Julien Pichené, with Solène Delinger
On the occasion of his return to the antenna of “Sud Radio” for new political interviews, Jean-Jacques Bourdin granted an exclusive interview to our colleagues from “Figaro” Monday August 28, 2023. An interview in which he returns to the very first time on his eviction from BFMTV.
Jean-Jacques Bourdin would have liked to stay at BFMTV, where he was the morning star with his famous 8:30 political interview. Fourteen months after his eviction, the journalist returned for the first time to this affair. In an interview with Le Figaro, he said he was “marked” and “bruised” by the way his departure took place.
“Audience has dropped”
He regrets the lack of support from management, before specifying that he has turned the page and that he does not want to settle accounts. But, the journalist nevertheless noted this: “When I launched the big political interview, we had exceptional market shares. Since then, the audience has dropped”.
Jean-Jacques Bourdin dismissed following accusations of sexual assault
It should be noted that even if the case was closed without further action, it was after accusations of sexual assault by Fanny Agostini, former weather presenter of the channel, that Jean-Jacques Bourdin had been dismissed.
