In 2017, David Pujadas left the television news of France 2 to make way for Anne-Sophie Lapix, a “experienced journalist, who has already presented newspapers for 20 Heures”as said at the time, Delphine Ernotte, the president of France Télévisions.
But at the time of her appointment, the one who celebrates her 50th birthday, this Friday, April 29, was the target of a rumor. She said the journalist had obtained this position thanks to her businessman husband, close to Emmanuel Macron. Corridor noises peddled into the big mouths on RMC. Finally this “information” was very quickly denied with the added bonus of an apology.
One of the co-hosts of the show, Olivier Truchot (in the company of Alain Marschall), had explained, according to comments relayed by Gala that the chairman of the management board of Publicis “has never given a penny to Macron” and that he is “neither near nor far from the President of the Republic (…) We can criticize Anne-Sophie Lapix on her work. Of course , it is unpleasant to do so by implicating her husband (…) It is true that Pascal Perri relayed false information“.
In the columns of the Sunday Journal, a few years ago, he had also stepped up to raise his voice: “That’s enough! The first time I saw my wife was ten years ago. She was interviewing the Prime Minister at 20 hours on TF1.”
A rare speech from the essential support of Anne-Sophie Lapix. “He tells me interesting things that I don’t think about. It’s very valuable because our brains don’t work the same way! He opens up other perspectives for me, and vice versa. Our discussions focus on our professional choices and on our working relationships. He knows no misogyny and is very respectful of my autonomy.”she said to our colleagues from the magazine She in 2017.
