A few days ago, Thierry Ardisson had delighted with the closure of the channel.
Sunday October 20, 2024, on the C media set, on France 5, the man in black declared: “When Vincent Bolloré fired me, it wasn’t that serious, but it put almost 100 people out of business. Here, we’re talking about 300 people and that doesn’t bother him”. In war with the host of Touche pas à mon poste, he added: “Give a political show to Cyril Hanouna, it's like giving a 12 year old a machine gun because he says anything and has no culture”.
Sonia Mabrouk: “It’s a friendship, it’s a support”
The next day, on CNews, Pascal Praud defended the 50-year-old host. “That Thierry Ardisson, with his talent, his career, his career, attacks Cyril Hanouna with such violence says a lot about the madness of our times“he had estimated. Thursday October 24, 2024, on the set of the show On marche sur la tête, on Europe 1, Cyril Hanouna assured him that Thierry Ardisson hurt him. “He's so bitter… I'm not even angry with him, he wrote to me yesterday. He still wants to be friends with me”he assured.
Tuesday November 5, 2024, on the set of the show Chez Jordan, on C8, Sonia Mabrouk also gave her support to Cyril Hanouna. “It’s a friendship, it’s a support, it’s a lot of things. And then we don't need to see each other to understand each other with Cyril. They're like lifelong friends. You meet again, and you know what happened in each other's lives without having to talk for hours.”she assured.
Sonia Mabrouk: “He is in a fight, a kind of bitterness and resentment”
As Jordan de Luxe recalled, Thierry Ardisson felt that the closure of C8 was a good thing. “He's in a fight, a kind of bitterness and resentment… But I'm sure that deep down, TV man can't think thatthis is not possible”declared Sonia Mabrouk.
In complete transparency, the 46-year-old journalist added: “You must never let resentment speak! It's not easy to say, but sometimes in our circles, we are thanked, we are appreciated, and then we are called back, so life is like that. We're lucky for that! It's an eternal start again and we must be grateful.”.
