This week, Secret Story made its grand return for a new season with a colorful first episode, to which Internet users reacted enthusiastically. However, one candidate is not unanimous, and is even accused of racism following comments during the show and posts deemed problematic on social media.
Théo, a candidate deemed racist
Théo, a candidate on Secret Story 2025, is accused of racism after "joking" about the skin color of Anita, another candidate. During a live broadcast inside the Secret House, we can see the young man asking Anita, another participant in the show, "What's your favorite movie?".
It's crazy to say that, he's so racist pic.twitter.com/3YLUWBemdw

Even before If she could answer him, he suggests the answer, "Case départ?", a humorous film dealing with slavery. A reference that did not go down well with Internet users, who also found "dubious" posts on his social networks.
While the controversy swells on social networks, TF1 production has not yet expressed itself through an official statement.
Internet users denounce Théo's racism
Viewer reactions were quick to appear on X, several of them demanding that Théo be "fired" from the show.
Anita - What is your favorite type of film? ?

Théo - French.
Like? Am I here? I'm going to get him out of this house myself
Well, he has borderline racist lyrics (on his tik tok reposts too), he acts like a cheap bad boy, he pushes Ethan aside (stalker vibes) and I wouldn't be surprised if he made comments about Aimed. Anyway let's let him find his car (just kidding, that's horrible)

I wake up and see people trying to downplay the fact that Theo associates a black resident with a film about slavery #secretstory
