The sequence had caused a lot of talk, three weeks ago live in “Touche pas à mon Poste”. Gilles Verdez had indeed revealed, in front of the singer Francky Vincent, that the latter was an “admirer” of Dieudonné:
“Me, what shocks me, Mr. Vincent, it’s not your words, it’s your adoration for Dieudonné. On the channel of Alain Soral, a far-right essayist, you still said: I vow to him unconditional admiration, all the respect in the world. Dieudonné is an anti-Semite, condemned as such. (…)
How can you say that? Do you condone Dieudonné’s anti-Semitism? Does it bother you to appear at the Bal de la quenelle? If you support anti-Semitism, you are an anti-Semite!”
Benjamin Castaldi, Jean-Marie Bigard and Guillaume Genton had then come to the defense of the singer who in a clumsy sentence even replied “do not condemn anti-Semitism”, explaining that he was not a judge.
This afternoon, Francky Vincent announces in the Parisianthat he decided to sue for defamation, the star columnist of TPMP, Gilles Verdez:
“I attacked Gilles Verdez for defamation. I am suspected of being a sympathizer of anti-Semites because I sang a song in 2019 at the Bal des quenelles in Dieudonné. While my wife is Semitic, that I had a child with a Semitic mestizo… I take this seriously.”
