The PPDA affair experienced a new shock this week with the journalist and writer Bénédicte Martin who filed a complaint against the former star of the 8 p.m. news from TF1. She accuses the former presenter of having sexually assaulted her in 2003. After an interview in the literary program “Vol de nuit”, Patrick Poivre d’Arvor would have offered to attend the filming of the 20 hours of TF1. It was then by receiving her in his office that the attempted rape would have taken place.
Saturday September 24, this heavy PPDA affair was mentioned in the new France 2 program hosted by Léa Salamé, “Quelle époque!”. While the latter had among her evening guests a certain Laurence Ferrari, the former columnist of “We are not lying” inevitably asked her for her opinion. “I support all these women, it’s absolute horror what they tell us. We could never have imagined what was going on behind the door of this office“, was first moved by Laurence Ferrari, who, let us remember, held the position of presenter of the TF1 television news from 2008 to 2012, succeeding PPDA.
“You do not know?”, then questioned Léa Salamé. “Never. First of all, I never really worked in the editorial staff of TF1 when he was there since I replaced him, that didn’t escape you. But what they describe is absolute horror, it is predation. I am behind all these women and I give them my fullest support.”reacted Laurence Ferrari.
