If she is having some problems at work For the past few weeks, fortunately, Anne-Sophie Lapix has been able to count on a much more reassuring and soothing personal life. Since 2010, the journalist has been married to the businessman Arthur Sadoun, who has been none other than the CEO of the Publicis group for a few days – to replace Maurice Levy, named honorary chairman -, after having been chairman of the board since 2017. This company, leader in the global communications market, has been founded in 1926 by Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet, who is none other than the father of Élisabeth Badinter. The latter remains the majority shareholder of the group, at 10.5%, and his fortune is estimated at several billion euros.
If Léa Salamé is forced to withdraw from each of the political campaigns led by her companion Raphaël Glucksmann, who is head of the Socialist Party list in the European elections which are being held this Sunday, June 9, 2024, Anne-Sophie Lapix, she, has never suffered any public reproach. On the other hand, as she revealed to La Tribune Sundaythe popess of the 8 p.m. show on France 2, which have shown a severe drop in audience since the start of the yearis forced to record on paper every year her marriage to the CEO of Publicis, in order to avoid any conflict of interest with her bosses.
She refuses to associate with politicians
“At France Télévisions, I complete a conflict of interest declaration every year, in which I indicate that I am the wife of the boss of Publicis. There is nothing hidden. If there is the slightest risk of conflict during a report, I immediately step back“ swore the fifty-year-old, who has been serving as queen of France 2’s 8 p.m. show for seven years. If she is somewhat in difficulty by declining audiences in recent months, Anne-Sophie Lapix is not spared by political figures, many to demand his head. It must be said that the journalist has no affinity with the latter, and sets a clear barrier for herself that she does not intend to lift.
Indeed, as revealed to our aforementioned colleagues, Anne-Sophie Lapix ensures never having had lunch or dinner with a political figure, whatever side they are on. And she will never do it: “I prefer not to hang out with them. Because if I have lunch with them, I take the risk of finding them friendly, and of no longer being able to interview them forcefully.” A few years ago, during the presidential elections, Marine Le Pen refused to allow Anne-Sophie Lapix to chair the debate between the two rounds. Léa Salamé was preferred, at the express request of the National Rally.
Traumatized by her home-jacking, her son is a hero
Also questioned about the home-jacking she suffered at the start of the year, Anne-Sophie Lapix returned to the trauma that resulted from it. Mother of two children, from a previous union and aged 21 and 19the journalist is above all a mother and a wife in the city, worried for her family. “It affected my family. My son is a hero, because he was the one who put the thieves to flight, with great composure. But it weakens you because you are then in a state of permanent vigilance” she declared, believing in passing that she had no right to complain: “I find it inappropriate to complain because these attempts failed and the perpetrators were arrested. Others were not as lucky.” In recent months, Bruno Guillon, Patrick Sébastien, Nikos Aliagas and even Ciryl Gane, Samy Naceri, Maïtena Biraben, Vitaa and Cyril Lignac have all been victims of home-jacking.
