He won’t just make friends… Jean-Michel Maire is known for his outspokenness and his somewhat nagish side. However, it can sometimes happen to him to say things that can shock some viewers or his colleagues like Ludivine Retory. Indeed, the latter did not agree with the speech of the ex-columnist of TPMP about the gay community and mainly about Bilal Hassani.
In the 6 to 7, the Top 100of this Thursday, June 30, Bernard Montiel revealed some cult sequences of TPMP This year. The opportunity for them to review the moment when Matthieu Delormeau criticized the participation of Bilal Hassani in Dance with the stars. “In real life, do you know what it’s going to be like? It’s going to make people in front of their television watch and say to themselves ‘but that’s gays?’. It’s going to create homophobia and violence !”he regretted before being partly joined by Guillaume Genton: “You have to say things and tell the truth. The image of two men, with the appearance of a man, who dance together, today it bothers on television”. After the broadcast of the sequence, Ludivine Retory and Jean-Michel Maire were invited to comment on what they had just seen.
An assumed disagreement
The first admitted not to agree with the words of Matthieu Delormeau and Guillaume Genton. “Two men dancing together today on French TV I don’t think it would bother”she explains before being cut by her colleague: “Well the proof that yes, since there is none”. Following this response, the columnist then continued: “What is scandalous in Matthieu’s words is that he says ‘that’s not a homosexual’. Well yes, that’s also a homosexual. It’s also Matthieu. It’s also Frédéric Lopez. It’s also Laurent Ruquier, it’s also Hugos Manos. Hugo and his companion are the opposite in terms of clothing. We have to stop putting people in boxes.”.
Arguments that do not seem to have convinced Jean-Michel Maire. The latter in turn took the floor and agreed with Matthieu Delormeau. “It looks like (a homosexual: editor’s note) the idea that the media keep giving us. I have lots of gay friends and their worst day is Gay Pride”he let go at first before emptying his bag: “Because the image of gay people at this event is an image of guys in ultra-tight shorts, dancing with feathers up their ass on a float.” “A homosexual is not that”he concluded without convincing Ludivine Retory.
