Controversy and criticism
In an interview with Le Parisien on 20 November 2023, Rima Abdul Malak, French Minister of Culture, criticises Frenchie Shore, explaining that the programme "borders on pornography" and is concerned about access to the programme by minors.[8]
On 13 December 2023, Roch-Olivier Maistre, president of Arcom, announced during a hearing in the French Senate that he had contacted the authorities of the Czech Republic and Germany, countries where the parent companies of Paramount+ and MTV France are located, to ensure compliance with current legislation.[9] He also specifies that Arcom has intervened on the main social networks to speed up the moderation of content accessible online.[10]
On 24 November 2023, the producer of the programme Arthur responds to the criticism by explaining that the format has existed for several years abroad and that in France it is not accessible to everyone, stressing the need for a paid subscription to access the content; “Frenchie Shore is as profitable as a Canal+ porn film on Saturday nights, although we are not at that level either”.[11]
