” Koh Lanta is a game ”. It is with these words that Denis Brogniart called for calm, after a very hectic week for fans of the TF1 show. The host was forced to react after the death threats received by some adventurers since the revelation of the cheating of Teheiura, one of the favorites of the last iteration of the show, subtitled The legend.
In the last episode, the candidate confessed to having asked for food from a passer-by, and to have eaten twice, in particular… a steak and fries. Not really an adventurer’s menu trying to survive with the means at hand. After Teheiura’s elimination, many other participants were threatened by angry internet users. What to revolt Denis Brogniart. “Intolerable, unspeakable, abject, revolting and condemnable messages against the adventurers of #kohlanta on social networks. THAT’S ENOUGH. TOTAL SUPPORT ”, he writing on Twitter, while relaying the press release of the show.
“Despite the many reminders to calm, the adventurers of Koh Lanta continue to receive name-calling and death threats. No adventurer has denounced Teheiura on the fact that he received food on the camp. Teheiura alone confessed his moment of bewilderment. No event related to this game gives the right to send insults, threats and hate messages. We formally denounce this kind of behavior ”, we can read.
React
Several adventurers of the show, including Christelle and Coumba, did not hesitate to denounce on social networks or on television the insults received. In TPMP this week, Coumba had confided to having been the victim of racist messages, to which she felt obliged to react. “I tell myself that we cannot leave this kind of phenomenon. Whether people don’t agree with my strategies, whether they call me a hypocrite or a traitor, I accept it. But they tell me “Dirty black, go home chimpanzee, go eat bananas”, at some point … “, she said
Explain.
