Cosmetics Executive Suspended for Islamophobic Tweets Against TV Personality

Friday 1 March 2019, by Said

The Marketing Director of the Nocibé cosmetics chain was suspended yesterday following his Islamophobic tweets posted in response to Yassine Belattar’s decision to resign from the LCI news channel for his open support for Éric Zemmour.

Alain Bizeul, that’s his name, had strongly reacted on February 19 on his personal Twitter account by commenting on the decision of the Franco-Moroccan. "Good riddance you Islamist scum. You make my day," he had written on Twitter in reaction to this resignation. To an Internet user who called him a "fascist", the Nocibé executive goes further and writes: "Go fuck yourself you fucking Islamist bitch... You must be used to it with your degenerate family."

Faced with the controversy sparked by these tweets, Nocibé initially reacted by stating that "Alain Bizeul took private positions on Twitter. We in no way endorse these remarks which are totally at odds with our values and in no way commit Nocibé," a response that did not at all please the Internet users who called for a boycott of the brand. "Boycott Nocibé as long as he’s with you... Signed: A Muslim scum."

The decision to suspend him was finally made in the late afternoon, report several media. It will now be up to the cosmetics chain to restore its image with the Muslim community and others, and for Alain Bizeul to find another job!
