Cyril Hanouna Responds to Former Collaborator Kelly Vedovelli Calling Him a “Big Ahole” – With Kindness
Cyril Hanouna, host of the popular French talk show Touche Pas à Mon Poste, addressed comments made by former columnist Kelly Vedovelli, who described him as possessing a “big ahole” side alongside his kindness. The exchange unfolded on television following Vedovelli’s candid answers to fan questions on social media.
Vedovelli’s remarks, initially shared online, detailed the complexities of working with hanouna, characterizing him as having a fluctuating personality. “He will have a side where we can clearly say that it is indeed a big c*nnard, but endowed with great kindness,” she explained, adding that navigating his emotions required constant assessment of “which antenna will direct it” at any given moment. She further noted his perceived social awkwardness despite his on-screen charisma.
Hanouna responded to Vedovelli’s assessment during a recent broadcast, characterizing her description as both “cute” and “spot on.” He stated, ”It didn’t bother me,” dismissing any suggestion of offense and demonstrating his characteristic relaxed demeanor.
The exchange highlights the often-unpredictable dynamic between Hanouna and his on-air talent, and offers a glimpse behind the scenes of one of France’s most-watched television programs. It also underscores Hanouna’s reputation for readily addressing and defusing perhaps controversial statements.
