The disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) has opened an investigation after the throwing of a projectile which targeted DAZN journalist Ambre Godillon during the Ligue 1 match OM-Auxerre at the Vélodrome stadium, on November 8, announced Wednesday the LFP.
“In view of the incident which occurred during the Olympique de Marseille – AJ Auxerre meeting, the Disciplinary Commission of the LFP decides to put the case under investigation,” indicated the League, which then clarified to AFP that the investigation focused on the projectile received by the DAZN journalist. The disciplinary committee will make its decision on November 27, 2024, added the body.
Shortly before half-time of the OM-Auxerre match, lost by the Marseillais (3-1), Ambre Godillon, former presenter of PSG TV, was the victim of a projectile which hit her under the eye. The Vélodrome speaker asked the public to stop throwing objects. OM apologized to the journalist as well as to DAZN.
“DAZN strongly condemns this intolerable and unworthy act,” the channel then reacted, requested by AFP, specifying that it “will take all necessary measures, in particular legal measures, to guarantee the safety of its teams. »
Victim of cyberbullying
The journalist, guest on the L’Équipe channel, confided, once the messages of support had passed, that she was the victim of a wave of online cyberharassment from pseudo-supporters online. “I just tell myself that there are definitely idiots in the stadiums and that they should have nothing to do there. But if I can take advantage of talking about it, for two days I have still been experiencing a sort of reverse wave of cyberharassment,” she said.
“I have to admit that I received a lot of messages from the whole profession and I thought it was great. But conversely, the Marseille supporters, from the moment the club spread the idea that it was accidental… A priori I am supposed, according to all those who attack me, to apologize today because it was accidental,” she lamented.
