Variety reported in January 2023 that director Samuel Theis was ousted from the shoot after being accused of rape by a crew member. The alleged sexual assault took place halfway through the shoot, in the aftermath of a party held at an apartment with the cast and crew on July 1, 2023 according to the French newspaper Liberation. The crew member spent the night in the flat where the party was held due to his state of inebriation and alleged he was raped by Theis in the early morning hours. The filmmaker, meanwhile, argued that it was consensual, according to Liberation. For the remainder of production, Theis remained on location but directed the film remotely.
