These are words that have spilled a lot of ink on the Web. Wednesday December 16, 2020, Jean-Michel Maire had Karine Le Marchand in the viewfinder during the filming of the show Do not touch My TV. Indeed, the columnist decided to tackle the host, accusing him of not having paid for beauty treatments in a famous Parisian clinic using his celebrity. "A few days ago, I was in a well-known beauty clinic in the Champs-Elysées district. Like all VIPs, the management offered him a substantial reduction of 30% " he said, before continuing "When it comes time to pay she says: 'JI'm Karine Le Marchand, I'm not going to pay, you see that with the boss! And she left … ".
A speech that did not fail to make the interested party react on social networks "Lies, harassment … No comment … " said the presenter, supported by the director of the said clinic, but also by M6. The chain has moreover took a radical decision, which quickly made Cyril Hanouna react.

Appalled by the multiple attacks against Karine Le Marchand, the direction of M6 wanted to react to the controversy. "For many months, particularly disparaging remarks are made against Karine Le Marchand in the program 'Touche pas à mon poste' broadcast on C8. (…) The comments made about him in recent weeks, especially in the broadcast of Wednesday, December 16, 2020, are unjustified and go beyond the acceptable framework" she said, before announcing a radical decision "M6 strongly condemns this attitude of regular and repeated questioning, and suspends from this day all participation in 'Touche pas à mon poste'. M6 will be extremely vigilant as for comments made to the channel and its hosts, reserving the right, if applicable, to initiate proceedings against C8 or H2O (the production company, editor's note)". Cyril Hanouna, host and producer of the show, wanted to calm things down on Twitter "Just don't forget that TPMP is a program that judges the emissions and we are often more tender with M6 than with C8. But know that I don't blame you and there really is a lot more to life right now"he said, perhaps in the hope that this decision is only provisional.
Just don't forget that @TPMP is a show that judges the shows and we are often more tender with @ M6 what with @ C8TV. But know that I don't blame you and there really is much more to life right now. Happy end of the year @ M6 and long live the darka ? https://t.co/GzqUbC8xcL
