Update 6:02 pm: The production company ALP which produces Koh Lanta, will seize the Public Prosecutor of Paris of the words and threats of which several competitors of the last edition of Koh-Lanta were victims. These facts are punishable by three years’ imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros.
An investigation should be launched to identify the perpetrators and initiate proceedings. Koh-Lanta is a family program and it is intolerable that its competitors have to deal with such a spill of hate. ALP will be vigilant to respect everyone and will take legal action whenever necessary.
This weekend, a few hours after the broadcast of the weekly episode of “Koh Lanta” on TF1, several contestants of the game received numerous insults and threats from Internet users on social networks.
During a live on Instagram, the game host Denis Brogniart spoke. “I would like to tell you my disgust, my dismay and my anger also at the hateful, scandalous messages received by certain adventurers: Régis, Inès, Charlotte, Alexandra and, before, Ahmad. In what world do we live? How can we threaten with death, insult, promise the worst to adventurers on “Koh-Lanta”? “he said, angry.
And to add: “99.9% of the people who are watching their television are people who are passionate about adventure. These messages are the work of a tiny minority of embittered and jealous. People who deserve At least contempt. The worst is that everyone, or almost, rages on condition of anonymity, without the courage of their words, hiding behind a phony pseudonym. Have the courage to sign your pathetic protests, your insults, so that ‘we can identify you “.
Denis Brogniart recalled that “Koh Lanta”, “it’s a game. Everyone has the right to hope to win”.
