accused of domestic violence, the presenter will not be sanctioned internally, announces the boss of the M6 ​​channel

No sanction for the flagship host of M6. Accused of domestic violence, Stephane Plaza will remain on the air, announced Monday, November 6, the boss of the channel Nicolas de Tavernost on BFM Business.

“We commissioned an internal investigation inside M6 with all the people who work with Stéphane Plaza. The same thing was done at [le géant de la production audiovisuelle] Mediawan. These two investigations did not provide any evidence that would justify a sanction against Stéphane Plaza. declared Nicolas de Tavernost.“Even, on the contrary, his colleagues rather support him,” he clarified, confirming that the star host, whose shows have continued to be broadcast despite requests for deprogramming from feminist activists, is doing well “stay on the air”.

Accused of verbal and physical violence

In an investigation published at the end of September, the Mediapart information site, citing the testimonies of three of the host’s ex-partners, explains having “brought together numerous elements and stories testifying to mistreatment carried out by the real estate agent popularized by M6 on three of his companions: humiliation, threats, verbal violence and, for two of them, physical violence”.

An investigation into domestic violence was immediately opened against the host, who formally contests these accusations.

“It is not up to us to take the place of the police or the courts in making a decision,” underlined Nicolas de Tavernost. “These are subjects that we always look at with great caution, particularly these subjects of domestic violence. We are extremely attentive, both internally and externally.”
