Gerard Depardieu has confessed in court to grabbing Amelie K by the hips during a film shoot, amid allegations of sexual assault against him. While asserting that his actions did not constitute assault, he acknowledged the physical contact but claimed his mood and fatigue influenced his behavior. In contrast, Amelie K recounts feeling terrified during the incident, describing explicit comments and unwanted touching. This case marks Depardieu's first trial concerning the growing number of sexual abuse claims against him, which he has consistently denied.
I grabbed her hips, admitting to physical contact with set decorator Amelie K for the first time and saying I had not told police about it when being interrogated.
The plaintiff, Amelie K, claimed he had touched her all over her body, making explicit sexual comments during the assault, which occurred in a terrifying manner.
I was so upset by her, by the heat, it was a Friday towards the end of shooting, I was very tired.
I don't see why I would grope a woman, adding that he was so overweight at the time that some of what he is accused of would have been impossible.
