A key figure in medical popularization on television and radio, Doctor Jimmy Mohamed finds himself in a delicate situation. At the helm of France 5’s “Health Magazine” and regular columnist for France 2’s “8 p.m.”, the host faces serious accusations of domestic violence made publicly by his wife, Souilla Mohamed.
Last Sunday, the former midwife broke her silence for the second time by publishing several explicit messages on her Instagram account. A few months ago, she denounced acts of psychological violence, which at the time remained without response from the doctor.
This time, the accusations are accompanied by photos of her arms covered in hematomas and bruises, dating according to her from December 11, 2025. Without explicitly naming her husband, from whom she is now requesting a divorce, she directly links these physical injuries to this marital situation and also evokes a cyberharassment campaign made up of insults and threats.
Unease at France Télévisions
At France Télévisions, the unease is palpable. Behind the scenes, consultations continued. Florent Dumont, director of the group’s magazines, spoke repeatedly with the host and his producer, Benoît Thevenet. Although Jimmy Mohamed vigorously contests the veracity of these facts with his management, precautionary measures have been decided by mutual agreement.
As a result, his participation next Friday in Laurent Delahousse’s “8 p.m.” was canceled. However, in the absence of a formal complaint being filed at this stage, Jimmy Mohamed would have refused to completely withdraw from his functions. On the RTL side, management has made the opposite choice by maintaining its regular on-air interventions for the moment.
This crisis comes as the “Health Magazine” must switch from France 5 to France 2 at the start of the school year in September, with a new duo at its helm composed of Flavie Flament and Jimmy Mohamed. The host, herself a major figure in the fight against sexual assault in France, is said to be experiencing this situation extremely badly behind the scenes. As a result, France Télévisions finds itself faced with a huge headache.
