Cannes Bans Actor from Red Carpet Due to Assault Allegations
The Cannes Film Festival, a big movie event, told actor Theo Navarro-Mussy he couldn't walk the red carpet.
This is because he's been accused of sexual assault, and the courts haven't made a final decision yet.
Some people, including other actors, say he did something wrong and filed a complaint.
However, there wasn't enough proof, so the case was dropped for now.
The accusers plan to try again.
The festival's boss decided this to make sure everyone is safe.
It's like when the school principal keeps someone out of a party because they might have broken a rule, even if the rule-breaking hasn't been totally proven yet.
The Cannes Film Festival banned actor Theo Navarro-Mussy from the red carpet due to sexual assault allegations.
The ban was implemented for the premiere of the film 'Case 137'.
Navarro-Mussy's former partners filed a complaint, which was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
The complainants plan to file a new complaint, according to reports.
The festival's director cited the lack of a final court ruling as the reason for the ban.
