Régis Maynard, the interpreter of Eric in the series “Plus belle la vie”, saw fiction come true on July 1, 2022. While he plays a homosexual character in the cult series from France 3, in the episode 4558 broadcast on Wednesday June 15, his character was surprised to discover his van covered in homophobic insults… Insults that they unfortunately also receive in real life.
On his Instagram account, Régis Maynard explained that his Facebook page had been deleted by the social network due to too many homophobic complaints from Internet users…
“I’m going to tell you a joke: it’s July 1, 2022 and the love story of my character Eric Norman in Plus Belle La Vie has been broadcast for 15 days on France 3. My character is homosexual and he finally meets love in the person of Simon played by Julien Ellenrieder, explains the actor. Since the beginning of the broadcast of this plot, we have had the return of regular homophobic remarks. That, we know (it’s been 5 and a half years that I play a gay…). Attention fall of the joke: I had a Facebook page (Régis Maynard – actor) until a few days ago and the images of this intrigue were posted daily on it. Following numerous complaints, denunciations, I received a message from Facebook telling me: we have decided to close your page because it does not “respect the standards of the community”. Today is July 1, 2022, end of the joke”he wrote.
An Instagram post that many Internet users have commented on to support the actor: “When will a social media police be coming to clean up! ?In any case, I love your love story at the moment! It smells of love and we love it! », « Sad world », « Hallucinating », « It’s incredible that… There are really people with thoughts that date from another era. I really like this plot.”can we read… Positive feedback from Internet users who restore hope in humans!
