The Spin

Narrative A

The French film industry has been too slow to address sexual misconduct, particularly when involving influential figures, allowing actors like Depardieu to act without fear of consequences. A conviction would convey that such behavior is no longer acceptable.

Narrative B

The allegations against Depardieu are unfounded and lack any direct witnesses. This situation represents an unjust media campaign against a legendary actor who has already been deemed guilty in the court of public opinion.
