Actor Thierry Samitier was taken into custody in Paris on Tuesday morning. He is accused of harassment and sexual assault.

An actress with whom he co-starred in the play "Boeing Boeing", performed in Paris between 2018 and 2019, filed a complaint against him in April 2022. In 2019 already, in an article in Mediapart, two of the four actresses of the cast had denounced the behavior of the popular actor, who had become known to the general public in 1999 in the show "Nulle Part Ailleurs"
