Friday January 27, 2023, a survey of the magazine Here is revealed the dark side of one of TF1’s flagship presenters. Questioned by former collaborators who bring testimony against him, accusing him in particular of moral harassment, Denis Brogniart is going through a difficult period. Under the smile of the presenter of Koh-Lanta or Ninja Warrior, would hide, according to the weekly, an odious character with often inappropriate behavior with women. And, according to our colleagues, on the first channel, everyone knew! “Everyone knows that Denis Brogniart is capable of humiliating anger in public, especially with women“, Reports a union official from TF1 in the columns of the magazine. “Denis abused a lot of people. Most don’t dare talk about it because they work at TF1 and are afraid of losing their jobs. Channel executives know it, they should stop it from doing harm, but they don’t do anything”, can we read again. A situation of omerta which is reminiscent of that enjoyed by Patrick Poivre d’Arvor for years within this same chain. But in front of the successes of hearing, the backs round visibly easily.

“I collapsed. I was shaking all over my body”
Following these revelations, the collective Femmes Journalistes de Sport published a press release on Twitter supporting its fellow victims of moral harassment by Denis Brogniart. This press release names three women. Charlotte Namura-Guizonne who would have been copiously insulted by the host, in 2018, when she was a columnist on the Mag set, during the Football World Cup. The latter would have told her that she was “ that a shit, just good to smile“. Which upset the young woman who admits: “Fairafterwards, I went to the bathroom and collapsed. I was shaking all over my body.”Anne-Laure Bonnet, former collaborator of Denis Brogniart on Automoto between 2008 and 2009 confides that the latter is humanly unmanageable even if he is a great pro:“About work, Denis is a great pro, I learned a lot with him, but humanly, it was very difficult. He does not support the co-presentation and throws mad rages with his subordinates. It is the very prototype of the weak person with the powerful and powerful with the weak.” she explains. Finally, Marion Jolles-Grosjean who confesses to having lived with the sports journalist “the worst memory of his career” so he could be odious.
The collective Femmes Journalistes de Sport concludes its press release with these words: “Media managers must imperatively take all measures to ensure that violence at work stops. This cannot go on any longer.” For his part, the host attempted a mea culpa with the people magazine to whom he sent this message: “I am very committed, a perfectionist and on the occasion of two live broadcasts on TF1, where the pressure is very intense, I had words that went beyond my thoughts, remarks that offended some people and I regret it. Nothing justifies my behavior, which followed certain difficulties. These isolated facts do not reflect the privileged relationships based on respect and goodwill that I maintain with the technical and editorial teams of the programs in which I have participated for 30 years. I would like to apologize to anyone I may have hurt. Denis Brogniart.“
