the high price he had to pay!

The early fans of Do not touch My TV all remember Bertrand Chameroy. This rather BCBG young man who ensured, not his regular chronicles, good humor on the set of C8. He was then one of those humorists who, like Camille Combal, Cyril Hanouna offered a media springboard, enormous popular visibility. However, in 2016, the columnist slammed the door of the studios, to the great astonishment of the public but also and especially of his Boss who did not seem at the time to take this departure very well… against a background of inglorious statements against him in the press. This Saturday March 4, 2023, Bertrand Chameroy was, alongside Philippe Caverivière, the guest of We redo the TV on RTL. And Eric Dussart did not fail to make him talk about this moment when his career changed…

“You were one of the star columnists of Do not touch My TV of Cyril Hanouna that you decided to leave in the middle of the season, in 2016, because all this media coverage… you couldn’t take it anymore?asks the presenter. “Yes, it was a lot of a sudden, I must have been 24 and on the streets, it seems crazy today, I was arrested all the time, wherever I went, with my loved ones, my family, with lots of people… And I had a lot of trouble living it, supporting it…”then explains the sidekick of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine on France 5.

“I also saw that it affected, it damaged my loved ones…”

Eric Dussart continues: “Have you ever been able to live with it?” “No, but I was young, I don’t think I was ready for this exhibition yet, and I also saw that it affected, it damaged my loved ones… and then all that plus the weariness, the fact thatI didn’t feel very happy on this show anymore…all this made me decide to leave.”, continues Bertrand Chameroy. The co-presenter, with Jade, continues the journey of his guest: “After TPMP, you bounce back on W9, you find yourself squarely in charge of your own program “OFNI” in prime time, it only lasts a year… Today, you want to present a program again on your own ?”The columnist admits: “Yes, provided that it is something that suits me and that I do not redo the mistakes that I do not want to reproduce but it suits me very well for the moment the chronicle. Eric Dussart then arrives at the key moment in the career of Bertrand Chameroy: “After W9, you do radio, you even go back to TPMP for a few days at the start of the 2018 school year,and then for two years, nothing…You completely withdraw from the media circuit…” immediately taken up by the latter: “Or they took me out too! At the beginning, we live it quite well and then when time passes and we realize that no one answers, even people with whom we have worked in the past, do not answer text messages, refuse you or leave. don’t care about drinking coffee, I started to think to myself “Okay, maybe I’ll move on… what am I going to do now? Because I had no Plan B, no other idea… it wasn’t the easiest time.” The host of RTL concludes by throwing a perch on the hard “laws” of audiovisual: “The look of the professionals changes in fact when you are on the carousel, very watched, very followed, there the telephone rings constantly and then afterwards, it almost becomes somewhat awkward friendships to be with people who are no longer on the air… is that it?” And the 34-year-old columnist confesses his despair at the time: “I felt like I was typecast as the black cat.He, in any case, you shouldn’t talk to him, not call him, because he’s beating down the hearings, he doesn’t do anything anymore… Yes, we find ourselves quite alone!
