The internal investigation was opened in April. Three employees at the sports department of France Televisions will be dismissed, the internal investigation having highlighted facts of harassment and sexist comments, the audiovisual group said on Friday, confirming information from L'Equipe .
A fourth employee received a reprimand. The identity of the persons concerned has not been revealed.
Harassment and sexist comments
"These decisions were taken following the conclusions of the internal investigation carried out after a testimony made public (...) reporting facts of harassment and sexist remarks", specified France Televisions.
This internal investigation was opened after the publication in L'Équipe of the testimony of Clémentine Sarlat, former co-presenter of Stade 2 , now converted into the podcast after having also worked at TF1.
"I was going to Stage 2 crying"
“I was going to Stage 2 crying,” she told the sports daily, explaining that she was marginalized on her return from maternity leave, until she decided to leave. “For the preparation of the show, no one spoke to me. They put me in a separate office, away from the editors, ”and“ I felt like a stab in the back, ”she said.
France Télévisions, which has been confronted with several cases of sexual or moral harassment since the appearance of the #MeToo movement almost three years ago, claims to apply "with the utmost rigor the principle of zero tolerance to any form of harassment , of sexist or discriminatory remarks ”.
