Nothing is going right between the animator and the producer. After Catherine Barma last week, it's Laurent Ruquier's turn to settle his accounts. In an interview with M, the magazine of the World , he described the behavior of his former collaborator as "rude, pathetic, and cowardly".

After the announcement of the judgment of On is not lying on France 2, the producer did not hide her grievances towards the host. In particular, she is asking him to pay part of the severance pay for the employees affected by the termination of the program. But Laurent Ruquier is far from being of this opinion.

"His hypocrisy, his cowardice, his venality"

"She asked me to share the cost of dismissing a plethora of staff which I have never asked for to be hired, except three of them!" She even puts her family members to work! "He explains, before adding:" Was it my fault that it was my ideas that allowed his company to profitably grow? Is it my fault that the other shows she produced are no longer on the air? Is it up to me to bear the costs of a production company unable to extend other shows than the ones I host? I should have believed Frédéric Lopez and Thierry Ardisson: with her, it can only end badly. "

Determined not to let it go, Laurent Ruquier does not rule out settling this before a judge. “At the end of these twenty years, I would have liked to be able to say thank you. His hypocrisy, his cowardice, his venality prevent me. If she wants justice to be involved one day, we will settle this in the courts, ”says the presenter.
