The soap opera Yann Moix continues. Saturday night, the writer was the guest of Laurent Ruquier, during the show "On un couché", on France 2. Yann Moix reacted to the controversy surrounding his book Orleans , in which he accuses his father of abuse but also to the revelation of his antisemitic texts and youth drawings. And for Laurent Telo, a journalist at Le Monde and Jérôme Dupuis, Grand reporter at the Express , there was "a form of manipulation" during this show. These two fine connoisseurs of the "Moix dossier", authors of several revelations about the writer, were on Monday the guests of Media Culture, on Europe 1.
"There was no contradiction in this show"
On the show, Yann Moix asked again for forgiveness about these drawings of youth. As a reminder, this is a set of antisemitic texts and drawings and negationists published in a magazine craft in the years 89-90, when the writer was 21 years old, and revealed last week by the Express . Jews are drawn there playing guitar in front of crematoria or masturbating in front of corpses, and the existence of gas chambers is questioned. On France 2, Yann Moix held once again to "ask for forgiveness". "The young man I was at the time, I would not have shaken his hand today," he said.
For Jérôme Dupuis, Yann Moix "has every right to ask forgiveness for a mistake of youth". "The problem is that the show did not give the elements to give him forgiveness.We witnessed a form of manipulation on the set of Laurent Ruquier", adds the journalist of L'Express . "There was no contradiction in this broadcast," he laments again.
Ditto for Laurent Telo, who was waiting for "a moment of the show, we can put a little trouble." "What will never happen, at any time," insists journalist Le Monde , which still highlights the intervention of columnist Adele Van Reeth, who found that the words of Yann Moix did not allow to separate the true false in the different polemics.
"Yann Moix's red carpet from start to finish"
"Laurent Ruquier said in the show that 'we are not in court.' He is right, but we are not at the Cannes Film Festival where we had to roll out the red carpet to Yann Moix from beginning to end. ", tackle Laurent Telo. "On two occasions, he was questioned about his links with Paul Eric Blanru (controversial essayist known for his defense of Holocaust denialists, Ed.) He never responded and was not relaunched", points out for example the journalist of the world.
Another "problem" raised by Jerome Dupuy: the use of the term "comics" about the anti-Semitic writings of young Yann Moix. "In an hour, it was used 19 times, in politics, it's called an element of language, but on the 100 pages of documents, there are five pages of comics, and the rest are caricatures. no time, we talked about the texts, it's still a problem. "
"Laurent Ruquier almost interviewed his employee"
The Grand reporter to the Express also recalls that Yann Moix was, for three years, "the sniper of the show". In addition, the writer animates on Paris Première the show "Chez Moix", produced by ... Catherine Barma, also producer of the show of Laurent Ruquier. "Psychologically, he is at home. [...] Laurent Ruquier almost interviewed his employee is still incredible," said Jerome Dupuy.
In Le Monde , Laurent Telo reveals that a crisis meeting was held shortly before the broadcast at the headquarters of France Télévisions. "It took place around the number 2 of France TV.It turned quite short," says the reporter on Europe 1. The channel has indeed a contractual relationship with the production of the show, saying it does not has no right of inspection over the guests. "The standoff could have taken place but they chose to put the responsibility for the choice of guests to the producer.The chain has given way," said Laurent Telo.
As revealed by Europe 1, the channel will also have to broadcast a right of reply from Yann Moix's brother, Alexandre Moix. The writer has suspected Saturday on the set of ONPC his brother to be close to the far right and to be at the origin of the leak of antisemitic drawings. For more info on this, read our article here.
