Sexual abuse allegations

In January and February 2024, El País published allegations by six women accusing Vermut of sexual abuse from 2012 to 2024.{{cite news|last1=Belinchón|first1=Gregorio|last2=Marcos|first2=Ana|last3=Reina|first3=Elena|date=27 January 2024|url=https://english.elpais.com/culture/2024-01-27/three-women-accuse-spanish-film-director-of-sexual-violence.html|title=Three women accuse Spanish film director of sexual violence|work=El País|access-date=11 May 2024}}{{cite news|last1=Reina|first1=Elena|last2=Marcos|first2=Ana|last3=Belinchón|first3=Gregorio|date=27 February 2024|url=https://elpais.com/cultura/2024-02-27/tres-mujeres-mas-acusan-al-cineasta-carlos-vermut-de-violencia-sexual.html|title=Tres mujeres más acusan al cineasta Carlos Vermut de violencia sexual|work=El País|language=es|access-date=11 May 2024}} In September 2024, Vermut issued a statement through his legal representative denying ever engaging in non-consensual sexual practice, emphasising that no official investigation had been conducted against him to date, and stating that he was not made aware of the details of the allegations when El País contacted him, and that it misrepresented his response as though he was. The statement indicated that Vermut and his lawyer were deliberating legal action against El País.{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.es/play/cine/noticias/carlos-vermut-rompe-silencio-tras-acusaciones-violencia-20240917195137-nt.html|title=Carlos Vermut rompe su silencio tras las acusaciones de violencia sexual y amenaza con acciones legales|work=ABC|language=es|date=17 September 2024|access-date=18 September 2024}}
