French director Maïwenn has been fined $435 (€400) for assaulting a leading French journalist in the lead-up to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, according to French media reports.
The charges relate to an incident last March when the actress-director came across Edwy Plenel, co-founder and editor-in-chief of investigative news website online Mediapart, in a Paris restaurant.
