“He gave him a right”: Fabien Lecoeuvre hospitalized after a punch from Stéphane Tapie, during a Cyril Hanouna show

Fabien Lecoeuvre, one of the columnists of Cyril Hanouna’s show, has been hospitalized since Friday after being hit by another columnist, Stéphane Tapie, the columnist’s collaborator said on Sunday, confirming information from Le Figaro.

“The incident occurred during an advertising page” of “Tout beau tout 9”, on the W9 channel. “Stéphane Tapie dealt a violent blow to Fabien Lecoeuvre’s head on the set, in front of the public,” declared Laurent Abrial, collaborator of Fabien Lecoeuvre. “During the advert, Stéphane Tapie approached Fabien Lecoeuvre while he was chatting with other people and he hit him in the temple,” one of the spectators of “TBT9” told us, a spectator told Le Figaro.

“Cyril Hanouna had just asked each of his columnists with whom they would not go on vacation. Fabien Lecoeuvre responded Stéphane Tapie due to a long-standing quarrel between the latter and Claude François junior, of whom Fabien is a close friend. »

“We thought he was dead”

“We thought he was dead,” other witnesses also said, seeing the celebrity columnist inanimate. Stéphane Tapie had to be expelled from the set by extremely agitated and vehement security personnel.

“After the advertising page, the show resumed normally”, but his condition required “the intervention of the firefighters, who took care of him behind the scenes of the studio shortly after the end of the show”, continued Laurent Abrial. Fabien Lecoeuvre’s lawyer, Stéphane Loisy “intends to file a complaint in the coming days”, he added.

Contacted, the W9 channel had not yet reacted at the end of the afternoon.
