Samuel Theis has been accused of rape by a crew member who worked on his upcoming movie Je te jure, which he directed.
The 45-year-old actor and filmmaker is best known for his performance in the new movie Anatomy of a Fall, which just won two awards at the Golden Globes. Samuel plays the husband of Sandra Huller‘s character in the movie.
French newspaper Liberation reported that a male crew member accused Samuel of rape during a cast and crew party that took place at an apartment halfway through the shoot of Je te jure.
The anonymous crew member says that he stayed at the apartment as he was inebriated and he claims that Samuel raped him in the early morning hours. Samuel claims that the encounter was consensual.
