Gérard Depardieu found guilty in sexual assault trial
“Claude Vincent, representing one of the two women plaintiffs, described Depardieu as a “misogynist” and a “case-study in sexism”.
But for the defence, Jérémie Assous demanded an acquittal and called the plaintiffs’ team “more militants than lawyers”.
“They cannot bear that there should even be a defence. They think any defence is a supplementary assault,” he told the court.
The first plaintiff – a set decorator called Amélie – told the court that after a minor argument with Depardieu, he caught her between his legs and held her by the hips.
The second woman – an assistant director called Sarah – said the actor touched her buttocks and breasts through her clothes on three separate occasions.
Depardieu denied the allegations, saying only that he might have touched the women accidentally or to keep his balance.
At the end of the hearings, Depardieu said: “My name has been dragged through the mud by lies and insults.
“A trial can be a very special experience for an actor. Seeing all this anger, the police, the press. It’s like being in a science fiction film, except it’s not science fiction. It’s life.”
At least it’s good to see Depardieu remaining defiant. Although he ‘only’ received a suspended sentence, the real punishment is not just the stress of the trial and the harm to his reputation and career, but the fact that he now has to register as an ‘untermensch’.
It’s also refreshing to see a couple of women defending him, particularly Brigitte Bardot, who truly is an outlier among her sex. If only there were more like her.
“Another veteran French actress took Depardieu’s side on Monday. In a rare interview with French television, Brigitte Bardot, 90, deplored how “talented people who touch the buttocks of a girl are consigned to the deepest dungeon.””
“Feminism isn’t my thing,” Bardot said. “Personally, I like men.”
Indeed I remember Bardot calling the MeToo women “ridiculous”.
A similar case as Depardieu’s is that of Nicolas Bedos, a less well-know actor and comedian:

France has become even more of a feminist shitehole than the UK, in many ways.
On the face of it, I can’t help noticing that the more feminist a society is in Europe, the more Muslims it has. I’m sure there is a correlation. Spain only turned feminazi when it started to get overrun with Muslim immigrants. One obvious connection is that sexual assault and rape inevitably goes up massively, and feminists then have an excuse to bring in more laws and claim ‘rape culture’ (invariably blaming white men when the problem is recent Third World immigrants that they encouraged in).
Eastern Europe is still relatively free from feminist anti-sex hysteria, as well as having almost zero Muslims. I’m not even sure if they would have changed their laws much if they hadn’t had to because of the EU.
However, it doesn’t explain South Korea or Japan. And Norway doesn’t seem to have as much of an immigration problem as Sweden and yet is almost as bad (and doesn’t even have the excuse of being in the EU).
An interesting video from CityCrusher on Christianity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKQwuBvxZtw
Argues that the church is ruled by women and makes some good points as to why Christianity is so attractive to women, although it’s left to one of his commentators to spell out the obvious:
“Women want religions because they’re the most restrictive of male sexuality and ‘the vibes’ are very female”
