It’s another program, Further investigationwhich shakes up the small world of TV with an issue entirely devoted to the C8 host, this Thursday, November 30, 2023. This investigation, broadcast at 11 p.m. on France 2, aims to paint a portrait of the presenter of TPMPbut also to reveal his behavior behind the scenes, when the cameras turn off.
But before that, his attitude has already been singled out in an investigation by Telerama. Cyril Hanouna is nicknamed “the TV boss” who continues “his off-camera intimidations”. In this article, the host is compared to Donald Trump or to a “godfather” by sources who remain anonymous.
Threats
A former columnist of Do not touch My TVwhose name has not been revealed, adds in the article in the magazine specializing in cultural news that “Cyril understood that power is exercised through pressure” and uses his show as “a weapon”: “The day when, in 2015, Bolloré signed him a contract for 250 million euros, I saw him sink into a humiliating character hungry for power”, assures this anonymous person.
In this investigation published on the Télérama website before the broadcast of Further investigationit is revealed that Cyril Hanouna would have resorted to threats off the air: “If you continue, I will send you someone downstairs from your house, he will take you around the neighborhood in the trunk”, he would have said to a journalist in 2018. He also reportedly told a former communicator for a production company in 2015: “I’m going to break both of your legs. You’ll never be able to go on a TV set again.”
Reiterated threats at the announcement of the investigation Further investigation on his person. On May 22, in Do not touch My TV, Cyril Hanouna would have assured that this report marked the end of the show “because I’m going to stick my nose in it. And you know that, when I stick my nose somewhere, generally, I often blow everything up”. Hanouna also promised “an investigation into France Télévisions and Complément d’investigation” in return.
Cyril Hanouna’s teams defend him, assuring that “he is like that”. “He says what he thinks, at least it’s sincere, assures a former colleague. He doesn’t realize that he hurts. He’s in overdrive, but he’s sensitive, who experiences attacks like a betrayal.”
“Media pressure”
The journalists of Further investigation also affirmed on Télérama that the investigation broadcast Thursday evening was “the most complicated of their entire career”. Journalist Virginie Vilar explained that she “wasted a lot of time dismantling rumors and false leads, the character Hanouna arouses a lot of fantasies”.
Tristan Waleckx, presenter of the show, also denounced “unprecedented media pressure”. At the microphone of the Belgian magazine Teleprothe presenter of Further investigation says that the portrait of the host was not made to be incriminating: “We are not only looking for compromising files. He is someone who also has some enemies.”
