Since the charges of sexual misconduct made by Safia Nolin aiming Maripier Morin, the latter first saw its contracts with Blush, BonLook and Buick Canada stop.
Then, his nominations at the Artis Gala and the 35th Gémeaux Awards have been withdrawn before Bell Media, Videotron and Radio-Canada remove all content in which the star appeared. This Friday, three major groups representing workers in the cultural sector have also criticized the withdrawal from the series The Fault of Club illico in a press release stating that such a decision injured the craftsmen of the work because of a single individual, despite the seriousness of his actions and words.
On the public side, the gripe of some is also heard to the point that a petition was launched this Wednesday to request the return of Maripier Morin. According to the instigator of the movement, the fate reserved for the animator is unfair and a sign of relentlessness.
« Knowing that Maripier Morin has not had a criminal conviction or a lawsuit.
Knowing that Maripier apologized to Safia Nolin.
Knowing that error is human.
We ask the media and Maripier’s business partners to stop condemning her, to go on exaggeratingly, destroying her career and her professional future prospects.
We therefore request the return of the full catalog of projects in which Maripier has participated. Out of respect for her as well as for the craftsmen who worked on these projects, we find it unacceptable to do as she never existed within the artistic milieu. », Can be read on the petition website.
The movement has since succeeded in rallying close to 70,000 signers, despite admission of the facts by Maripier Morin last week. She also put her professional activities on pause, recognizing the need for therapy to understand her actions and get the help she needs.
Also note that the petition takes a position against Safia Nolin by making insulting remarks about her. The singer also receives great support, however, and thanked those who believe her..
