French director Maïwenn has been fined $435 (€400) for assaulting a leading French journalist in the lead-up to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, according to French media reports.

The charges relate to an incident last March when the actress-director came across Edwy Plenel, co-founder and editor-in-chief of investigative news website online Mediapart, in a Paris restaurant.

Eyewitnesses said she approached Plenel while he was lunching with his lawyer, pulled back his head by his hair and then spat in his face.

Restaurant staff identified her as the attacker. The investigative journalist filed a police complaint against Maïwenn for assault shortly after.
