France Télévisions Chief Files Complaint Over Patrick Sébastien’s Explicit Song

Overview

• France Télévisions confirmed that Delphine Ernotte Cunci filed a complaint accusing Patrick Sébastien of “sexist and sexual outrage,” a French offense that covers public insults with sexist or sexual content.
• The government’s equality minister, Aurore Bergé, publicly called the lyrics disgusting and said Ernotte was right to seek legal redress.
• The track targeting Ernotte appears on Sébastien’s album Olé Osé, volume 2, which he promotes as very crude and previously unreleased songs.
• Sébastien accepted authorship and said the song was deliberate exaggeration, calling it total and voluntary outrage in a radio interview.
• No court decision has been reported, which keeps attention on the long‑running feud over his 2015 ouster from public TV and the broader debate over free expression and accountability for sexist speech.
