“A concert that has not yet taken place but which is creating a lot of buzz… As he prepares to go on tour, Bilal Hassani has announced his intention to perform in a desecrated basilica in Metz. If for some, there is no controversy because this basilica has not been a place of worship for 500 years, for others it is once again a shameful provocation” it is with these words that Cyril Hanouna addressed this Tuesday, April 4, 2023, the controversy around Bilal Hassani which has been swelling on the web for a few hours.
For the occasion, the host had invited on the set of “Touche pas à mon poste”, François de Locher, president of the Political Service Foundation. “It’s absolutely catastrophic! Why is Bilal Hassani once again trying to make a buzz by massacring a sacred place? His engine is to shock…” he said sorry before specifying that the singer has also made his announcement on the eve of a very sacred period for Catholics, “Holy Thursday”, the Thursday preceding Easter.
While most columnists assured that they were not shocked by this announcement, Benjamin Castaldi protested: “By advocating tolerance, you become intolerant! There are Christians who can be shocked, I’m sorry ” he chanted. Furious, Matthieu Delormeau then replied: “Fuck you! Let’s be honest, Laurent Voulzy sang in a church, it didn’t shock anyone, there what bothers is because he is homosexual!”. Faced with this, François de Locher assured that his sexual orientation does not matter but that it is the provocative side that disturbs before pointing out that the singer has just shot a clip with a famous porn actor.

Géraldine Maillet challenges Cyril Hanouna
While the subject was closed, and Cyril Hanouna was addressing the case of Lucile, an influencer who recently testified on the set to tell her ordeal in the face of a limitless stalker, Géraldine Maillet took the floor to express his: “I’m angry, I’m angry because I didn’t digest the sequence from earlier. I found it very violent. Maybe we saved Lucile but can -be that because of the previous sequence, there are homosexuals watching and how we treated Bilal, there are some who are going to commit suicide” she launched before adding: “We have a real responsibility and I found it violent, but absolute!”.
Cyril Hanouna then tried to calm things down by replying: “You don’t understand the debate, the debate was not ‘for or against homosexuals’! The thing is that there are a lot of people and we saw it through the poll launched on Twitter, for whom religion is taboo. They don’t want a hard rock singer, nor the Gypsy King in a church! Hundreds of Internet users have also declared on Twitter, to totally agree with Cyril Hanouna and to be annoyed by the words of Géraldine Maillet.
