The French public prosecutor has opened a preliminary investigation into rape and sexual assault allegations against the actor Gérard Depardieu, according to reports.

A 22-year-old female actor made a complaint to police on Monday in Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France, over an assault alleged to have occurred at Depardieu’s home in Paris’s Left Bank between 7 and 13 August.

Depardieu was given Russian citizenship in 2013 by Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, after publicly criticising France’s high taxes and taking up residence abroad.

1. If the French ever make a movie about the Cheeto regime, Depardieu should play the title role

Birds of a feather, those two.

4. He may be a decent actor

but his drunken antics off screen make me pretty sure this is a totally believable charge.

5. He's bragged for decades in interviews that he's raped women

So, I am not shocked at all by this.

6. About time, imo

Depardieu urinated on a commercial flight. Let him move to Russia with his Putin pals and fellow bed wetters.
