On August 15, BFMTV broadcast the interview of a student who shared his difficult situation partly due to student precariousness. Pierre Niney went there with his somewhat dubious little joke on Twitter, triggering a wave of indignation. “When I tell you he’s the best character actor“, he commented under the video of the student who denounced his precariousness. Indeed, the one who lent his features to the character of Yves Saint Laurent in the cinema, was amused by the physical resemblance of the young man with Leonardo Di Caprio.
A bitter remark that made many Internet users scream. “50-year-old rich Pierre Niney wants to teach us what it is to be a precarious student ok brother”, “Genre Pierre Niney has nothing better to do than make fun of a precarious student on Twitter”, “his is life so shitty?”, “Since its publication, the excerpt from this student’s interview has been massively taken up and everyone goes there with his little remark about his physique, but we were missing Pierre’s blagounette Niney!“, lamented some.
Faced with general indignation, Pierre Niney held today, Wednesday August 17, to give his version of the facts and above all to apologize. “Like a moron I had not even looked at the subject of the report. But just saw the thumbnail with this man’s face and tweeted way too fast. No desire to be indecent or hurtful.“, he tweeted.
A message that still convinced some of his admirers. “Why was I sure you hadn’t even watched the video? I knew very well that you meant absolutely no harm. It was just a valve that had nothing to do with the basic subject but people love to do drama too much for nothing here.”, “Ah well anyway. Really, 1st degree. It’s rare people who apologize. Must appreciate.”, “My boyfriend and I saw the same report and made the same remark, except that we did not need to justify ourselves because we were alone. Sad to be constantly forced to justify themselves. Making a joke like this doesn’t take anything away from the seriousness of the subject.“, can we read among the comments left after the answer of the comedian.
