In TPMP this Friday, October 27, Stéphane Plaza’s lawyer, Ms. Hélène Plumet, spoke on behalf of his client on the accusations which have been targeting him for a month, and in the face of which he remained completely silent until then. Since September 21 and the publication of a vitriolic investigation by Mediapart, three ex-partners of the host of House for Sale accuse him of violent behavior, inappropriate gestures, and verbal humiliation. One of them also claims to have had her finger broken following a violent altercation. A judicial investigation has since been opened last October 10 for “domestic violence”.
“Stéphane Plaza does not wish to speak at this time, in particular, given the international context. However, his silence is in no way an admission, quite the contrary. He is very affected. Today, his name is smeared and his network is attacked even though he has committed no crime or violence.. He reiterates that he has never been violent towards anyone and that this cause is being used hurts him because battered women lose their lives every day. confided the lawyer, recalling that her client had attacked his accusers last June for “harassment” and “cyber-harassment”aware of the vendetta they were going to set up: “The criminal investigation is ongoing and, to our knowledge, several people are also filing complaints for harassment, particularly against the three women concerned, or even threats and identity theft because the methods used by the harassers are part of an organized gang.”
Karine Le Marchand and Hugo Manos come to his aid
Faced with so many accusations, many voices were raised to defend Stéphane Plaza. Her best friend Karine Le Marchand, who herself filed a complaint against Lilian Thuram for “domestic violence” around ten years ago before retracting, wanted to reaffirm his support and friendship: “But I’ve never seen him violent, rarely angry. He’s more the type to sulk in his corner. Afterwards, I’ve never been in a relationship with him, I don’t know how he behaves with his mistresses “ she indicated to Paris Matchadding “only at the limit”, it was “an idiot”And“a cad”. The host also pointed out the versions given by the accusers, reproaching one of them for having continued to collaborate with “his executioner” months following the facts she attributes to him: “I’m surprised. After what she describes as an attack, she stayed with him for another six months. And continued, for several months, to work with the man she considered her tormentor?”
On Europe 1 this Thursday October 26, 2023, Eric Antoine was more categoricalasserting that Stéphane Plaza’s career was now reduced to nothing, and that he would not be able to recover: “Once again, there is justice, there is a law (…) I find that this is terrible. Stéphane, whatever happens, his life is broken“. In TPMP finally this Friday, Hugo Manoscompanion of Laurent Ruquier and columnist of Cyril Hanouna, denounced “a vendetta” targeting Stéphane Plaza: “We are sullying his image, we are sullying his work. I met two women who filed a complaint against Stéphane. I have a completely clear vision of what is happening. It is a settling of scores, a vendetta against Stéphane. For the moment, we have succeeded in bringing him down (…) Even if he was a bastard with women and had several conquests at the same timefrom there to harassing him, it no longer makes sense” the model blamed.
