Top 10 Most Hated Celebrities in France

These French celebrities are hated by many French people, for the right or wrong reasons.
The Top Ten
Gérard Depardieu

Very unattractive, monstrous. He fled to Russia, which some consider worse than France. Russia is viewed negatively.

Emmanuel Macron

Macron is a WEF puppet and has steered France down a slippery path at the expense of the legitimate citizens. The absurd immigration policies will haunt France, and it's become another country possessing "no-go" zones. At least he's not as incompetent and corrupt as Canada's Justin Trudeau, but it is time for him to go.

Every French president gets hate, but Macron has become the symbol of growing inequalities in France. He's also not as democratic as he pretends to be and is the reason why politics in France are doomed.

Gims

This French singer and rapper, formerly known as Maitre Gims, is best known for being the leader of the French rap group Sexion d'Assaut, which disbanded, and for his hugely successful solo career. Despite his music being extremely popular, he has a fair share of haters who accuse him of selling out and consider his lyrics shallow or pretentious.

He was even booed by the audience when he performed a halftime show during the Coupe de la Ligue final in the Stade de France. He is also a conspiracy theorist who believes Egyptians received electricity with the Giza pyramids and told people to stop wishing him "happy new year."

Eric Zemmour

This far-right politician is notorious for his sexist and racist views. He also ran in the 2022 presidential elections but was unsuccessful.

Nabilla Benattia

She is essentially the French version of Kim Kardashian, except less intelligent.

Cyril Hanouna
Kev Adams

This comedian was well-liked among French teens during the 2010s, but most adults find his humor childish and dislike it. He is also perceived as not being very nice as a person.

Aya Nakamura
Roman Polanski Raymond Roman Thierry Polański (né Liebling. Born August 18, 1933) is a French-Polish film director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and convicted sex offender. He is best known for Repulsion (1965), Rosemary's Baby (1968), and Chinatown (1974)... read more

Creepy person. It's unfortunate that the industry is filled with creeps, predators, and scary people, overshadowing the talented and good individuals.

Marine Le Pen Marion Anne Perrine "Marine" Le Pen is a French politician and lawyer serving as President of the National Rally political party since 2011, with a brief interruption in 2017. She has been the member of the National Assembly for Pas-de-Calais's 11th constituency since 18 June 2017.

The daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen took over as president of the Front National (now called Rassemblement National). Although she is considered more moderate than her father, she still faces significant dislike from many.

The Contenders
Jean-Marie Le Pen

Founder of the Front National, France's official far-right political party, Jean-Marie Le Pen is infamous for his conservative and extremist views and opinions. He has been accused of racism and antisemitism multiple times, leading to his dismissal from the Front National in 2015 after his daughter Marine took over as president of the party.

Nicolas Sarkozy
Dominique Strauss-Kahn

The former IMF boss was beloved and seen as the biggest contender to win the 2012 French presidential elections until his 2011 arrest for allegedly raping a hotel maid at the Sofitel in New York City.

Mata Hari
Brigitte Bardot Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot is a French former actress, singer and fashion model, who later became an animal rights activist.

She was beloved as an actress, but ever since she retired from acting in 1973, she became infamous for her hostile positions towards Islam in France, especially since the 1990s, and for her animal rights activism, which was uncommon back in the day.

Vincent Cassel

This once-beloved French actor has recently come under fire for stating that men are becoming "too feminine," suggesting it could be a problem. Many have accused him of misogyny.

Masculinity is fragile. Also, has he heard of "metrosexual"? That's a term that describes a lot of European men.

Stéphane Plaza

This famous TV host was accused of violent threats by some of his ex-girlfriends. These threats include "love-bombing," which is a form of manipulation used by narcissistic perverts.

Jean-Marc Morandini

Very creepy and repulsive. Also, why are there so many people named Jean in France?

This TV host has faced accusations of harassing and corrupting minors.

Francois Hollande

The former French president was infamous for his apathy and lack of pragmatism. He is also cited as the reason for the decline of the French left wing.

Enora Malagré

This TV presenter and journalist is infamous for her uncompromising attitude and lack of filter. She often finds herself in arguments with her colleagues.

Karim Benzema Karim Mostafa Benzema is a French professional footballer of Algerian descent who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the France national team as a striker.

He may be beloved in the football world, but Benzema's history with French football team fans is very uneven. First, he was seen as a promising young player. Then, there was the Zahia scandal in 2010, where he admitted to having had a sexual relationship with the titular escort girl when she was still underage.

In late 2015, the "sextape blackmail" scandal broke out and tarnished his reputation. This caused him to be blacklisted by Didier Deschamps from the French national team between 2015 and 2021. His popularity may have gone up again since, but the French national team will always be a bit of a missed opportunity for him. His distant attitude with French football fans didn't help either.

Yann Moix

This French writer, journalist and movie director has strong opinions that have generated controversy in France.

Alessandra Sublet

Another TV host who is hated for being overly dramatic and campy.

Thierry Ardisson
Nicolas Bedos
