Tense atmosphere in France, even on television sets. The invitation of actor Mathieu Kassovitz to the show “Les Grandes Gueules” on RMC quickly turned sour on Thursday. Known for his strong character, the actor stamped on the left first made the RMC BFM group face its responsibilities for the vindictiveness suffered by journalists in the field.
“You have a discourse that is increasingly to the right. You let people say openly racist things, without grilling them, without condemning them,” argued the director of “La Haine” before pointing the finger at lawyer Charles Consigny, present on the set.
In a tense but calm atmosphere, the columnist accused Kassovitz of making “defamatory” remarks before leaving the set. “Goodbye, Charles, I didn’t even know you were there,” the “Bureau of Legends” actor then laughed. “I’m past the age of being insulted by two-bit sores. Subsidized actors who give moral lessons, that doesn’t interest me,” Consigny replied. The debate was then able to continue… without the columnist.
