French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken out against what he calls a "witch-hunt" targeting actor Gérard Depardieu, who is facing allegations of rape and sexual assault. Macron's comments come as Depardieu, a prominent figure in French cinema, faces a new investigation into allegations made by an actress in 2018. The actor has denied all accusations against him. Macron's defense of Depardieu has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it undermines the #MeToo movement and sends a message that powerful men can escape accountability.
