Marie (her first name has been changed) did not wait for #MeToo and its procession of revelations. From the summer of 2017, this young journalist, freelance, believing to have been the victim of sexual harassment and to have been evicted from the program on which she was collaborating for having denounced these facts, had attacked her employer, the C8 channel, in court. On September 30, she won at the Versailles Court of Appeal, compensated for the miracle sum of… 4,000 euros. But the case is not over because C8 (a subsidiary of Canal +, of the Bolloré group) is coming, according to his lawyer Me Eric Manca, to appeal in cassation.
The facts date back to the end of 2016. Marie, 24 years old at the time, precarious on the program “Langue de bois s’abstenir” (LBDA), presented by Philippe Labro on C8, works one day on a channel, one day on another, as is often done on TV. That fall, C8 employed him for 14 days over four months. Also, when the editor of the show, who is about to leave his post, dangles the possibility of replacing him, she is more than interested. But, in parallel, the texts sent to him by the one who can change his career establish an ambiguous working relationship, as evidenced by the SMS produced in court. We are very far from a case with the PPDA, rather in a kind – alas – of banality.
