: since 2020 he has been investigated for rape against the actress Charlotte Arnould and was accused more recently by the actress Hélène Darras, in the context of an alleged sexual assault perpetrated in 2007, during the filming of the film Disco.
The episode of Complement d'Enquet, entitled “Gerard Depardieu: the fall of the ogre”, was seen by 1.52 million viewers.
