3 d. ago Amber Glenn, the skater redefining what power looks like on the ice

She’s a Grand Prix champion, a triple Axel pioneer and one of figure skating’s most formidable athletes. But her artistry, not just her athleticism, may be what changes the sportWhen Amber Glenn takes the ice for the free skate on Friday night at the world figure skating championships in Boston after a disappointing short program, fans will be holding their breath. Undefeated this season, she was seen as the one to beat.

4 d. ago Woman tells court Gérard Depardieu groped her buttocks and breasts on set

Film assistant says actor groped her several times in three incidents while filming Les Volets VertsA woman accusing Gérard Depardieu of sexual assault has told a landmark trial in Paris that the actor groped her buttocks and her breasts several times in three separate incidents on a film set. Depardieu, 76, is accused of groping a 54-year-old set dresser and a 34-year-old assistant during filming in 2021 of Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters). He denies any sexual assault. The third day of the Paris trial focused on the testimony of the younger plaintiff, who said Depardieu had first groped her bottom when she was alone with him for a brief moment between the backstage area and the film set. “Out of the blue, he put his hand on my butt,” she told the court on Wednesday, adding she was in shock, “petrified” and said nothing. In a second incident, she alleged, Depardieu had suddenly put both his hands on her breasts. “I said no; I was scared,” she said. She also said she had told D...
