In 2019, after 25 years of good and loyal service, Patrick Sebastian had been ousted from France Télévisions. The former host of Biggest Cabaret in the world or some happy years had at the time castigated a decision taken because he was “a white man over 50 years old”. He had also filed a complaint against the group, which had been ordered to pay 652,251 euros to his company for “sudden termination of commercial relations”. An amount below his expectations! Since then, the acrobat regularly has harsh words against his ex-employer. “I let their stuff do their thing, I don’t watch their shows. I watch TPMP, I watch things that amuse me like Netflix. And I watch rugby“, he had, for example, indicated on the set of Do not touch My TV.
Patrick Sébastien is still waiting for his invitation to It’s up to you
Asked by Jordan De Luxe on his show At Jordan’s on his current relationship with France Télévisions, Patrick Sébastien made new revelations, going so far as to affirm that he was completely blacklisted on the public service. “That is to say that on France Télévisions, you can have a criminal, a dealer, a pimp… but I don’t”, he asserted. “There are orders”, he added. We will not see him, for example, promoting his latest work on the set of It’s up to youthe France 5 talk show. “I sent a note to Anne-Elisabeth [Lemoine] because I like it. She said : ‘No, no, you’re not blacklisted. I’m taking care of it’. That was about a month ago.” he detailed. He is still waiting for his invitation ever since.

“They Don’t Like Me”
“It’s not her fault. They have orders”, he hammered. And the approach would go very far according to the artist, since the simple fact of mentioning Patrick Sébastien on the air would be prohibited. “I have a few friends who are journalists at France 3. When we went to the regions, they said to me: ‘We are going to do a report on Le Cabaret’. They were forbidden“, he advanced. “I don’t blame them. It’s people who don’t like me and don’t like the public I represent”, he added. As the former host recalls, he did not make any objectionable remarks “sexist or racist”which could justify this attitude. “People tell me : ‘You swayed a bit on the public service, they boycotted you’. I say, ‘no, you did things backwards. It is because I was boycotted, that I swung on the public service”, he concluded.
