It only took a week after the show's return for L'Heure des Pros to cause a huge reaction on social networks. The fault lies with the writer Richard Millet, guilty of a total slip-up on the sexual orientation of Lucie Castets (NFP)…

The week could have ended calmly. In any case, in L'Heure des Pros on CNews, the first news channel in France. Because calm is never real, him, on X… After the intervention of Richard Millet, writer, on the subject of Lucie Castets, described as "sexually incorrect", Internet users are up in arms. Pascal Praud was forced to clarify the situation

« Richard Millet is said to have thoughts that he does not have. You only have to listen to the sequence in its entirety to be convinced of this." writes the journalist and moderator of the most popular morning show

Richard Millet will be asked to explain himself after his surprising sentence: " Who is this woman? She is a stranger, sexually incorrect, in addition, all that goes together, and who is left-wing, it is not possible"…

Pascal Praud is surprised and asks him for explanations. The writer tries to explain his shocking remarks but drowns in explanations: " We choose an unknown, it's almost a construction, she is 40 years old, she is not bad, she is sexually well oriented according to the standards of the new world"

Before concluding : " When we are in a political logic of this kind, it is a plus, that is what I mean«

Comments that offend the majority on X, so attacks are pouring in against the writer. We can notably remember the acerbic tweet from the PFC senator of Hauts-de-Seine, Pierre Ouzoulias: "Richard Millet is not content with being homophobic. He is also the author of an essay entitled "Literary Praise of Anders Breivik", in which he praises the far-right terrorist who killed 77 people in the summer of 2011 in Norway. Disgusting«

The Envoyé Spécial report broadcast Thursday evening on France 2 continues to provoke reactions within the political class. This report, filmed in Montargis (Loiret), with a view to the legislative elections, highlighted a tense neighborhood situation involving supporters of the National Rally (RN)

In an interview published on Saturday June 22 in La Voix du Nord, Marine Le Pen, RN candidate in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais, defended the comments made by a white couple of RN sympathizers towards their neighbor, a black caregiver, Divine Kinkela. The couple used the expression “go to the doghouse”, which Marine Le Pen does not consider racist. She criticizes the Envoyé Spécial report, calling the program "ultra-politicized on the far left" and criticizes the media for not reporting that Divine Kinkela is, according to her, a communist activist with pan-African supremacist beliefs

Marine Le Pen goes on to say that "the question is whether 'go to your niche' is not a popular expression of people who hate each other." She emphasizes that the interpretation of these remarks as being racist is linked to the skin color of the victim, which she finds scandalous. She concludes by accusing the report of leading public opinion to believe that the RN's coming to power would lead to racist behavior

The report shows Divine Kinkela, living in France for 30 years, suffering insults from her neighbors. The man of the couple accuses “the Mustapha, the whatever you want” of “not respecting the customs of France”. His companion, whose face is blurred, takes the caregiver to task by telling her: “We do what we want, we are at home. Go to the doghouse!"

This June 21, 2024, the Montargis public prosecutor's office announces that it has taken action following the broadcast of an episode of the flagship program “Envoyé Spécial”, as part of the early legislative elections of June 30 and July 7. The extract in question is the one which shows a couple of supporters of the National Rally covering their neighbor with racist insults: Divine Kinekela, a black caregiver. The couple allegedly threw insults at him like “bonobo” or “we’re at home, go to the doghouse” followed by monkey noises

In a press release, the public prosecutor Jean-Cédric Graux justifies his decision: “The words and behaviors observed could be criminalized as public and non-public insults of a racial nature, public provocation to discrimination and violence without incapacity of a racial nature, the Montargis public prosecutor's office took up these facts” The latter also specifies that the maximum penalty incurred is three years' imprisonment and 45 euros
