You tempt me every morning … I like your look
”.
Jean-Jacques Bourdin did not respond to Mediapart, which says it asked for all the testimonies.
Journalist Sidonie Bonnec, host on France 2 and France Bleu, also testifies in Mediapart.
A young journalist wishing to do radio, she was invited to a festival in Calvi by Jean-Jacques Bourdin in 2010. The host, according to the words of the young woman, assured her that she would be staying at a hotel.
But before leaving, he would have called to tell him that the hotel is full and that by "
lucky
", he "
has a villa with a friend
".
He reportedly added: "
There is a swimming pool, don't forget your bathing suit
".
"
This sentence cut my legs off
," she told Mediapart, "
it was no longer professional at all
".
Arrived at the airport with her companion, she recounts having seen Jean-Jacques Bourdin who would have been content to send them a greeting “
from afar
”.
“
After that, I never heard from anyone again.
Obviously I never got the job
, ”she says.
