In volume 2 released last week of “Olé Osé” bringing together “very raw, unpublished and forbidden songs”, the former host of the public group dedicated a piece to “Delphine”.
“Delphine, if you had known my cock, we would have been so happy,” he intones. A chorus adding: “he would have stayed on France 2”.
The newspaper Le Parisien announced on Monday a complaint from Delphine Ernotte Cunci for sexist and sexual outrage against Patrick Sébastien, the filing of which was confirmed by France Télévisions to AFP.
Tuesday on RTL, the Minister responsible for Equality between women and men also denounced “disgusting comments”.
The boss of France Télé "was right" to "file a complaint so as not to let it pass also on behalf of all the women who suffer this type of attacks", added Aurore Bergé.
Patrick Sébastien is angry with Delphine Ernotte Cunci for having ousted him. “For years in public service, everything went wonderfully”, until his arrival in 2015, declared the former presenter of the show “The Greatest Cabaret in the World” in March before the commission of inquiry into public broadcasting.
Ms Ernotte Cunci "chose to make the TV she wanted in relation to her own ideas" but "she is president, not owner of the public service", said Patrick Sébastien.
Questioned by RTL, he accepted this song: "I knew very well in this song that I was in excess. It's total and voluntary excess."
