A new accusation against the sports consultant Pierre Ménès, in full turmoil after the revelations that accompanied the broadcast of the documentary by Marie Portolano "I am not a slut, I am a journalist".
Guest of Culture Media on Europe 1 on the occasion of the launch of season 2 of the Hippocrate series on Canal +, the actress Alice Belaïdi assured this Monday that she was the victim of sexist and racist remarks on the part of the journalist.
"Like most girls I have already been attacked by men and I did not know how to defend myself because I was afraid", she explained, before specifying: "I too have been the victim of comments like "dirty bougnoule" or "bitch" on the part of Pierre Ménès.
So I tell myself that fortunately the floor is free, and now these people are falling, because that is enough.
"
The actress explained that she responded to the sports consultant after these attacks.
“I answered him with a valve that came straight out of the box.
I got down to his level and asked him if he only hung out with fat people since I was Arab but I didn't hang out with Arabs.
I played basic grossophobia and he took it very badly that I have repartee and that I answer him, ”she explained.
Regarding the use of the word “slut”, which comes up in Marie Portolano's documentary, the actress added this: “I think that was her word.
It must represent for him the look he had on women.
But it is serious and it is important to talk about it.
So I find it very courageous that all these girls in the middle finally dare to take the microphone to talk about all this, because it was essential.
"
Pierre Ménès, aged 57, has since been suspended by the management of the Canal Football Club until further notice, pending an "in-depth analysis" to rule on his case.
