“Finally, I am very happy that the sum of 100,000 euros has been donated to the Bertrand Kamal association. This whole story ends in a good deed and that will be my last word“, wrote Claude Dartois following the broadcast of the final of Koh-Lanta All Stars 2021 that he had to win. The public thus thought that the one who was to be crowned the big winner accepted the sanction of the production (deprive him of his earnings and not designate any winner), following the clandestine dinners affair in which he would be involved. But if we are to believe the magazine Public of this Friday, December 17, it would not be. And he could well emerge victorious from his supposed showdown against ALP as explained by a lawyer on the set of Do not touch My TV, Thursday December 16.
To deprive the adventurer of his earnings is “illegal and discriminatory“said Jérémie Assous to Parisian yesterday. “He could very well oppose this sanction in labor and criminal matters. You cannot make an employee work 24 hours a day or deprive him of food outside working hours, regardless of the candidates’ consent. It is forbidden to organize such working conditions“, had specified the specialist in employment contracts of this type of programs. Statements which did not go unnoticed since Cyril Hanouna invited him to his program so that he can explain himself.
Thus, C8 viewers discovered that Claude Dartois was in fact within his rights when he went to look for food from other people, since he did so in his spare time. “I hear a lot about cheating. Corn the notion of cheating is totally foreign to the Labor Code. The participants are employees of the production company. Therefore they have a certain number of obligations, like any employee towards his employer but during his working time. Outside of his working time, he finds all his freedom. So claiming that you breached some of your obligations while it was outside of your working time is totally illegal.“, first explained the lawyer.
He then recalled that the Code of Honor mentioned by Denis Brogniart on the evening of the final or ALP in his press release was subject to the Labor Code. He therefore wishes Claude “to initiate all actions that are open“.”He is sure to win them. And he is not going to earn 100,000 euros, he is going to earn a lot more. They will never go to the end for the simple reason that the violations and shortcomings they inflicted on Claude and the other participants do not come under labor law alone. It is also criminal law. And I find it hard to see an ALP leader agreeing to defend himself and be sentenced by a criminal court“, he concluded.
Claude Dartois at war against ALP?
Present on the set, a journalist from the magazine Public has come to provide other details, which can be found in today’s edition. According to his information, the master driver would have started a showdown against ALP and TF1 A week ago. He allegedly contacted several lawyers to “demonstrate that in an adventure game, looking for food is part of the rules. And that in the Code of Honor, nothing prevents candidates from begging for food“. Because he would not have simply lost the 100,000 euros at stake. Claude would also have had his participation in the Great animators competition and the adventure show he was supposed to host on TMC next year. The case could therefore go to court, even if for its part the production indicates that “cheaters have been punished enough“. To be continued !
Recall that Claude Dartois would have been involved in the cheating affair concerning Teheiura. The latter was excluded after revealing that he had eaten twice thanks to fishermen. And he would have shared his booty, with Sam and Virginia’s husband in particular. A version still denied by them. The father of Marceau (1 year old) and Andréa (6 years old) would also have participated in clandestine dinners, organized after the counseling evenings. Four to five adventurers (including Laurent and Claude) would have taken advantage of the fact that the guards were sleeping to get to the Sunset Beach Motel, where they would have had the opportunity to eat every three days.
