An insulting tweet signed by the official account by Jean-Pierre Foucault

The message at the origin of the controversy comes from the verified account of Jean-Pierre Foucault. Published in response to an Internet user who questioned him about the Miss France election. “Mr. Foucault, I found you particularly bad last night, you only read your teleprompter, weren’t very nice to the Misses and you didn’t even listen to the jury members’ answers. For me, it was the show that was too much. Good luck”blurted out a visibly annoyed Internet user.

Jean-Pierre Foucault was quick to respond. The tone of the message also contrasts with the usually measured communication of the host: “Generally Lajoie is preceded by Ducon”in reference to the “name” of the Internet user calling himself “Jean Lajoie” on the social network.
