French actor Gérard Depardieu acknowledged Tuesday that he used crude language around a woman who accuses him of sexual assault and grabbed her hips but denied assaulting her, as he testified for the first time at his landmark trial in Paris. « I am a disgusting slob », said Depardieu. But he said he « never, ever » would have pincered a woman between his legs against her will. The woman told the court he’d behaved « like a madman » who took « pleasure in frightening me », per the AP. Day 2 of the Paris trial centered on the Oscar-nominated actor’s behavior during the filming in 2021 of Les Volets Verts, where two co-workers allege that he groped them on the set.
