In the midst of controversy over new testimonies that place French actor Gérard Depardieu at the center of the target for alleged rapes, more than 50 personalities from different disciplines have wanted to support the interpreter in the face of what they consider a media "lynching" against him.
Among them is the Spanish Victoria Abril, who has signed the public manifesto in favor of Depardieu. This has meant that one of her companions in various fictions, actress Lucie Lucas, published an incendiary comment on social networks accusing Abril of sexual assault.
"Victoria, do you want us to talk about your numerous attacks, including sexual attacks on your partner? Now that I think about it, I'm not surprised that you signed that torch," Lucas wrote in a publication by Charlotte Arnould, one of Depardieu's accusers.
The barrage of reactions to the words of the French actress, including Victoria Abril herself, has led her to qualify her words in what is her first public intervention since the outbreak of the controversy. She has done it on the France Info network, and her testimony has been echoed, in Spain, by the Antena 3 program Y Ahora Sonsoles.
Lucie Lucas has begun trying to remove Victoria from the focus of her complaint. "She is not the one I want to accuse; I had this kind of torrent of blood. Maybe I allowed it, because she is my 'movie mother' and I felt deeply betrayed and abandoned," she declared in the images collected by the Sonsoles Ónega program. .
"What I would like to denounce is that there is a feeling of total impunity among some people, in particular among people of the generation of Gérard Depardieu and Victoria Abril, who allow themselves to tyrannize entire groups and behave in ways that are not admissible, or even illegal," Lucas assured about the meaning of his words.
