Last March, Marie Portolano published a book entitled “Je suis la femme du plateau”, published by Editions Stock. In this work, the journalist reiterates her accusations towards Pierre Ménès, whom she had already mentioned in her 2021 documentary “I am not a slut, I am a journalist”.
The former sniper of “Canal Football Club” decided to file a complaint for public defamation with the filing of a civil suit against Marie Portolano and her publisher.
“Three years after breaking my career with her documentary, she decided to make a book. She devotes four and a half pages to this story, without mentioning me.he explained on his YouTube channel.

And the former employee of Canal+ to continue:
“My lawyer isolated eight cases of defamation, I chose two: the first is when she says that I admitted to having lifted her skirt, which is a lie. The second is that she said that I had superior rights over the girls and women who worked with me, with the blessing of my bosses.”
As for Marie Portolano, she had chosen not to pursue her ex-colleague in court. “He became seriously ill at that time and, ultimately, what I experienced was less than life-threatening. He was fighting for his life, me against misogyny”she confided last March, while promoting her book.
