The woman is said to have worked with the 74-year-old actor on a film set at the time. Depardieu is said to have first made “vulgar” comments about her body and later showed his penis. “I left the room as quickly as I could, but he caught me in the hallway and pressed me against the wall,” says the woman, who then managed to free herself and locked herself in another room. She says she has not filed a report.
Depardieu did not want to comment on the story, according to France Inter. The actor has denied previous allegations of sexual misconduct.
In April, thirteen women told the French news site Médiapart that they had been assaulted by the actor. There is also a case of actress Charlotte Arnould.
