The Cannes Film Festival barred French actor Theo Navarro-Mussy from attending the premiere of the competition entry Case 137, in what’s believed to be a first for the festival in the #MeToo era. Festival chief Thierry Fremaux confirmed to the French magazine Telerama that Navarro-Mussy wouldn’t be allowed to attend the red carpet premiere of Case 137 (Dossier 137 in France) on Thursday night at Cannes. He has a supporting role in the film, reports the AP. Telerama reported that Navarro-Mussy was accused of rape by three former partners in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The case was dropped last month due to lack of evidence, but Telerama reported the three woman plan to appeal.
