"The hour is serious," launches mockingly Cyril Hanouna in a video posted this Wednesday noon on his Instagram account.

Sitting at his desk, the host of

Touche not at my post

intends to respond to the "pressure stroke" he says he received from TF1.

“We still have problems with [the channel].

(…) Freedom of expression doesn't speak to them, ”he says.

The presenter then takes his smartphone in hand to read the press release “We are very attached to the right to parody and criticism.

But we do not want our collaborators or employees to be the object of insults, threats or victims of harassment.

It is time for repeated warnings and sanctions, in particular from the CSA and the judiciary, to bring about a change in the behavior of Cyril Hanouna.

And we hope that the Endemol / Banijay group of which Cyril Hanouna belongs and of which he is a director, as well as the C8 channel, invite him to stop these acts of characterized harassment.

"

“Thank you for your letter, because you still took the time to write a letter, all that…”, then answers the host of C8 before claiming his right to “parody”.

"We will continue to make fun of all the broadcasts," he warns.

, TF1 specifies not to have sent a letter directly to Cyril Hanouna.

The text read by the host was sent by the channel to our colleagues at

TV Magazine

on the occasion of an article posted on Tuesday evening and devoted to a controversial sequence broadcast in

TPMP on

Monday.

The C8 show mocked Arthur and the declining audiences of the new show he is producing,

District Z

, which launched in December on TF1.

In a crass parody of The

Professional's

final scene

- where the character played by Belmondo is executed before he can get on a helicopter - it's Arthur who finds himself targeted by the sniper.

When the detonation is heard, the poster diverted from the feature film appears: the title "The Professional" is replaced by "The Amateur".

This sequence aroused, as

TV Magazine

notes

, a large number of indignant reactions.

There was little doubt that this sketch of questionable taste once again fuels the feud between Cyril Hanouna and Arthur which has continued, with some lulls, since 2013. The last significant episode dated back to August, when the two men met. publicly slashed on social networks, with scathing tweets.

In the video posted this Wednesday, Cyril Hanouna believes that the reproaches made to his show are linked to the growing audiences: “When

TPMP

had 700,000 viewers [at the start of the season], we weren't looking for noises.

"

However, the star C8 presenter is at loggerheads with a large number of personalities from the small screen.

It's been several months since the house figures of TF1 no longer go to the

Touche

plateau

.

And since December 18, M6 has suspended the participation of its hosts in Cyril Hanouna's talk show.

The sixth channel protested against "particularly denigrating remarks made against Karine Le Marchand in the program", adding that "the treatment [which is] inflicted on her and the remarks made about her (...) are unjustified and go beyond the acceptable framework.
