Accusations against the French actor Gerard Depardieu (74) don’t stop. It has now become known that a Spanish journalist has also filed a complaint against the movie star for rape. Like, in particular, the newspaper Le Monde. Citing the AFP news agency, Ruth Baza (51) claims that Depardieu raped her in Paris almost 30 years ago. She herself says that she filed a report with the Spanish police on Thursday.

According to the prosecution, the alleged attack occurred on October 12, 1995, during an interview with Kinomaniya magazine. The complaint, which is said to have been received by the Barcelona authorities, was also reported by the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

Spanish news agency EFE also confirmed that the relevant report had been submitted to the responsible authorities. Baz, who was 23 at the time, was raped by Depardieu, who was 46 at the time, “without any consent.” She felt “paralyzed.”

Numerous accusations against Gerard Depardieu

It is reported that the incident took place on the territory of the former production company Roissy Film. Apparently, Baza initially spoke of “sexual assault,” but when officers asked if she had also been raped, she responded in the affirmative. “The police called it that,” Baza told AFP.

The base is not alone in its accusations against Depardieu. A number of allegations have been brought against Depardieu in recent years, including previous allegations of rape and sexual assault. A television documentary has also just aired in France in which he can reportedly be seen making offensive comments about women during a 2018 trip to North Korea. Depardieu denied all accusations.

“An Unprecedented Conspiracy”

“Of course, we are often shocked by Gerard’s comments,” but Depardieu is “the subject of an unprecedented conspiracy,” several members of his family, including his daughter, actress Julie Depardieu, 50, wrote in a Sunday newspaper article. Le Journal du Dimanche published the letter.

They complained of “collective anger” against the actor and said that “in private, around his children, he is an extremely modest, sensitive and even sanctimonious person.”
