Gérard Depardieu Facing Trial in Rome for Allegedly Punching Paparazzo
- French actor Gérard Depardieu faces a trial in Rome starting 17 June 2025 for allegedly punching Italian photographer Rino Barillari near Harry's Bar in May 2024.
- The trial comes after Depardieu was found guilty in Paris of sexually assaulting two women while filming Les Volets Verts in 2021, highlighting his continued legal issues.
- Barillari, called Italy's 'king of paparazzi,' claims Depardieu insulted him before punching caused him to fall, while Depardieu denies this, alleging Barillari pushed him first.
- Depardieu said to La Repubblica, "Barillari had pushed me," and Barillari stated he can forgive the punches but not the insult against Italians.
- The pending Rome trial could further affect Depardieu's public image and legal status as he confronts both assault allegations and new charges.
