Frenchie Shore: the Minister of Culture denounces the controversial series



Frenchie Shorethe trashy show of the moment

It’s not just by offering quality programs that streaming platforms make headlines. Let’s remember Netflix and the “scandal” 365 days which gave rise to a petition to withdraw the erotic film. And we see it right now with Frenchie Shorethe reality show offered by Paramount+ and MTV France from November 11th.

The concept, on paper, is nothing particularly innovative. The show brings together ten young people in a villa in Cap d’Agde who leave the place only for small jobs. Only this time there was obviously an instruction given at casting: have people even trashier than usual, and who have no shame. Presented as “ten biggest partiers in France“, they are above all at the height of vulgarity.

Above all, the participants of Frenchie Shore I have no problem getting naked and having sex in front of the cameras. For this reason the show is prohibited for children under 16 years of age. Which did not fail to provoke a reaction Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak.

Pornography for the Minister of Culture

In an article by Parisianthe minister pointed the finger at the show and the fact that “anyone can find it on social media“. In fact, even though the program is broadcast on Paramount+ and MTV France, it didn’t take long before explicit excerpts made their way to Twitter or TikTok.

A situation that therefore worries Rima Abdul Malak who explains: “We’re on the verge of pornography, and it’s reality TV. We are not in the register of fiction, of a film or a series, with the hindsight that this implies. For teenagers who tell themselves this is the reality of human relationships, of sexual relationships, it can be a catastrophic introduction.“. For her, Frenchie Shore it is neither more nor less than “the trashiest reality show ever produced in France” and therefore asked Arcom to intervene and take action.

The show risks nothing

Only, as explained Expirationit is impossible that the Audiovisual and Digital Communications Regulatory Authority can intervene since Paramount+ and MTV France do not have not their head office in France, but in Germany and the Czech Republic. The president of Arcom would still have asked his German and Czech counterparts to do something. However, it would be impossible to condemn the production Frenchie Shore it sufficiently hides the sexual images and does not show the participants’ private parts.

On the producers’ side, we defend ourselves by stating that it is absolutely not pornography and that there is even something behind it something feminist…

Women take back the power, true female power exists. (…) These young people are very touching and were very respectful during the filming. They must not be reduced to vulgarity.

let’s remember it Frenchie Shore is an adaptation of the American show Jersey Shore, broadcast between 2009 and 2012. Other versions originated in the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. As for the dissemination of excerpts on TikTok, the platform has begun to take action deleting hundreds of videos associated with the hashtag #FrenchieShore.
