After the controversy sparked by Alex Goude on the TPMP set, the host calls for an end to anonymity on social networks. The columnist spoke in the columns of “Marie France”. We reveal everything to you!
At the beginning of October, Alex Goude, new columnist for Do not touch My TV, sparked a lively controversy on the Web. Indeed, the one who recently joined Cyril Hanouna’s team had the bad idea of put a hand on Valérie Benaim’s buttocks, live. A gesture which did not go unnoticed and which aroused the anger of Internet users. If some denounce a “sexual assault” live on television, the host justified himself by indicating that this was not the case since he is not “on the same side”.
This gesture, quickly excused by Valérie Benaim, caused her to receive numerous messages, rather negative, on her social networks. Despite himself, the columnist therefore experienced cyberharassment. Shocked by what he experienced, Alex Goude spoke in the columns of Marie-France, this Thursday, October 27. Asked about his state after the controversy, Alex Goude replied: “I feel better… I took the toxicity of social media upon myself and I’m a bit used to it since it was similar to what I had already experienced when I came out…”.

Alex Goude calls for an end to anonymity on social networks
But this unfortunate episode made Alex Goude think about the many anonymous comments he received from haters. On this subject, the chronicler deplores that digital anonymity allows certain people to let off steam without any consequences. “As for the trolls, much less nice than the ones we have in the cinema at the moment, it is difficult to do anything about them… the only thing would be that we FINALLY stop anonymity on social networks so that this gratuitous violence stops and we know who we are talking to…”, he declared to Marie-France.
Before adding: “And that homophobic insults, defamatory remarks or death threats no longer go unpunished…”. A social subject which is not without interest since online harassment is very worrying. Many public figures suffer from cyberbullying, not to mention suicides in schools. Does the government plan to react to ban anonymity on social networks? And you what do you think ?
