Legal battle between Giorgos Kimoulis and fellow actors continues

The legal dispute between actor-director Giorgos Kimoulis and actors Zeta Douka, Dora Chrysikou, and Nikos Psarras has continued in court. The litigation stems from allegations of workplace harassment and physical violence that arose during the Greek #MeToo movement. Specifically, Nikos Psarras testified that he witnessed Kimoulis kicking Zeta Douka during a rehearsal. In response to these claims, Kimoulis has filed a lawsuit against the three actors seeking 731,000 euros in damages for defamation.

Following the court session, the defendants expressed the emotional toll of the ongoing process, with Zeta Douka describing it as painful. The actors reaffirmed their commitment to their statements. The courtroom atmosphere remains tense as the parties involved await a judicial resolution to this high-profile conflict that has significantly impacted the Greek artistic community.

Looking ahead, further legal developments are scheduled. Zeta Douka announced that on November 11, there will be an appellate court session regarding a separate lawsuit in which Kimoulis and his witness were sentenced in the first instance to 20 months in prison and a 3,000-euro fine.
