The presenter then takes his smartphone in hand to read the press release: “We are very attached to the right to parody and to critical. But we do not want our employees or employees to be the object of insults, threats or victims of harassment. It is time for repeated warnings and sanctions, in particular from the CSA and the judiciary, to bring about a change in the behavior of Cyril Hanouna.

C8 , invites him to stop these acts of characterized harassment. “

In the posted video this Wednesday, Cyril Hanouna believes that the reproaches made to his program are linked to the progressing audiences: “When TPMP was doing 700. viewers [en début de saison], we weren’t looking for noises. “

    However, the star C8 presenter is at loggerheads with a large number of personalities from the small screen. It has been several months since the in-house figures of TF1 no longer go on the set of Do not touch to my post .
