Depardieu has been accused of groping a 34-year-old assistant and 54-year-old set dresser while they were filming the 2024 movie Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters).
When he took the stand on Tuesday, March 25, the actor stated he could “understand” why his accusers were “upset” over his actions.
He said: “I understand perfectly if she’s a bit upset. I don’t have to talk like that, get angry like that, voilà.”

While the Count of Monte Cristo star acknowledged using inappropriate language, he insisted, “I don’t touch women’s butts.”
He further claimed his actions were a “type of aggression” but “certainly not sexual,” before shouting, “Non!” in court.
Later in his hour-long testimony, he told the court: “I don’t see why I’d want to grope a woman.
“I’m not someone who rubs himself against others on the subway.”

On the day he allegedly assaulted the set dresser, Depardieu recalled being in a “bad mood” because it was hot and he was uncomfortable due to his weight.
He claimed he became enraged while arguing over a painting, but when the set dresser took the stand, she claimed the actor inappropriately touched her as she attempted to move past him in a narrow hallway.
