Six women, including Testimonials collected by “Media Part” and “Check”Edward Baer has been charged with sexual assault or harassment. The incidents they accuse the French actor allegedly take place between 2013 and 2021.
Their stories are different but there are points of convergence. They are essentially part of the professional world: these women, who were twenty years old at the time of the events, met Edward Baer in the theater or in the media. The incidents they accuse him of allegedly occurred in the toilets of Radio France, in his office, or even backstage.
The alleged victims were early in their careers, and some were trainees, according to the investigation published on Thursday. They all present the actor as a predator. Many reported forced kisses, surprise, and non-consensual touching. They also report inappropriate comments about sexual preferences or physical or telephone harassment.
“I’m so sorry”
“Media Part” and “Check” communicated before publishing the investigation, and Edward Baer defended himself in a letter addressed to the two media outlets. “I do not identify myself in the words or gestures attributed to me, but I can only express my remorse that my behavior made these women uncomfortable or hurt,” he wrote. I didn’t have the intelligence to realize that. I’m deeply sorry. I would never intentionally try to hurt them. “I apologize to them all.”
No complaints have been filed yet, but one of the women who accused the actor says she intended to submit a handrail, before backing down.
