“
You’re a dirty bitch, I hate you, I wish you death
.”
Attacked by an individual this Saturday in the bar car of a TGV, LFI deputy Louis Boyard endured a barrage of insults for three and a half minutes.
“
Sir, try to remain dignified,
” replied the rebel, trying to calm the situation.
After the video, published on social networks, went viral, Louis Boyard reacted on his X account (ex-Twitter) on Sunday evening.
"Two weights, two measures"
Referring to the attack in May 2020 on Éric Zemmour which had, according to him, caused more reaction in the media and political landscape, the rebellious MP said he was surprised by the lack of consideration of his case, denouncing “
double standards , two measures
”.
"
No indignant journalist, no word of support from deputies of the presidential minority, no sign from the president of the National Assembly
" [...] "
No restraint and no support from the bourgeoisie and its political and media representatives are to wait
,” he regretted.
During the altercation, the individual who insulted him and who claims to work with Cyril Hanouna, asked him in particular: “Do
you continue to sell drugs?
» A reference to a confession that Louis Boyard made about selling drugs when he was a student.
The LFI deputy, who himself was a columnist in the star presenter's TPMP show, responded that it was certainly "
more ethical
" to sell drugs than to work for Cyril Hanouna.

He says he “
no longer travels alone
” and “
takes less public transport
”.
Mainly since his party's controversial positions on Hamas, whose terrorist nature the Rebels have often refused to recognize, or even since his altercation with Cyril Hanouna on TPMP in November 2022.
Denouncing the violence that his “
social camp
” is experiencing, Louis Boyard believes that the “
political fight
” is becoming more difficult to wage every day.
In October 2023, he reported receiving up to 10 anonymous calls per minute.
Exasperated, he filed a complaint for death threats and intimidation.
