- There's a major scandal for director Roman Polanski
- He is accused of defamation
- HERE are the details of the case
Accusations fly and old scandals resurface in this high-profile legal battle that grips the celebrity world. Paris is buzzing with more than just fashion and romance as the City of Lights turns into a stage for a legal drama featuring none other than Roman Polanski, the legendary director known for cinematic masterpieces and a life marred by controversy.
Roman is in trouble
At 90 years young, Polanski finds himself in the hot seat once again, but this time in a Paris court over a defamation lawsuit.
Charlotte Lewis, the British talent who once dazzled on-screen, is stepping into the real-life role of plaintiff as she challenges Polanski's narrative. She claims the director assaulted her in the '80s when she was just 16, an accusation Polanski has branded a "heinous lie."
But Lewis is not backing down, ready to face the past head-on in a trial she describes as "long and traumatic."
While the courtroom drama unfolds, the main character won't be making an appearance. Polanski opts to let his legal team take the stage in his stead.
The director, a resident of Paris, remains out of sight but not out of mind as the world watches the proceedings with bated breath.
"He lied about being sexually assaulted by me," Polanski claimed in a 2019 Paris Match interview, sparking the defamation claim.
The plot thickens as disputed quotes and allegations from decades past are dredged up, painting a picture of a complex saga that has followed the director since his flight from the United States in '78.
