complaint

Licensed in 1997 of the channel TF1 to have cheated during the famous game it’s a Knockout, Olivier Chiabodo complaint today for “moral harassment” and accuses Gérard Louvin, his ex-producer. Explanations.

The career of Olivier Chiabodo has experienced ups and downs. In 1997, the presenter was dismissed for the first time TF1 after having cheated during the game that he had, Intercity. He was then accused of having indicated with his fingers the answers to the questions asked during a quiz. The first string had then filed a complaint against X, and had been dismissed for serious misconduct. Twenty years after the fact, Olivier Chiabodo re-opens the folder. In fact, according to our confreres of Paris, the facilitator has decided to file a complaint in turn against X for ” harassment “ to the prosecutor of Nanterre.

In parallel, Olivier Chiabodo accuses Gérard Louvin, his former producer, which he considers as one of the leaders of this scandal. When he was still at the presentation of the game, the announcer was wearing a headset. According to him, it was only to follow the indications of the producer who was well aware of promoting a team. Worse, Olivier Chiabodo reportedly received death threats in 2010 in the premises of the first string : “My client has long kept silence by coercion. For years, TF1 oscillated between various moral pressure and multiple professional pressures, creating a climate of tension unbearable. After having met with the opprobrium, and then the isolation, Olivier Chiabodo desire today to meet the justice and, thus, reveal what he knows “, said today his lawyer in Paris.

By evoking once again this accusation of cheating, Olivier Chiabado thus breaks the confidentiality agreement signed with TF1 in 1997. It no longer has any tie with the string as the end of his contract – after he was rehired in 2006 – has been signed in 2016…
