Anonymous actress accuses Luc Besson of sexual assault
Variety reports that an anonymous actress has accused director Luc Besson of committing a “violent sexual assault” against her. The actress—who’s asked that her name not be revealed to the press—has apparently worked with the Valerian and Lucy director on at least two occasions. Earlier today, Variety confirmed with the woman that she’d filed a complaint with French police about the incident, which allegedly took place on May 10. Police have declined to comment, while Besson’s camp has already issued a statement on the accusations, saying that the director “categorically denied all the accusations made against him.”
