Overview
- Arcom published six formal decisions on July 7 that reprimand W9 for passages of Tout beau, tout n9uf aired between September 15 and December 1, 2025.
- The regulator singled out ethnicized insults by guest Pierre‑Jean Chalençon that called Rachida Dati “the queen of couscous” and sexist insults by Jean‑Marie Bigard aimed at minister Aurore Bergé.
- Arcom warned W9 about broadcasting a Didier Raoult claim linking COVID vaccination to a rise in cancers and urged caution about sharing controversial clips on the show's X account.
- A Gilles Verdez chronology was judged to present a partial, accusatory account of a hospital limitation‑of‑treatment case, which Arcom said showed a lack of context and a failure to master the antenna.
- The rulings are formal regulatory reminders rather than new fines, and they increase pressure on Métropole Télévision and Groupe M6 to tighten fact‑checking, guest oversight and on‑air moderation for a high‑reach show that averaged about 1.3 million viewers in its first season.
