This Wednesday, March 30, Cyril Hanouna and the columnists of “Touche pas à mon poste!” wanted to come back to the threats received by Laurent Fontaine after announcing their support for candidate Emmanuel Macron. Monday evening, on the set of TPMP, the host had notably described the supports of Eric Zemmour as “fachos”. During tonight’s debate, Cyril Hanouna violently reframed Géraldine Maillet.
High tensions this week in TPMP. After the tense debate last Monday between Laurent Fontaine and Olivier Ubéda, organizer of the meeting ofEric Zemmour at the Trocadero, C8 viewers once again witnessed a skirmish between Cyril Hanouna and Géraldine Maillet. This Wednesday evening, the star host of TPMP again invited on set Lawrence Fontaine to return to the lynching and the threats that the latter has suffered since his displayed support for Emmanuel Macron but also since his remarks against the supporters of the candidate Eric Zemmour, supporters whom he described as “fachos”.
This evening, on the same set, Laurent Fontaine clarified his remarks: “There is a real public who votes Zemmour and which is a public of fachos and I was talking in particular about the people who were at the Trocadéro”. Fabien Roussel, PCF candidate for the presidential election, also present on the set, reacted to the words of the former TF1 host: “We must stop putting voters in boxes: fascism, when it was in power, has caused millions of deaths (…) Today there are citizens, French people, who vote without any particular political attachment: they are angry, they have heard someone on television who sticks with what they may think but there is not necessarily the whole program behind (…) the voters will vote suddenly to the far right, sometimes also to the left but very often they no longer vote so it is necessary first go and convince them.”

“It’s too much with Géraldine, he’s H24 on his back!”
Géraldine Maillet then launched: “Nazi salutes in Villepinte, isn’t it anger?” A question, echoing a gesture that took place in the audience of a meeting of candidate Eric Zemmour, which immediately triggered the anger of Cyril Hanouna. “Baba” immediately qualified the columnist as a “lesson giver”: “You are still giving lessons. Respect the French a little: you tire everyone, you are unbearable, everyone says so! (…) The French do what they want, they are not like you with a comfortable salary, with a very good life…”
There followed a violent pass of arms: “You do not know my life Cyril!” “I know what you earn here…” “Yes but you don’t know my life, I’m 50, you don’t know what I did before…”
This tension between the two protagonists of the show is not new, but Internet users have criticized the particular virulence of the clash tonight, denouncing in particular a real “humiliation” of the columnist. Moments later, Géraldine Maillet received numerous tweets of support.
