Episode 173: #MeToo Comes for Gérard Depardieu

Morning Meeting

This week, Alessandra Stanley looks at how Vladimir Putin punishes women in order to crush dissent. Then, speaking of bad behavior by prominent men, Alexandra Marshall joins us from France to tell us why #MeToo allegations have finally caught up with the country’s most decorated miscreant, Gérard Depardieu. And continuing on the subject of miscreants, Patrick Kidd joins us from London with the crazy story of a woman known as “Baroness Bra.” She made millions when she created the Ultimo padded bra. Now the government is suing her for millions. Finally, Corby Kummer has the bittersweet story of the decline and possible fall of New York City’s last great temple to classic French dining, La Grenouille.
