Sophie Davant spoke on the Twitch channel Isa TV, Isabelle Morini-Bosc's channel. The presenter explained the reasons for her departure from France Télévisions, where she had worked for many years. She maintains that her departure was not due to an open conflict with the public broadcaster. She explained that she had worked at France Télévisions for a long time in a positive environment, without any particular problems with management. She said she had been "treated rather well"but ended up feeling a lack of professional consideration.
The feeling of no longer evolving
Sophie Davant describes a situation in which she felt she was no longer being approached for new projects: “I’ve always worked at France Télévisions, I’d been there for a very long time. I had no problems with them, I was treated quite well, but I had the impression that I wasn’t entrusted with anything else, like a piece of furniture that’s no longer looked at because it’s been there for a long time.”she said. The presenter thus evokes a form of stagnation, with the feeling of being settled in the landscape without any new perspectives being offered to her.
France 2's response was deemed too slow
Sophie Davant indicates that she shared her concerns with France 2. According to her, the channel's response took a long time to arrive, which reinforced her impression of not being sufficiently considered. "When I spoke to France 2 about it, they took a very long time to respond. So I thought that wasn't very nice of them."she explained. She believes that a clearer or faster response could have changed the situation.
A desire for recognition
The presenter claims that she could have stayed if France Télévisions had shown her more commitment or offered her a concrete prospect. "Honestly, if they had tried to keep me, perhaps by offering me a bonus from time to time, by showing me how much they cared about me, I think I would have stayed.", she confided.
The choice to pursue other desires
Having felt that there was no desire to retain her, Sophie Davant explains that she chose to move on to new opportunities. "I didn't necessarily feel that from them. So I went towards the desires of others."she concluded.
