A settlement of accounts but without revealing too much. Sports journalist Anne-Laure Bonnet has taken to social networks to slip a message that leaves a certain mystery hovering. While she wanted to relay the front page of the last issue of the magazine “Society”, the host who passed through the BeIN Sports and Téléfoot channels wrote a message which appealed to more than one. “The last time I tweeted the front page of Society, they threatened to fire me… Now that I’m finally free from all perverts, I can start over“, blurted out this polyglot.
If no details are delivered on the “pervert” in question, many Internet users have judged that it was the sports commentator Alexandre Ruiz. The latter had left BeIN Sports on March 22, 2021, after nine years of service. According to information from Mediapart, the 46-year-old journalist did not leave on his own, but was sanctioned by the management following sexist remarks and a climate of terror established within the editorial staff. Anyway, Alexandre Ruiz found it necessary to respond on Twitter in order to deliver his truth following the message of his ex colleague Anne-Laure Bonnet. “Dear all, The amalgamation has lasted too long. And the slander must finally end. I hope that the truth, that concerning my resignation, will find light. In the meantime and as a reminder, I was not the hierarchical superior of my colleague Anne-Laure Bonnet “, he wrote.

Dear all,
The amalgams have lasted too long.
And the slander must finally end.
I hope that the truth, that concerning my resignation, will find light.
In the meantime and as a reminder, I was not the hierarchical superior of my colleague Anne-Laure Bonnet. https://t.co/waynJjG4w3– Alexandre Ruiz (@alexandreruiz) December 2, 2021
