To France, where legendary actress Catherine Deneuve is apologizing to sexual assault victims. It comes after she signed an open letter stating the #MeToo global campaign has gone too far.
Deneuve's apology was published in a French newspaper. She said she was sorry if victims felt attacked by the open letter, which she maintains was not an endorsement of harassment.
Deneuve was one of 100 women that signed the letter last week that compares the #MeToo anti-harassment movement to a "witch hunt." Women's groups criticized the film star, saying she was trivializing sexual violence. The French public is split over Deneuve's intervention.
The #MeToo movement follows fa raft o allegations against Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein and other prominent figures.
