Since Friday November 1st, Isabelle Morini-Bosc is accused of racism on social networks. At issue: his comments made the day before in Cyril Hanouna's show concerning a debate on Israel. Several Internet users then relayed the sequence after hearing: “Israel surrounded by animals.“On the social network
The C8 columnist then responded to the controversy a few hours later on her X account. But the controversy continued to gain momentum over the weekend. Back live this Monday, November 4, Cyril Hanouna wanted to provide an update.
Isabelle Morini-Bosc: “it happened so quickly”
The host of TPMP then announced thatIsabelle Morini-Bosc was going “attack everyone, through me. It's me who will pay.” declared Cyril Hanouna on the air. “I won't let go of them” he continued. To put an end to the controversy,The Canal + group talk show teams then isolated the problematic sequence and edited the audio track from Isabelle Morini-Bosc's microphone to show what had really been said on air..
But for many Internet users, it is a fake video. The audio track has been modified. These are the messages that Cyril Hanouna read live. He therefore announced that he would also attack all the people claiming that it was rigged. “You realize the stupidity of these guys, the stupidity of the guys” commented the host.
Isabelle Morini-Bosc also spoke about the complicated weekend she had spent: “When Lionel Stan, the boss of H20 called me on Friday to tell me: 'Isabelle, you have to call back, urgent', I said to myself 'that's it, he's going to yell at me because I didn't sent back a stupid administrative form' and when he said to me: 'you would have said yesterday that Israel was surrounded by animals', I said: 'but are you crazy? at what point could you have thought that I was saying something like that?', he listened live in front of me saying: 'well no, I understand enemies' (…) It actually happened so quickly, but so quickly. So I received, I don't know how they got my personal email but I received hundreds of insulting messages (…) and it's a double punishment for me because suddenly it's : 'how can RTL keep a racist on the air?' there are messages from listeners who reached RTL saying you have a snake in your breast, so it was incredibly violent.” she said.
Isabelle Morini-Bosc, also a journalist, who has worked on radio on RTL for thirty years, continued, declaring not be calm following this avalanche of violence. “So, when I returned home Saturday evening, I was absolutely not cowardly, but I was careful. Usually, I walk along the Seine, I said to myself: 'Isabelle, if there's a madman who stops at the light, who throws you over the bridge, you won't be able to do anythingyou're just a woman. So I put myself on the other side and said to myself: 'if he hits my head on the grid, I at least have the possibility of getting out of it.' Since I've been attacked before, I can't not think about that.”
