“One of my editors" had fun "for several years between my 20/21 years and my 24/25 years presuming my sexual orientation and then mocking it publicly every day. "
This Sunday, on Twitter, the journalist Tiffany Henne testified of her experience in the sports department of an editorial office where she worked in the past. In particular, she recounted the “worst” moment of the moral harassment of which she was the target.
Sometimes he would come and land next to me: "Oh come on, sure you want to hit X (another colleague of the editorial staff), she too likes girls it shows" or "But when are you going to tell us that you like chicks? "

(…) I don't know how long it lasted but very embarrassed I ended up saying “Yes I like girls I have lots of friends. He said, "Perfect, I have what I need, I will cut the end," she wrote.
"I begged not to give his name. I had to do it ”
The sports reporter, who now works at RMC Sports, says she ended up speaking in an interview with new management. "They must have pulled the worms from my nose and I begged not to give his name. I had to do it. I begged him not to have a penalty, I knew it was going to fall on me. He took a warning, ”says Tiffany Henne. However, the editor did not apologize. "He was continuing the public attacks but it was different. "I'm no longer kidding or there will be some who will throw me in the direction", etc., "laments the young woman.
A few hours later, Andréa Decaudin, columnist in the "benevolent" editorial staff of Télé Matin , also gave her testimony of her time in the sports department of another employer. "You're no longer useful to us, so go get us some coffee", would have launched him an editor who, during an annual interview, would have criticized him for not being "normal" and for not having "the right mindset ". Words that hurt his self-esteem.
