French film producer Juliette Favreul Renaud, a former committee member of France’s Collectif 50/50 gender equality group, was acquitted by a Paris court on Tuesday of charges of sexually assaulting an actress.
Nadège Beausson-Diagne (Plus Belle La Vie) accused Favreul Renaud of trying to touch her intimately under her skirt while drunk during a dinner party organized on the fringes of a Collectif 50/50 board meeting in March 2022.
There were no witnesses to Beausson-Diagne’s accusation but other guests at the dinner reported seeing the actress in a state of shock.

When the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke two years ago, the news was mostly met in France with a Gallic shrug. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve even denounced the #MeToo movement as creating a “totalitarian” environment. But bombshell accusations this month from actors Adèle Haenel and Valentine Monnier may finally have turned the tide in the local film industry.
Following the Nov. 4 publication of an investigation by news website Mediapart, in which Haenel accused director Christophe Ruggia of having sexually harassed her for years from the time she was 12, French stars such as Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Adjani and Jean Dujardin, as well as institutions such as UniFrance and the directors’ guild Srf, have spoken out in support of Haenel and, to a larger extent, all victims of alleged sexual abuse in the movie business. Ruggia was swiftly booted from the Srf, and is now being investigated by the Paris prosecutor.

PARIS -- The sales team of French film group Wild Bunch is relocating from Paris to the Spanish port city of Barcelona, sales chief Vincent Maraval said in an interview Monday. Maraval and his three sales and co-production colleagues, Carole Baraton, Gael Nouaille and Juliette Renaud, will make the move, but other staff at the Wild Bunch label and its parent company, Exception, will remain in Paris. "It's a question of better quality of life," Maraval said. "On top of that, we no longer need to be in Paris," he added, citing the dearth of marketable film scripts that come through Wild Bunch's doors from Gallic producers.
