Julien Lepers was forced to stop presenting the flagship program of France 3 in January 2016. He claimed 3.4 million euros from the producer of the show, FremantleMedia.
The Court of Appeal of Paris rejected almost all of his requests. He must thus be satisfied with the approximately 800,000 euros in compensation that had been granted to him at first instance in 2020 by the Labour Court and were provided for in his employment contract. The presenter had decided to seize the prud'hommes, believing to have been dismissed because of his age.
