Just for Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon says he is a target of #MeToo movement
- On June 30, 2025, Gilbert Rozon, founder of Just for Laughs, faced cross-examination during a civil trial in Montreal where nine women sued him for sexual assault.
- Rozon denied the allegations, claiming the women formed a coalition motivated by money and the #MeToo movement, which he said caused their accusations to change over time.
- Rozon said he pleaded guilty to a 1998 sexual assault charge but was acquitted of another criminal charge, and insisted he chose to fight in court to prevent legalizing extortion.
- Rozon maintained that the plaintiffs were collaborators rather than clients who had agreed to divide any financial compensation among themselves, and insisted that the women had fabricated their version of events, suggesting that the dispute was primarily driven by monetary motives associated with the #MeToo movement.
- The trial exemplifies the challenges of sexual violence cases, with the judge tasked to evaluate witness credibility amid conflicting testimonies and allegations of financial motives behind the lawsuit.
