On November 9, 2026, French television personality Laurence Boccolini announced she had filed a formal police complaint after receiving severe online threats targeting her 13-year-old daughter, Willow. The threats included calls for rape and murder, appearing in private messages shared by Boccolini on Instagram alongside the notation 'PLAINTE DÉPOSÉE' (Complaint Filed). Boccolini, a chronicler on Cyril Hanouna's W9 show 'Tout beau, tout neuf,' revealed the context was triggered by a debate on October 13 where she criticized celebrities who instruct their audiences on voting for or against the National Rally (Rassemblement national).

In a subsequent appearance on her show, Boccolini expressed her distress, describing the messages as 'hyper violent.' She noted that some female viewers had allegedly endorsed the violent rhetoric directed at her family. Despite suffering from an inoperable cancer, Boccolini stood firm in her decision to pursue legal action, stating, 'I am filing a complaint in principle. I know well that nothing will happen and that we won't find him,' yet she cited the need to reject the normalization of such extreme hostility. She argued that public figures should focus on their professional craft, telling artists, 'Do good books, good plays, good films. Be good entertainers... After all, your opinion...' implying that personal political instruction from celebrities is inappropriate. [1]
