Two candidates from the adventure game Koh-Lanta, the island of heroes , Inès and Régis, received hate messages after Sam's elimination, during the broadcast of the last episode on Friday evening on TF1.

On a story still visible on Instagram, Inès, a 25-year-old nurse, expressed her astonishment and disappointment: "For all the messages I receive, death threats, and everything, I have the impression that I killed your mother or disrespected someone. I don't understand why it takes on such proportions and it hurts me so much to see my other friends in the adventure taking insults. "

"I was lynched on social networks"

According to several media reports, Régis, director of a sports store and father of 40, shared dozens of messages of insults and threats against him, such as "I hope your children will die" or again "I will find you and kill your daughters". Some of these threats were still visible this Sunday. In a story visible on the same social network, the candidate also shared many messages of support, such as that of Pascal Salviani, a former candidate of the show.

The presenter of the program Denis Brogniart declared "to condemn most strongly the unspeakable insults received":

I join the adventurers of #KohLanta to condemn most strongly the unspeakable insults received anonymously by some of them on social networks. You can live this adventure in front of your screen with passion and respect. @ KohLantaTF1 https://t.co/vrJ5GABycv

Ahmad, another candidate this season, eliminated two weeks ago, also received a torrent of insults and threats. “I was lynched on social media. I was massacred by the character I represented, ”he lamented to 20 Minutes .

“I digested elimination quickly and widely. What I rather have left across my throat is to have lost the immunity test, ”Sam explained in our columns on Friday.
