This Wednesday, January 5, the chroniclers of Touche pas à mon poste debated on the controversy surrounding Gims’ remarks on the New Year. A subject which gave rise to a violent take-up of arms between Gilles Verdez, Matthieu Delormeau and Benjamin Castaldi .
It is a subject which divides enormously. This Saturday, January 1, in a video posted on his Instagram account, the rapper Gims at asked his fans not to wish him happy new year, for religious reasons. “Please with the ‘happy new year’, ‘new year’ leave me with that. You know I never answered that, but you keep sending me ‘Happy New Years’ throughout January and February. In addition, the muslims, we have the same convictions. Stop with that! It’s not bad, but let’s still be strong on our values, our own things. Christmas etc, we respect but it is not our holidays “, he declared. Words which made a lot of reaction, including certain political personalities.
This is for example the case of Valerie Pécresse. The LR presidential candidate, who has had strong links with the artists for a few years, spoke about the controversy on the set of C to you this Tuesday, January 4. In particular, she expressed her indignation and declared that for her, Gims’ words could be assimilated to “communitarianism”. The president of the Île-de-France region added that she had contacted the singer to share his dissatisfaction.
This speech by Valérie Pécresse was not to everyone’s taste, including some chroniclers of Do not touch My TV. Among them, Gilles Verdez who wanted to say everything he thought of the words of the politician. “For political reasons, she calls Gims and she pretends to be indignant. It was when popular pressure was strong that she reacted. I do not find it worthy of a presidential candidate “, he said this Wednesday, January 5. A position that annoyed two other chroniclers, Matthieu Delormeau and Benjamin Castaldi. “You say a lot of nonsense, and often very serious “, thus launched him the first. The second then wanted to take over but he was quickly reprimanded by Gilles Verdez: “You were there, as usual you didn’t say anything, so keep going! “. A task that caused hilarity around the set.
Matthieu Delormeau: “You piss us off Gilles!”
A few minutes later, Gilles Verdez continued to defend Gims against a young influencer from the Patriots movement. “He has convictions, he expresses them. He practices the Muslim religion as he wishes. Leave him alone! “, he got carried away. Words that once again provoked the anger of Matthieu Delormeau, finding his colleague’s tone too vehement. “You piss us off Gilles! “, told him the former host of So true. To which Gilles Verdez replied: “You Delormeau, you start to inflate me. The La Redoute replacement mannequin that we put on page 687 because no one is going to read the entire catalog, you are going to shut your mouth! “, he violently assaulted.
This spat continued for a while, Matthieu Delormeau criticizing in particular Gilles Verdez for being “cantankerous and bitter”. Benjamin Castaldi also tried to get involved in the verbal jousting but he too had to face a “shut up” from the former journalist of Le Parisien. “They all get me drunk! “, concluded the latter. Cyril Hanouna finally managed to bring calm to the plateau and wanted Matthieu Delormeau and Gilles Verdez to make peace. The 57-year-old columnist, not really resentful, then agreed to bury the hatchet. “Despite everything you say, despite your huge nonsense, I love you “, he thus addressed to Matthieu Delormeau. All’s well That ends well.
