These two are unlikely to go on vacation together. The towel has been burning between Michel Cymes and Cyril Hanouna for a while. The former doctor has the program “Touche Pas à Mon Poste” in his sights. In response to the numerous attacks of which he feels the victim from the columnists of the C8 talk show, last January, he asked his lawyer to closely monitor the remarks made in the program. In case of insults or defamation, he warned that he will not let it go. Asked by Telepro, he explained last winter that his lawyer was working on this file. “From the moment there is defamation or insult, I will see things differently“, he warned then. “I have no intention of being insulted either by a program or by anyone on the street without reacting. Let it be said that I am useless as an animator, there is no problem“, he added while affirming then: “I think it’s smarter to argue rather than just take it out on someone.“
And a few weeks later, things haven’t really changed. Guest of the program Chez Jordan, the sidekick of Adriana Karembeu spoke again about these tense relations between the two animators. “When you do the job that I do, you have to accept criticism. I’m not a good presenter? No problem. The show is not good? No problem. But when you start tackling the person and that results in insults…”, he said.
“Michel, you can put your stethoscope wherever I think”. “I think we are going beyond the limits of criticism. And I’m sorry, but I’m like all human beings, I don’t let myself be insulted“, says the former host of Health Magazine. “Once again, criticizing a program is one thing and if they tear me down because they consider that I am not a good presenter or because my programs are not good, let them say so but let them argue. But I don’t let myself be insulted, that’s all! I do not attack anyone, I defend myself.“
