Overview
- Boccolini announced her departure in a message relayed by AFP, saying she was leaving the public broadcaster with regret over contract demands she would not accept.
- France Télévisions acknowledged her decision, confirmed she will not present Mot de passe or other proposed prime-time shows, and wished her well.
- Planned Mot de passe tapings were halted at the eleventh hour, with candidates stood down and crews already engaged, causing what the producer described as financial loss.
- Producer Bruno Fallot moved quickly to keep the show on track, selecting former Miss France Camille Cerf to take over so recordings could restart without further delay.
- Boccolini has criticized the way her replacement on Les Enfants de la télé was handled and rebuked Faustine Bollaert’s late‑night “sorority” message, while Bollaert stressed programming decisions are made by the channel.
