This Wednesday, October 11, 2023, Cyril Hanouna was in charge of his show Do not touch My TV on C8. As since the beginning of the week, the host discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the attacks that occurred in Israel on October 7. If the host and his columnists strongly condemned the actions of Hamas and terrorism in the broad sense, some did not fail to point the finger at the personalities who have remained silent since the start of the tragedy.
Furious, Géraldine Maillet castigated the silence of great French voices like Kylian Mbappé and Omar Sy. Very quickly, Gilles Verdez tried to find a justification for the lack of reaction from Kylian Mbappé on social networks. “Kylian Mbappé plays for PSG which is a club that belongs to Qatar so already it’s not easy politically and secondly, he is followed by millions of people and if he makes a tweet, he will have 5 million messages from Internet users expressing their disagreement but Kylian Mbappé cannot afford that. He is afraid!”.
Omar Sy silent after the attacks in Israel: Géraldine Maillet rants
Nothing to convince Géraldine Maillet who then attacked Omar Sy live : “He steps up to the plate every time and there’s a silence that’s disgusting. It’s such a lack of courage. I don’t know where he is there, filming a series for Netflix in the United States or I don’t know where he lives… He gives us lessons in courage all the time, he talks to us about kneeling on the ground to fight against racism and there he is not at all there…”.
Cyril Hanouna for his part considered that condemning terrorism is possible, without taking part in the conflict or dividing the population. According to the host, the ten most popular personalities in France such as Omar Sy, Kylian Mbappé and Jean-Jacques Goldman must speak out about this terrible drama.
