In February 2028, C8 will close its doors by decision of Arcom. In question? The audiovisual policeman particularly deplored the numerous controversies which exploded on the channel, mainly on the side of TPMP broadcast every evening. And while Cyril Hanouna recently promised that the show would still continue on another channel in the Canal+ group, it finds itself (again) at the center of a terrible bad buzz.
Racist controversy on the set of TPMP ?
On Thursday October 31, 2024, a debate was organized around the table concerning the desire of Louis Boyard – detractor n°1 of Hanouna, to cancel the next France-Israel football match expected at the Stade de France due to the deadly attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.
A desire based on article 4 of the FIFA statutes (which requires respect for human rights), which was not appreciated by the columnists, starting with Valérie Benaïm. “It's the only democracy in the region, sorry“, she was offended. A reminder approved by Isabelle Morini-Bosc, who would have immediately clarified: “Surrounded by animals“.
Yes, according to Internet users scandalized by this sequence, the famous journalist simply made racist remarks against the Palestinian people. Issue ? If the controversy following this horrible comparison quickly swelled on social networks, this passage would nevertheless only be the fruit… of an auditory hallucination.
Isabelle Morini-Bosc defends herself
While part of the public was already demanding new sanctions against TPMPIsabelle Morini-Bosc, for her part, wanted to make things clear. “Hey guys, wash your earsthe columnist was indignant on her Twitter account. I obviously didn't say 'a country surrounded by animals', I said 'a country surrounded by enemies'.” A very important clarification, which she subsequently underlined with: “What a sad desire to harm“.
It now remains to be seen whether this clarification will be seen (and heard) by Internet users at the risk of seeing the atmosphere, already deleterious on social networks, deteriorate further.
