Cyril Hanouna's Trial for Public Insults Against Deputy Louis Boyard Postponed

The trial has been rescheduled to December 17 following a request for postponement due to a scheduling conflict.

  • The legal dispute stems from a November 2022 incident on Hanouna's show, where he insulted Boyard during a live broadcast.
  • Hanouna faces a potential fine of up to 12,000 euros for public insults against a public official.
  • The altercation was sparked by Boyard's criticism of Vincent Bolloré, the owner of C8, regarding his business practices in Africa.
  • C8 was previously fined 3.5 million euros for failing to control its broadcast, a decision upheld by the Conseil d'État.
  • Hanouna has also filed a defamation lawsuit against Boyard, in response to Boyard's accusations of promoting racism.
