Several of the 60 personalities who signed a petition in support of French actor Gerard Depardieu, accused of rape and sexual harassment, have now distanced themselves from the move. Since then, three anti-Depardieu petitions signed by thousands of artists and celebrities have emerged.
On Monday, actor and director Jacques Weber became the latest French celebrity to distance himself from an open letter entitled "Don't erase Gerard Depardieu," published on Christmas Day in daily newspaper Le Figaro.
