While stalking doesn't technically occur, The Duke's obsession with Satine more than borders on something that could trigger a victim of stalking.

The Duke is essentially possessive towards Satine, including writing into the contract that she belongs to him, forcing her to spend time with him and not her lover, altering the play so that his stand-in wins, and attempting to assault her sexually. The climax may also be triggering, as Christian, believing Satine doesn't love him, tries to pay for her time and slut-shames her on stage in front of an audience. While they reconcile shortly after, it may still be upsetting.

SPOILER Satine has to lie to the main character and gaslight him into believing she doesn’t love him to protect him from being killed. Also there are a couple scenes of dialogue / arguments around essentially “courtesans are paid to make you happy, how do you know they really love you/ aren’t lying to you” kind of thing

when christian meets satine in her room for the first time, she incorrectly thinks hes there to have sex with her and tries to initiate, which is played for laughs. the joke is more about the miscommunication and what happens isnt really framed as assault, but its visually similar enough that it would probably still be triggering.

A protagonist is shown wearing a very tightly drawn corset in several scenes, causing her to slightly struggle to breathe. The same character is revealed to suffer from tuberculosis, which affects her breathing as well.

It’s not explicit, but there’s one scene where satine says she “can’t” fall in love (as in her not falling in love is dependent on her having a job) and Christian reacts by saying how not falling in love is a bad way to live (paraphrasing)

A fair amount. They work at a theater that has a lot of can can girls, often scantily clad and dancing. The female lead is meant to sleep with someone against her will. She’s seen in lingerie several times. A man and woman make out and have sex (not shown on screen). A man tries to r*pe a woman.
