Nicolas Hulot had chosen to anticipate the broadcast of a report by
Special Envoy
in which four women accuse him of sexual assault and harassment.
He had denounced, on BFMTV against Bruce Toussaint, a desire to transform “the principle of presumption of innocence into presumption of guilt” on the part of journalists of “public abuse”.
Elise Lucet, in charge of the program, answered him transparently.
The journalist denied on the set of

to have made an investigation to charge.
Accompanied by Virginie Vilar, the director of the report, Elise Lucet assured to be in contact with Nicolas Hulot and his lawyers since “November 9 very precisely” in order to allow him to respond to the accusations on which the team investigated for four years.
Refusal
Nicolas Hulot, through his legal advisers, wanted to know the identity of the women testifying against him, explained Elise Lucet.
A request to which she did not comply, the accusers having "clearly asked to protect their identities and not to reveal them before the show".
"Tell journalists who are simply doing their job, collecting testimonies, journalistic verification of cross-checking, of contradictory, who offer Mr. Hulot an interview, who offer his lawyers an interview, if that is not journalism and if we are accused of making a media tribunal, I do not understand. It's not a tribunal, it's called a journalistic investigation, ”she added.
At the announcement of this report, the host and actress Maureen Dor wrote a letter in which she accuses Nicolas Hulot of having "jumped on her" when she was "18 years old in 1989". "I am sincerely sorry for Mr. Hulot's daughter who will discover that her father is not the hero or the man of integrity that she was entitled to hope for, but I am even more sorry for all the women who have her. learned in pain and with their unwillingness (…). Between her and them, I chose them. Because they are also me. And that, it took me a long time to realize it, ”writes Maureen Dor, in her letter published by France Info.
Nicolas Hulot, against whom a complaint for rape had been dismissed in 2008 because of prescription, denounced "false accusations" against Bruce Toussaint and chose to leave "definitively public life".
