Gerard Depardieu

GERARD DEPARDIEAU CAN DO NO WRONG?

Can’t say we’re the least bit surprised that Green Card star Gerard Depardieu, 72, has been charged with rape, but we ARE surprised that France seems to finally be taking the case seriously. It’s been bouncing around the courts since 2018, and it is, at long last, being investigated. France has NOT embraced the #MeToo movement – in fact it has been described as “paradise for sexual predators.” Depardieu is beloved in his home country despite his entitled behavior, alcohol consumption, road rage, and drunk driving. We believe that any man who would pull out a bottle and pee into it in full view of fellow passengers on a plane (because he was told the restrooms were unavailable while plane was taking off) would probably be egotistical enough to sexually assault a 22 year old actress and think nothing of it.

IS ANYBODY SURPRISED THAT GERARD DEPARDIEU IS ACCUSED OF RAPE?

Really, it was only a matter of time before the 69 year old French actor Gerard Depardieu would cross the line. This is a man who peed in the aisle of an Air France plane in full view of passengers because the bathroom was locked for takeoff, causing a two hour delay for everyone on the flight. (Apparently drunk, he was kicked off the plane – but his sense of entitlement was memorable.) In other incidents, he punched another driver in a road rage and fell off his scooter in a drunken stupor. He’s a French guy with an attitude who happens to be a powerful movie star – OF COURSE he’s probably a sexual predator…

JACQUELINE BISSET KNOWS WHAT MADE ANNE SINCLAIR STAND BY HER MAN

Jacqueline Bisset seems perfectly cast as the wealthy elegant journalist Anne Sinclair, who was inexplicably loyal to her disgraced husband, French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Gerard Depardieu stars as DSK, whose assault on a New York hotel maid led to revelations of numerous indiscretions and his political downfall. For now the movie is being filmed at the Manhattan Criminal Court with the working title “The June Project.” Jackie seems to understand Anne’s character because the actress once said ”I’ve probably understood men too well. I realize they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of that fact.” Currently, Anne and her husband are separated and heading for divorce.

GERARD DEPARDIEU HAS NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR DOMINIQUE STRAUSS-KAHN

Gerard Depardieu and Jacqueline Bisset (whom we love) are in New York filming DSK – the story of the philandering French politician, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who violated a New York hotel maid, and this act led to a shocking collection of similar sex charges from other women. His appalling history of behavior with females destroyed his aspirations of becoming President of France. Gerard says he accepted the role because DSK is “very French, arrogant, and smug, and I don’t like him.” Jacqueline plays his American born wealthy wife Anne Sinclair, who was inexplicably supportive of her wayward husband. They have since divorced.

WEALTHY FRENCH CELEBRITIES IRATE OVER 75% INCOME TAX ARE LEAVING!

We can’t help but wonder if there will be a mass exodus of celebrities and other wealthy citizens in France because their new 75% wealth tax starts next year. Anyone earning over $1.3 million is subject to the new tax and these taxpayers are outraged. (And we thought WE had it bad here!) Iconic actor Gerard Depardieu loudly attacked the government for the new tax and announced he is moving to Belgium. He was heavily criticized by politicians and the media. Karl Lagerfeld also voiced his anger and we can imagine many in the fashion industry are also upset. Alain Delon and Johnny Hallyday successfully relocated out of the country under the radar.

GERARD DEPARDIEU NO LONGER HAS THE OOH LA LA FACTOR

Former French ladies man Gerard Depardieu, 63, was arrested in Paris for falling off his scooter in a drunken stupor. We’ve always been a fan and it’s alarming how he seems to be neglecting his health. He was also arrested a few months ago for punching another driver after a scooter collision. Of course, last year he was nabbed on Air France for peeing in the aisle when he wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom during take-off. This former leading man has indulged himself into playing character roles.

ANDERSON COOPER’S LAUGHING FIT IS HILARIOUS – AND REFRESHING

What’s the big deal with Anderson Cooper’s laughing fit? We saw this video of him trying to deliver the story about Gerard Depardieu peeing on the floor of an airplane and his own copywriter’s puns completely cracked Anderson up on the air. We found his helpless giggling absolutely charming (UNLIKE Depardieu’s revolting behavior) and we just had to laugh along with him. Yet people are criticizing Anderson for being “unprofessional” or worse “giggling like a schoolgirl.” It reminds us that for years women have suffered in silence while men insult each other by comparing each other to a woman or calling each other feminine. As if a female comparison is the most horrible insult one can hurl. Gays have made it socially incorrect to use them as unfavorable comparisons – how about including the female sex in that? Anderson Cooper was not giggling like a girl – he was laughing like anyone else might under the circumstances.
