Cyril Hanouna's attacks do not make TF1 and M6 laugh at all

Death threats, once again… This is what Arthur received the day after a parody broadcast in “Touche pas à mon poste” on C8, Monday January 4.

In this sequence, we discovered Cyril Hanouna, dressed up as Ara Aprikian, boss of the TF1 group's programs, ordering the assassination of the producer of "District Z", with a bullet in the back, following the bad audiences of his program. , whose similarities with "Fort Boyard" had also been noted.

This parody, the columnist of "TPMP" Geraldine Maillet saw in it a nod to the "Professional", with Jean-Paul Belmondo.

But at TF1, we saw red.

Keep silent so as not to give importance to this sketch or bang your fist on the table once and for all?

Faced with what it considers to be the sequence too many, that some internally even consider to be an incitement to murder, the front page has decided to respond, while recalling being "very attached to the right to parody and criticism".

"The problem with Hanouna is that he thinks he's a guy"

"We refuse that our employees or employees are the object of insults, threats or victims of harassment", replied TF1.

The channel adds: “It is high time that the repeated warnings and sanctions, in particular from the CSA and the justice system, led to a change in Cyril Hanouna's behavior.

"

Before releasing a last cartridge: “We hope that the Endemol / Banijay group of which Cyril Hanouna is a member and of which he is a director, as well as the C8 channel, invite him to stop these acts of characterized harassment.

The word returns.

Because beyond the parody, it is the repetition of the attacks of which Arthur is the target via Hanouna or one of his chroniclers, which made jump the One.

And he's not the only one getting hit.

We can cite Christophe Beaugrand, Yann Barthès, Michel Cymes, Laurence Boccolini, Camille Combal, Jean-Luc Lemoine, Nikos Aliagas, Jarry, Karine Le Marchand, Bruno Guillon.

“On Bruno, it was very violent…” confides those around him.

Some have poured it out on Stéphane Courbit, the big boss of Banijay.

But none wished to speak publicly for fear of "putting a piece back into the infernal machine".

“In the long run, it's exhausting, blows a TV personality.

Especially when it's gratuitous nastiness.

"" The problem with Hanouna is that he takes himself for a guy, slips another.

And it's worse off the air.

One day, it will be one slip too many.

"

They denounce harassment and unfair competition

Only the darling doctor of the TV speaks with his face uncovered: "Critics vis-à-vis my shows, no worries, ensures Cymes.

But I do not accept insults.

Like when Hanouna says

Take your stethoscope and put it where I think

… ”Some are considering joining together to take legal action.

Reason?

Harassment, denigration and unfair competition.

“Today, at least half of TF1 hosts have been victims of harassment from TPMP”, is annoyed in the corridors of the first channel.

The management had already publicly reacted in the fall of 2018 following the dissemination of naked photos of Karine Ferri in "Touche pas à mon poste", by entering the CSA, which imposed a fine of 10,000 euros on C8.

In a press release, the front page had also denounced "a systematic campaign of denigration" of its host and assured that "a red line had been crossed".

"TPMP" down on C8: why they are no longer all Hanouna babes

At C8, we defend Hanouna, the goose that lays the golden eggs of the chain.

“Touche pas à mon poste talks about the media, including satirical and parodic ways.

There was a long debate on District Z with extremely mixed opinions and a humorous sequence ”, summarizes Franck Appietto, CEO of C8.

For the leader, who "discusses freely" with his host, no personality or channel is specifically targeted, citing recent examples of "France has an incredible talent" on M 6, "Boyard Land" on France 2 or even the TV movie "The White Horse" on C8, described as "shit".

“As a broadcaster, I can hear the position of my colleagues, but there is neither harassment nor harassment against TF1.

All this does not deserve so much seriousness.

I am surprised that it is so badly lived!

», Says the boss.

"Very good relations with Delphine Ernotte" and Nicolas de Tavernost

At TF1, these speeches are no longer laughing at all.

"We are strongly advised not to go to the Hanouna plateau," reports a face from the front page.

France Télévisions continues to respond to invitations "in order to calm things down".

"All these attacks, it becomes tiring," annoys a public service executive.

"In Cyril Hanouna's entourage, however, we highlight his" very good relations with Delphine Ernotte ", boss of the group.

Ditto with Nicolas de Tavernost, the big boss of M6.

After an unfortunate experience with Bernard de la Villardière, the Six also continued to send a few stars to the houses.

Until a new incident, a month ago.

While a candidate from "France has an incredible talent" is on the stage, the columnist Jean-Michel Maire attacks Karine Le Marchand, saying that she went to a cosmetic surgery clinic and has refused to pay, believing that the proposed discount was not at the level of his celebrity.

In the process, the host replied on Instagram with an email from said clinic denying all the comments.

And M6 announces in a press release no longer authorizing its stars to go to "Don't touch my post".

"Shall we make the bet?"

laughs a manager of the Canal + group, to which C8 belongs.

We will see in a while if they have not changed their mind.
