In February 2025, C8 will close its doors on TNT. In question? Arcom judged that the channel did not meet the expectations set out in the specifications, the fault of a lack of profitability, but also of the numerous controversies which broke out on the set of TPMP (resulting in record fines). And while Cyril Hanouna and the Canal+ Group are today working on a solution to save the programs (they would like to convince Arcom to transform CStar into the new C8), the daily talk show has found itself at the center of a new quack this week.
Sébastien Delogu victim of fake news
On the program? On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the host and his team attacked Sébastien Delogu (MP from the NUPES-LFI group) by claiming that he had insulted Aurore Bergé (LREM MP) of “big trash can“during a session at the National Assembly. The problem? The MP had obviously never uttered such insults, as he was able to prove with the publication of the report of the session by the editors.
In reality, while Aurore Bergé tried to link the violence in Amsterdam with the positions of LFI, Sébastien Delogu was offended by declaring: “You will end up in the dustbins of history, the dustbins“. A very different version which completely changes the exchange.
Cyril Hanouna apologizes for his mistake
Faced with this observation, Cyril Hanouna – who himself had complained about seeing Internet users making false statements to one of his columnists a few days earlier (quite an irony), had no other choice but to apologize. A difficult situation for the presenter, as he hates the LFI deputy with whom he clashes regularly.
“Even if we don't agree with him on a lot of things… There, we still have to say to ourselves that it's not the same and that we are obliged to make our mea culpahe whispered on the C8 set this Wednesday, November 13. Like the other journalists who took up this information because he wouldn't have… The report is clear. He didn't call her 'trash'.“
Subsequently, Cyril Hanouna recalled: “We were wrong, and when we were wrong, we must say it and we say it. Otherwise, we no longer have any credibility.” And to add further: “Sébastien Delogu, we are sorry for having said that and for having relayed this information yesterdaywhich was false information that had been relayed by a lot of media“.
What reconciles the two men? To be continued.
