We hadn’t seen him since the images from Complément d’investigation. On December 7, the show broadcast a report on Gérard Depardieu, in which the actor made obscene and misogynistic comments. Walled in silence, gone to Belgium, Gérard Depardieu had remained discreet.
But in recent days, publications on the TikTok and Instagram accounts of Farid Khider, comedian, actor, boxer and friend of the actor, have suggested that he is in Dubai. Heavenly swimming pool under coconut trees, luxury cars, restaurants… Images which contradict what certain relatives had said at the start of the controversy. “I met Julie Depardieu (the actor’s daughter) one evening, we spoke at length and she told me that Gérard was very isolated, that there were a lot of things that were ready-made ideas which, unfortunately, began to gallop, until he was pilloried. That it was too much for him, and that he was a little lost,” actress Brigitte Fossey explained to Télé-Loisirs on January 26.
These images divide Internet users between those who are delighted to see the actor in such good health and those who see provocation in these images.
