Jean-Jacques Bourdin breaks the silence.

" Hello everyone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the countless messages I receive.

We miss you, you tell me, I miss you too…”, tweeted this Sunday the host who had not spoken since his sidelining of BFMTV and RMC.

Targeted by a complaint for sexual assault, he was dismissed at the end of January "temporarily" from the antenna by the parent company of the two media, Altice, which made him protest against a "unilateral decision".

“This temporary withdrawal from the antenna will prevent political and media manipulation of this affair.

The group recalls that Jean-Jacques Bourdin vigorously disputes the facts denounced and benefits from the presumption of innocence, “said Altice in a press release.

"I dispute the facts of which I am accused"

“Jean-Jacques Bourdin, at the request of management, is temporarily withdrawing from the antennas of BFMTV and RMC.

This decision was taken so as not to harm” their “daily functioning”, the group had specified.

The journalist disagreed.

"I regret the Group's unilateral decision," he wrote in a statement sent by his lawyer.

“I remind you that I dispute the facts with which I am accused and deplore that the principle of the presumption of innocence is ignored”.
