After reading the messages about him, Stephan reacted to the many criticisms about him and he published a message of the most sincere apologies.
Since the host has no social networks in his name, he published his missive on the LinkedIn platform.
«A quick word for those who were surprised or disappointed watching the interview with Julien Lacroix on Friday evening.
I have noticed for 36 hours by reading the many comments from viewers that many have very harshly judged my work.
It’s never easy to take criticism, especially when it comes from all sides.
Impossible either to deny what is now obvious to me, I did not give the best of myself during this interview.
I thought it was difficult, if not impossible, to make Julien’s voice heard, his version of the facts, without first going through the wall of fire of the most difficult questions.
His own experience, his personal assessment could only be heard after we had first acquitted ourselves of a more introspective feedback.
Maybe I abused it?
Worse, I probably looked like a prosecutor.
This is a posture that I denounce in my colleagues and which has disturbed my sleep ever since.
I do not aspire to be a director of conscience, mine not being immaculate
The opportunity to finally open the discussion on the best way to approach these delicate, difficult issues, and above all, which call for nuance, that are the modern relationships between men and women, well this opportunity was missed.
I am solely responsible for it and I blame myself because we had a wonderful opportunity to do so.
I read that I was “full” of myself.
The word hurts, it also sticks.
I didn’t like myself watching the interview again.
Looking forward to doing better,
Stephan Office»
