In an interview with "Télé-Loisirs", Laurent Ruquier went behind the scenes of his departure from France 2. The star of the PAF claims to have been warned at the last moment of the cessation of some of his programs and to have been treated as a "dirty". We will find him next Monday on BFMTV.

The pill still hasn't passed. Laurent Ruquier still resents the management of France 2 for having deleted shows for the new television season... It was this decision of the chain that made him leave the ship. "When you stay so many years in a house like France 2, it's really indelicate to warn someone at the end of June of what we are not going to do with him the following season. That's really what made me angry and that's why I decided to leave, even if Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez insisted that I stay to do Les enfants de la télé," explains the host in an interview with Télé-Loisirs.

"I was warned at the last moment"

"For me, trust was broken. We have the right not to employ people, but we can be elegant with them and have respect for the past...", lamented the host. "I was warned at the last moment as a mess and as if I did not count on this channel," said Laurent Ruquier, still angry with France 2. The star of the PAF will now turn the page by arriving on BFMTV on Monday, September 25. He will co-host a current affairs program with LCI defector Julie Hammett. "I had the news channel option in mind for two or three years because I knew I was out of favor on France 2," he concluded.

"I no longer have the confidence of the management of France 2"

Laurent Ruquier's statements are not surprising. Last July, when announcing his departure from France 2, the host had explicitly pointed the finger at the chain in a message shared on Instagram. "I would like to thank the viewers for their trust and loyalty, constantly renewed. This confidence, for three seasons, I no longer have it from the management of France 2. It's a shame but that's the way it is," he said.
