Everything can change in a matter of minutes. Gilles Verdez learned it the hard way on the set of Do not touch My TV this Wednesday, March 30. While the team was discussing the indictment of a farmer from Longré who killed one of the four burglars who tried to enter his home in the presence of his three-year-old daughter, Gilles Verdez confirmed that in the eyes of the legislation in force , a heavy sentence could be pronounced against the shooter.
Fatou’s companion then expressed his opinion that condemning the father of the family was completely normal after his gesture, even if the latter may have simply wanted to defend himself and protect his child. What he did not know then was that this assertive speech was going to turn against him. Cyril Hanouna, himself father of Bianca, 11 years old and Lino, 9 years old, simply came out of his hinges listening to Gilles Verdez’s speech: “Stop a little ! You have gone crazy! But what a jerk! What a jerk, I swear. Stopped ! Stop, you’re a jerk! Stop talking bullshit! You are completely delusional.“
What the host of TPMP did not understand, is that Gilles Verdez, whom he described as “crazy”, does not put himself in the place of the farmer indicted, father of a three-year-old girl, and that He shows no compassion for her. Cyril Hanouna was not the only one to think so. Matthieu Delormeau also attacked Gilles Verdez, with whom he had already clashed the day before: “What is very serious in what you say is that he was with his children so that means that you Gilles, you would not have defended your 3-year-old daughter against criminals who come home? What would you have done? You would have picked up the phone ‘Do not leave, we want the police’? What would Gilles have done to you? You would have taken the risk that your 3-year-old daughter could be killed? But you are a monster!“
Géraldine Maillet also added a layer: “Are you delusional or are you drunk, I don’t know, but there is a real problem Gilles. At 2 a.m., when there are burglars coming into your house while your 3-year-old daughter is sleeping, you’re going to say to the four guys ‘Wait a second, we’re going to settle down in the living room. Why exactly are you coming? […] Are you going to gag us?” Despite all these oppositions, Gilles Verdez received the support of Guillaume Genton, who rather agreed with the arguments of his colleague: “That’s no reason to kill them“. Despite this, Gilles Verdez must have felt very lonely. He who, the day before, was praised by his boss and designated as one of the best columnists on the show, was entitled to his trial.
