Estelle Denis commented on Argentina’s victory over France in the World Cup final on Sunday, December 18, 2022. She did not appreciate seeing Lionel Messi lift the trophy with a “bathrobe” at all. Only, his comment is not passed at all.
Estelle Denis does not have her tongue in her close and is known for speaking her mind. This is what she did again on BFMTV, Sunday, December 18, 2022, when she commented on Argentina’s victory over France in the World Cup final. If she is today at the head of a general news program on RMC, she has long hosted sports programs. Upon discovering the footage of the Argentine players lifting the cup, she couldn’t help but comment on Lionel Messi’s outfit. In effect, the Paris Saint-Germain player wore a bisht, a ceremonial habit in the Arab world. “But what a waste… It’s magnificent but to see him in a bathrobe, excuse me, lifting a World Cup while he has the Argentina jersey that we don’t see“, thus launched the former companion of Raymond Domenech, very angry.
“It’s the first time he’s won the World Cup with the Argentina shirt and you can’t see the Argentina shirt, there’s something wrong“, she continued. An opinion shared by the former commentator of the channel Canal +, Stéphane Guy. “They were inventing something again. There Fifa is very tolerant, when there is a rainbow armband it is very complicated but when you have to put local tinsel there it works“, he lamented.
Some Internet users felt that Estelle Denis had made racist remarks
Only, immediately many Internet users expressed their anger. They did not at all appreciate the comment deemed inappropriate byEstelle Denis. Some assured that she had made racist remarks. “The Racism World Cup will be organized in 2023 in France. Guest star? Estelle Denis“, “Freewheel. Estelle Denis totally freewheeling“, “Estelle Denis, doctor of bathrobes“, “The Emir of Qatar puts a thawb on Messi to symbolize his victory, show the respect that the country grants him and celebrate his victory and Estelle Denis talks about bathrobe […] What contempt“, “Seriously Estelle Denis realizes how ridiculous she is to follow the delusions of Stéphane Guy?“, could we read in particular on Twitter.
Like many French people, Estelle Denis thrilled during this World Cup final. Initially dejected after the first half of the Blues, she smiled again when she discovered Kylian Mbappé’s double which allowed Didier Deschamps’ players to go up in score. However, the end of the game did not work in favor of the France team and in the end they failed to achieve the feat of winning a second World Cup in a row. Despite everything, the French are proud of the players.
