A few hours after the article was published, Nagui posted a message on his Instagram account.
“I worked for more than two years every day with Manu Levy and I admired his strength of creativity, his desire to work tirelessly, his demands and his tplv (everything for the sake of it) often in self-deprecation never in aggression or insult. Total support for you Manu”
, wrote the host and producer who shared with Manu Levy the animation of “Nagui is in the morning... Manu less!” from 2006 to 2008 on Europe 2.
Manu Levy worked with Arthur for a very long time. First in “Arthur and the Pirates” on Europe 1 and Europe 2 then “La matinale” on Europe 2 and finally “Radio Arthur”. It is therefore quite natural that the TF1 host also published a message in support of his friend.
“I worked for fifteen years, four hours a day with Manu Levy. He's the nicest guy I've ever met in my entire audiovisual career. He never disrespected anyone, his benevolence in the world of radio is legendary. Those who wantonly smear him today should be ashamed. He is a great professional who has inspired and encouraged an incredible number of young talents to work. Total and unwavering support for my lifelong friend
,” he wrote. A message that Karine Le Marchand commented on with a simple:
“Okay!”
