This Saturday March 16, 2024, Michel Sardou concluded his tour at the Défense Arena in Paris. In addition to performing his most cult titles, the 77-year-old artist especially caused reactions on the Web after his declaration on the subject of consent. “A young man who places his hand without her consent on a woman’s hand is in direct custody. If he has the audacity to want to place his hand elsewhere, it’s Fleury-Mérogis ( the prison) !”for example, he had fun during his concert.
A statement which greatly annoyed Gilles Verdez. Indeed, this Monday March 18, 2024, Cyril Hanouna’s columnist uttered a rant after the “joke” of Michel Sardou. “He says ‘when a young man places his hand without his consent’, he seems to be saying that today a young man can do it. He seems to be trivializing the absence of consent. And that’s terrible.”lamented Fatou’s companion.

Géraldine Maillet, disappointed by the behavior of Michel Sardou
For him, this type of speech opens the door to violence against women. An opinion partly shared by Guillaume Genton, but above all Géraldine Maillet. Daniel Riolo’s partner expressed her anger during the debate: “Obviously, he’s a legend, obviously I love Michel Sardou. But then, beyond that, I think he totally failed in fact. I think it’s a reaction of an old boomer reacting , which is a little pitiful”.
“Please respect Michel Sardou!”the host of the daily newspaper then reframed it C8. Not enough to stop his columnist. “I would have loved to see this show, because I really love Michel Sardou and all his songs. And when I watched the show with all the stories that were made I said to myself ‘but in fact it’s incredible, these are all songs, each one sexier than the other'”continued Géraldine Maillet who concluded: “In fact, I find that this exit clashes with the other side, wokist and hyper radical. I find that the two meet and it is catastrophic”.
