A woman was sexually assaulted on live French TV and the audience simply laughed

This behaviour is absolutely shocking.

In France, one TV host was attempting to break a record for the longest running episode of his show on French channel, TPMP. Cyril Hanouna was trying to have his show broadcasting for 35 hours, with the hashtag #35HoursofBaba trending on social media channels but one segment of the show outraged many viewers. In this certain segment, Cyril bizarrely set up a recreation of the recent robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris for entertainment purposes, getting a 21-year-old model Soraya to play the role of Kim, locked in her room. As show panellist Jean-Michel Maire was given the task of 'freeing' Soraya from her room, things suddenly took a darker turn after Soraya and Jean-Michel rejoined Cyril. Cyril began telling Soraya to kiss Jean-Michel for rescuing her but when the model refused, Cyril continued insisting she 'reward' her rescuer. After lewd insinuations from Jean-Michel saying that they could "do it backstage", he leans in to Soraya and when she turns away from his advances, he kisses her breast.

The amount of male entitlement in this video is beyond disturbing. How can anyone think this is okay? pic.twitter.com/3ZX2GHdxJg

Following the ignorance of both Cyril and Jean-Michel in not listening to Soraya's choice to not be kissed, fans everywhere were furious with France's watchdog, CSA, getting 250 complaints about the show.

@Brown_Saraah I wish she slapped him hard in the face right then and there. I hope he doesn't get away with it. — Hinapervaiz (@hinapervaiz11) October 16, 2016

@Brown_Saraah Poor woman. The look on her face... how nasty of them.
