At the start of the new school year, after twenty years of collaboration, the host of France 2 separates from his producer due to a dispute related to the decision to stop “We are not lying”.

War is declared between Laurent Ruquier and Catherine Barma. In the columns of M, the magazine of World this weekend, the host revisited his “divorce” with his related producer to his decision to stop “We’re not asleep” whereas, due to the health crisis, France Télévisions had extended the program until December 2020. Catherine Barma would like the presenter of “Big Heads” on RTL to take responsibility for part of the redundancies which stem from this decision within her production company.

«She asked me to share the cost of dismissing a plethora of staff which I have never asked to be hired, except three of them! She even puts her family members to work!“, Annoys Laurent Ruquier. “Is it my fault that it is my ideas that have enabled his company to grow? Is it up to me to bear the costs of a production company unable to extend other shows than the ones I host?», He asks again.

“If she wants justice to be involved one day, we will settle this in the courts”

He would like to recall that “he’s had proposals from other producers for ten years ”. “I could also have produced the show alone. I was faithful and naive“, He adds before evoking the last of “ONPC” at the end of which he did not address a word for the former producer of Thierry Ardisson. The latter did not even make the trip to attend this final filming. “At the end of these twenty years, I wish I could say thank you. His hypocrisy, his cowardice, his venality prevent me “, he regrets before warning: “If she wants justice to be involved one day, we will settle this in the courts.”
