Invited on Tuesday by "Culture Médias" to present Lumni's new children's TV device, broadcast on France 4 and the Okoo platform, Alex Goude also returns to the rumors according to which he dined in Pierre-Jean Chalençon's underground restaurant at the Palais Vivienne.

Charges that he rejects.

INTERVIEW

Social networks have gone in search of the culprits.

After the revelation of alleged clandestine dinners held at the Palais Vivienne by Pierre-Jean Chalençon and chef Christophe Leroy in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, some Internet users are seeking to know the identity of the guests.

TV host Alex Goude has been accused of being one of them.

A hypothesis that he firmly rejects Tuesday in 

Culture Media

, regretting and also denouncing the hate messages he received following the publication of photos that would incriminate him.

"I caught myself in a flood of hysterical hatred. I took billions of insults," explains Alex Goude.

"Frankly, I haven't slept for three days. I cried every day. It's crazy stuff."

After briefly explaining himself on his Twitter account, the TV host specifies on Europe 1 the context of the photo where we see him seated with four other people, including Pierre-Jean Chalençon, in a setting that seems to be that of the palace Vivienne.

A meal for 5, without a chef or waiters

"A fake news last week said that I was at Pierre-Jean Chalençon's dinner, where I was not," he denies.

"The photo is several months old, I was at his place and we ate a meal, disgusting in addition, recovered in click-and-collect in a restaurant downstairs from his house."

According to Alex Goude, it is a professional meal taken several months ago in a small committee, which has nothing to do with the accusations of an underground restaurant which targets Pierre-Jean Chalençon and Christophe Leroy.

"There were five of us at dinner, because Pierre-Jean Chalençon wanted to do a Napoleon exhibition in Las Vegas. So nothing to do with sauerkraut," he says.

"I've never been to a paid dinner at his place with a chef and waiters. Never."

The TV host regrets the outburst of hatred on social networks following the dissemination of this photo.

"I find that we are still living a rather violent period," he observes.

"Today, everyone reacts quickly to the slightest thing. There really is no hindsight. We are in a society that is really freaking out."

Alex Goude was not worried by justice.
