This Monday, May 2, Patrick Sébastien was the guest of Do not touch My TV and the host once again slammed the public service after he was fired three years ago.
The separation had not gone well. In 2019, after 25 years of good and loyal service, France Télévisions decided to dismiss Patrick Sebastian in a strategy of renewal and by justifying that the latter no longer had as many audiences as before. Dissatisfied with his treatment, the former presenter happy years had decided to file a complaint against his ex-employer. After months of waiting, the verdict fell, confirming the split between the popular animator and the group over time. The judges thus condemn France Télévisions to pay 652,251 euros to the company of the troublemaker for “sudden termination of commercial relations”. A half-hearted victory for the one who claimed 26 million euros. Since his dismissal on France 2, Patrick Sebastian has sailed towards other projects and C8 rebroadcasts the greatest moments of its programs with good audiences, proof that its success is intact.
The host criticizes his ex-employer
This Monday, May 2, Cyril Hanouna was at the helm of a new issue of Do not touch My TV and received Patrick Sebastian to discuss its topicality. During the show, Gilles Verdez strongly tackled the entertainment programs of France Télévisions with his legendary excess. The columnist then asked for the return of the former host of the Biggest cabaret in the world on television, he who had just affirmed that he did not miss the small screen. “I let their stuff do their thing, I don’t watch their shows. I watch TPMP, I watch things that amuse me like Netflix. And I watch rugby“, replied the guest of the day.
“They tell us what to love”
Seconds later, he added: “There are very good TV movies that are shown on the public service, they are doing well. Afterwards, entertainment, we don’t give them the place they deserve. After, they decided that all that was varieties, it was not necessary. They tell us what to love”. Not sure that this new charge against the public service eases tensions…
