In a joint investigation by Médiapart and Cheek, six women testify that they were sexually harassed and assaulted by the French actor, who has offered his “sincerest apologies”, reports Euronews.
French actor Édouard Baer has been accused by six women of sexual violence, in a joint investigation by Médiapart and Cheek.
The report, published on Thursday 23 May, states that the events took place between 2013 and 2021, largely in professional contexts.
The women who testified, half of whom are of African descent, were in their twenties at the time of the events. According to the investigation, most of these women crossed paths with the 57-year-old actor on sets or show recordings.
One young woman said she had to fight off the comedian, who tried to kiss her “on the neck and mouth” in the toilets before a show recording.
