Wednesday, February 22, the day after the first episode of the new season of Koh-Lanta, Cyril Hanouna had invited Pascal Salviani. The ex-candidate of Koh Lanta: Thailand in 2016 and from hero fight in 2018, returned to the Denis Brogniart scandal and his inappropriate behavior, pointed out by several ex-collaborators. He took the opportunity to talk about the negative evolution of the fiftieth anniversary. “I did (‘Koh-Lanta’) in 2016, I had a super human guy in front of me, very discreet, there were no social networks […] in 2018, when I remade ‘Koh-Lanta’, it was no longer the same character at all. We have seen his evolution as an animator, he takes up a lot of space. And there, he freaked out. In 2018, he had already freaked out. These behaviors (these outbursts, editor’s note), he has already had them with players and other people“.
Denis Brogniart, defended by a former winner
After this outing, several former candidates took the floor to defend the host. Saturday February 25, 2023, it was Amel, winner of the game’s second season, who spoke on Twitter.

“I take advantage of this sad anniversary of the death of my Nico to respond to Pascal’s remarks about Denis Brogniart”she began her series of tweets. “Nicolas passed away three years ago now (peace be upon him). So I’m going to tell you a true story that hasn’t been aired on any network. As soon as Denis heard about Nico’s illness, he was very present for Nico and for his family. He came to the funeral when he left filming and was more than 5 hours away.
As soon as Denis found out about Nico’s illness, he was very present for Nico and for his family. He came to the funeral (see photo) when he was leaving filming and was more than 5 hours away. He did not wait for media feedback and did not broadcast anything on

For her, Pascal, “uses secrets to create buzz”. “But above all he has no lesson to give because there is no more angry than Pascal”.
There are those who use your light to come out of the shadows. Pascal is one of them. He uses the lives of others to write a book in his name. He uses secrets to create buzz. But above all he has no lesson to give because there is no more angry than Pascal.

Subsequently, the ex-adventurer made a beautiful declaration of friendship to the journalist. “Denis, you have been an animator under the light for so many years. Your success is not due to chance but to your hard work. So yes, there are those who use your light to come out of the shadows […] know that since 2002, I am well placed to tell and see your evolution. I am wholeheartedly with you”.
It seems to me that he didn’t deny anything and that he apologized. As far as I’m concerned. My tweet is about salvaging Pascal for defamation.

And in response to some Internet users, Amel declared that his “tweet is about recovering Pascal for defamation” and not the Denis Brogniart affair.
Know Denis that since 2002, I am well placed to say and see your evolution. My heart goes out to you.❤️
