Hostilities are open between Cyril Hanouna and Manon Aubry. This Monday, December 2, 2024, the European deputy of France insoumise published a video on her social networks to respond to the attacks of the star host, which according to her made her the target of a wave of hatred online . “Cyril Hanouna spent his last two broadcasts on Europe 1 and C8 insulting me and France Insoumise. Since then, I have been cyber-harassed. I refer the matter to Arcom and the competent courts“, she wrote to accompany the video.
“They are making political propaganda”
At the start of the video, we discover a montage of the remarks made last Friday November 29 by the star host in “Touche pas à mon poste” on C8 and “On marche sur la tête” on Europe 1.Manon Aubry who is really not the sharpest knife in the drawer. It's not the crispiest chip in the pack. It's not a light. No but when you don't know the files, shut up” we can hear him say. The same day, the presenter announced in his daily radio his intention to pursue the MEP in court for comments made in the morning on Europe 1, during an interview with Pascal Praud. Manon Aubry then expressed her wish to see Arcom close C8, citing convictions for “racist remarks“.
Live, Cyril Hanouna tried to contact Manon Aubry by telephone for an explanation, but according to him he came across her voicemail: “You will certainly receive a short letter from my lawyer for defamation“, he told him. After this call, Cyril Hanouna confirmed that he wanted to file a complaint, saying: “I am going to attack Manon Aubry for this false information. C8 has never been sanctioned for racism and never will be!“. “Since these Friday shows, I have literally been cyberstalked online“, reveals Manon Aubry in her video. “I'll pass on all the messages I receive to you“, she continues before citing some representative examples.

“That tells you the extent today of the level of violence that was caused by this type of broadcast, which moreover had nothing to say about the insulting remarks that were made towards us, where we qualify the elected representatives of rebellious France, notably the 'Indian reserve'“, she denounces. “And it is also no surprise that Cyril Hanouna's broadcasts have already been pinned down to remove part of the online replay, because his comments are so insulting and because they are political propaganda.“, she adds, before going into the detail of her demonstration and denying certain comments made on the sets of the host, recalling that “C8 has been the subject of numerous condemnations from Arcom. 'Le Monde' has listed more than 35“.
Including CNews, the regulatory authority imposed at least 52 sanctions on Vincent Bolloré's two open channels, according to a count from “Le Monde”. C8 has accumulated 7.6 million euros in fines due to the slip-ups of its flagship host in “TPMP” and its variations. In November 2022, his insults towards LFI deputy Louis Boyard led to a record fine of 3.5 million euros. An altercation which notably led Manon Aubry to systematically refuse Cyril Hanouna's repeated invitations to participate in the show. “He spent half the campaign insulting us“, she explained to YouTuber Sam Zirah, believing that the talk show is not a suitable space to defend her ideas. These statements provoked the immediate reaction of the presenter, who made it clear that his dispute only concerned Louis Boyard. “In any case, it proves to Arcom that we invite them“, he quipped.
