On Twitter, in March 2021, the journalist from “Téléfoot” opened up on the subject, without giving a name:
“I was humiliated and insulted during a pub break in front of the consultants, the guest, the public , management, technicians and managers.

Here
, the host, who is soon to inaugurate his statue at the Grévin museum, apologized and justified himself as follows: "
I am very committed, a perfectionist and on the occasion of two live broadcasts on TF1, where the pressure is very intense, I had words that went beyond my thoughts, remarks that offended some people and I regret it.
Nothing justifies my behavior, which followed certain difficulties.
These isolated facts do not reflect the privileged relationships based on respect and goodwill that I maintain with the technical and editorial teams of the programs in which I have participated for 30 years.
I would like to apologize to anyone I may have hurt
