This confrontation follows the withdrawal of Sébastien Cauet
from the NRJ antenna since November 2023. Indeed, the one who officiated a season as a columnist for Cyril Hanouna, is accused by several women of sexual assault and rape.
Cauet was forced to lay off numerous employees with whom he worked within his production company, Be Aware Radio, a company with which he produced his show.C’Cauet on NRJ” daily between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“A unilateral decision”
In court, Ivana and Valmont’s dad explained that he was “came to defend my businesses and my employees”. Maître Frédéric Lamoureux, the television man’s lawyer denounces “a unilateral decision” And “devoid of legal basis“.
For their part, the radio station’s lawyers explained that they had no other choice given the seriousness of the accusations against Sébastien Cauet.
Listeners would have asked for the star host to be removed
Maître Thierry Marembert recalled that the program by Cauet and his team represented “44% of the cumulative audience” on music radio. However, according to the latter, many listeners would have requested the removal of Nathalie Dartois’ companion. “If NRJ had kept this program on the air, its image would have been deeply damaged.. It’s a situation we have to endure.”
An argument which does not hold up for the host and his lawyer since they specify that the podcasts of the shows remained online and available after the withdrawal.
Sébastien Cauetwish this business could continue.” The judgment is expected for May 7, in the meantime, the facts with which he is accused remain presumed.
