A police complaint alleges the ‘Jeanne du Barry’ director, who also stars alongside Johnny Depp in the film, assaulted a journalist at a restaurant in Paris, Variety reports
that the French director used aggression against him while eating at a restaurant in Paris in February.
According to Plenel, Maïwenn approached him at the restaurant and spit in his face after grabbing him by the hair. The news outlet AFP quoted the police complaint in saying Plenel found himself “traumatized by the incident.” Maïwenn allegedly left the scene without speaking a word to Plenel following the assault.
The police report was filed a month ago, but leaked on Friday. Mediapart, under Plenel’s direction, has not explicitly investigated Maïwenn. It did, however, publish the first testimony of Belgian-Dutch actor Sand Van Roy accusing Maïwenn’s ex-husband director Luc Besso of sexual assault — the case was later dropped.
