So it rebalances, it is very good. But I do not want my difference to be put to the ésewers…“, he remarked.
Patrick Sébastien believes he was fired from France 2 because of his physical appearance
Now aged 71, Patrick Sébastien returned to his dismissal from the France 2 channel five years ago. According to him, his physical appearance had something to do with it. “I was fired for that, anyway: 'White man over fifty.' If you had said that to me at the time, I would have said 'shit', anyway“, he said without taking precautions.
“Normally, çthat should be forbidden by law, we don't have the right to fire someone because of their age, their gender or their skin color. Today, we're going to avoid people like me. There's still Jean-Luc Reichmann, who gets by. But it's like çthat“, he assured.
Did Patrick Sébastien give too much freedom to his guests ?
Still very annoyed by his ouster, a few days ago, on the set of Chez Jordan, he felt that the fact that he gave great freedom to the guests of his shows could also be at the origin of the decision taken by the public group. He had notably told Jeff Panacloc to go as far as he wanted with his jokes.
“It's that I knew what people liked and I told him: 'Above all, don't hold back, if there's trouble, it's for me' (…) çthat was also part of the fact that I was fired at one time because on that, I'm intractable“, he had still declared.
