He describes these accusations as "ridiculous", explaining that as a child, "in the midst of these great families from Algeria, I was always surrounded by women, my mother of course but also her sisters, my grandmothers. women of my childhood, even more than men, forged my character, "he says.
He also explains being a defender of women, in particular because he points the finger at "Islamic civilization so cruel with women", while feminists "look away and talk to us about inclusive writing".

Eric Zemmour is himself accused of sexual assault, according to several testimonies of women collected by Mediapart, but no complaint has been announced against him.
The accusations of racism and fascism come from his numerous declarations on Islam, or even Marshal Pétain. He indeed assured that the latter and the Vichy regime had saved French Jews during World War II, an assertion denied by historians.
Éric Zemmour has, on the other hand, been condemned several times for incitement to hatred, in particular for attacks on Muslims.
