It all started on Thursday October 31. The “TPMP” columnists engaged in a debate on a current issue. And the subject of the day was particularly hot: the call launched by Louis Boyard – MP with whom Cyril Hanouna had disagreements – to cancel the France-Israel football match, scheduled at the Stade de France, due to the war in Middle East. The argument, based on article 4 of the FIFA statutes requiring respect for human rights, divided columnists. Valérie Benaïm assured that the Hebrew State was “the only democracy in the region“. A statement approved by Isabelle Morini-Bosc.
“It was incredibly violent and it still is”
She would then have added “surrounded by animals“, interpreted some viewers. The controversy quickly swelled on social networks, fueled by messages from Internet users and certain political figures. Among them, Ian Brossat. The senator and spokesperson for the PCF reported the sequence to the 'Arcom. But in reality, it would be an auditory hallucination The day after the broadcast of the program, Isabelle Morini-Bosc spoke on the social network X to refute these accusations: “Hey guys, wash your ears. I obviously didn't say 'a country surrounded by animals', but 'a country surrounded by enemies'“, she wrote.
This Monday, the columnist was again present on the set of the C8 show, and Cyril Hanouna in turn gave his version of the facts, revealing the audio recordings from his microphone, devoid of ambient noise. We can then hear Isabelle Morini-Bosc say “surrounded by enemies”. “I had no doubt! Do you really think we're going to say that on a TV show? Do you really think anyone here thinks that?” reacted the host, visibly annoyed. “No, but really it's very serious, we deliver a message of peace every night on this show, and making Isabelle pass for someone who can say outrageous things like that is extremely serious.”he added, before launching a tape parodying an advertisement for hearing aids, on images of political figures who had been outraged on social networks.
