Difficult not to draw the parallel between the two figures of TF1, fallen stars since the revelation of their “business”. Nicolas Hulot, at the heart of the media storm since he declared himself withdrawing from public life the day before the broadcast of the number ofCorrespondent dedicated to himself, is close to Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, accused by several women of violence ranging from harassment to rape. There are many similarities between the two cases, whether it is the profile of these two men or their alleged predatory attitudes. In its edition of December 2, 2021, Paris Match now reveals the shocking alleged complicity between the two historic presenters of the TF1 group.
In the photos, they appear to be friends who shone and made the PAF shine. We can see Nicolas Hulot and his friend Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, on the star’s wedding day in Saint-Malo. Ushuaia with Isabelle Patissier, quadruple world champion climber. The historic host of the JT was his witness and they shared a host of other events together, all over the world, such as this forum of women for the economy and society in 2016 in Mauritius. During this event, PPDA’s words now take a whole different turn: “I share a very large number of Nicolas’ ideas, fights, passions, I will try to question him as worthily as possible to allow him to express his views.“
Today, Paris Match lifts the veil on the friendship between men with what used to be hallway noises, now validated by several people. “When twenty-three women testified against the actions of Hulot’s great friend, Patrick Poivre d’Arvor, some accusing him of rape, several people remembered the game that the star journalist of the 8 pm had established with an ‘ex- star presenter of TF1, himself very insistent with women. A points system for each woman conquered in the public, so much for a waitress, so much for an air hostess … ‘The friend of PPDA in question, it is Hulot’, confirmed us several sources“the magazine writes in its survey.
Featured as a seducer and ladies’ man in his biography Healthy Nicolas, the fallen adventurer and environmentalist sees a whole different face in the spotlight. The more days go by since women testified in Correspondent, the more accusations pile up, the more sordid details surface. So much so that the Paris prosecutor’s office decided to open an investigation, even if most of the facts are prescribed. Father of three children, the former Minister of the Ecological Transition must face the great unpacking after years of secrecy and blindness. Are PPDA and Hulot the symbols of the abuse of power and the sexual excesses of powerful men? Their fall now goes hand in hand with the embarrassment of their supporters of yesteryear.
Nicolas Hulot and Patrick Poivre d’Arvor remain presumed innocent of the accusations made against them.
