Apolline de Malherbe was, this Monday, October 2, the guest of the interview with Buzz TV for TV Magazine. She responded to attacks from Jean-Jacques Bourdin.
After an accusation of sexual assault from the former BFM TV weather miss, Fanny Agostini, Jean-Jacques Bourdin was ousted from the Altice group in 2022. Although he has always refuted these accusations and the affair has was dismissed, he quickly withdrew from the air of the continuous news channel and of RMC. It was the one who acted as his joker, Apolline de Malherbe, who resumed his famous political interview. The latter was the guest by Buzz TV this Monday, October 2 and reacted to the rather unkind comments of his former colleague.
Apolline de Malherbe leads a new political interview
Apolline de Malherbe assures her, she does not do the same thing as Jean-Jacques Bourdin and has created her own style. “I’m completely different and I never wanted to do Bourdin. Because first of all, I don’t know how to do it, I think he knows how to do Bourdin very well and I had a lot of respect for his way of interviewing“, she confides. For the journalist, she shares only two things with her predecessor: “great freedom and great frankness“. Apolline de Malherbe would still like to point out that Jean-Jacques Bourdin gave her very good advice: “when I started being his joker, we both had lunch and he said to me: ‘I have some advice to give you Apolline, be yourself'”. Since then, relations seem to have deteriorated between the two former colleagues.

The journalist reacts to the words of Jean-Jacques Bourdin
Since his ouster and his arrival on Sud Radio, on which he is face-to-face with Apolline de Malherbe, Jean-Jacques Bourdin has been quite virulent with his former channel. At the end of August, he claimed that the audiences for the political interview had fallen since his departure. Apolline de Malherbe wanted to react to his comments. “It seems like a bit of conspiratorial logic, I don’t want to get into that, I’m a little sorry, there’s room for everyone“, maintains the journalist. If the atmosphere was not good between the two competitors, these latest disagreements are not likely to help things.
