One of Gérard Depardieu's main accusers, the actress Emmanuelle Debever, committed suicide in Paris by jumping into the Seine.
This was reported by the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel.
The woman was sixty years old and just twenty when she was allegedly molested by the actor during the 1982 filming of the film Danton.
Precisely on December 7, the day of the suicide, France 2 TV broadcast the investigative program Complément d'enquête, entirely dedicated to the rape accusations against the actor.
Debever had pointed the finger at Depardieu on Facebook: «Mr. Depardieu acquitted today of charges of rape and sexual assault. No comment – he wrote in a 2019 post -. In Danton I played Louison, Danton's young wife. The sacred monster indulged in many things during filming, taking advantage of the intimacy of a carriage. He stuck his big paw under my slips, saying he did it “to feel better.” I opposed it."
