Edwy Plenel, the editor-in-chief of the magazine Mediapart, is suing the French actor and director Maiwenn, whose latest movie, Jeanne du Barry, starring Johnny Depp, is going to be shown for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival.

On March 7, Plenel went to the police and said that Maiween was being mean. After hearing about it in local news, Variety checked with the Paris prosecutor’s office to make sure it was true.

In the complaint, Plenel says that Maiwenn attacked him in late February while he was eating at a restaurant in Paris’s upscale 7th arrondissement.

The police complaint, as reported by AFP, states that Maiwenn, who had been dining alone at a nearby table, approached Plenel’s and “grabbed him by the hair” before spitting in his face and running out of the restaurant. Plenel was left “traumatized by the incident.”

The month-old police report was leaked on Friday, just one day after the Cannes Film Festival announced that Maiwenn’s film would open its 76th edition.

Mediapart has never looked into Maiwenn, but it has written a series of shocking stories about her ex-husband, Luc Besson, with whom she has a daughter named Shanna Besson.

Both French actress Adele Haenel, who claimed director Christophe Ruggia harassed her when she was a minor, and Belgian-Dutch actor Sand Van Roy, who accused Besson of sexual assault (the case was eventually dropped), gave their first testimonies to Mediapart.

Maiwenn, who has said in interviews in the past that she didn’t support the #MeToo movement, gave Depp the role of French king Louis XV in Jeanne du Barry while he was in court fighting his ex-wife Amber Heard.
