Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Samuel Theis, who played the husband of Sandra Hüller’s character in Justine Triet’s Golden Globe-winning film “Anatomy of a Fall,” was ousted from the shoot of his third directorial outing, “Je te jure,” after being accused of rape by a crew member, Variety has confirmed.
For the remainder of production, Theis remained on location but directed the film remotely. The alleged sexual assault took place halfway through the shoot, in the aftermath of a party held at an apartment with the cast and crew on July 1, according to the French newspaper Liberation.
The crew member spent the night in the flat where the party was held due to his state of inebriation and alleged he was raped by Theis in the early morning hours.
The filmmaker, meanwhile, has argued that it was consensual, according to Liberation. Shortly after, the crew member decided to leave the shoot. “Je te jure” producer Caroline Bonmarchand told Variety that after learning of the alleged incident, she tapped a third-party organization to conduct an internal investigation within the cast and crew.
