This week, Secret Story made a colorful return for a new season, drawing enthusiastic reactions from viewers. However, one contestant has sparked controversy, being accused of racism due to comments made during the show and problematic posts on social media.
Théo Faces Accusations of Racism
Théo, a contestant on Secret Story 2025, has been accused of racist behavior after making a joke about the skin color of another contestant, Anita. During a live segment inside the “House of Secrets,” Théo asked Anita, “What’s your favorite movie?“

Before Anita could respond, he suggested, “Case départ?“, referring to a comedic film that deals with slavery. This remark did not sit well with viewers, many of whom also discovered concerning posts on Théo’s social media accounts.
As the controversy continues to grow on social media, TF1’s production team has yet to release an official statement.
Online Backlash Against Théo
Viewers swiftly took to X to express their outrage, with many calling for Théo to be removed from the show.
Anita – What’s your favorite type of movie?
Théo – French.
Am I in a joke here? I’m gonna pull him out of that house myself.— VI’s sidechick and Uzui’s 4th wife (@thedrama0) June 13, 2025
It’s not just insensitive language (see his TikTok reposts too), he plays the bad boy without substance, isolates Ethan (harassment vibes) and I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes remarks about Aïmed. Anyway, let’s leave him to find his car (just kidding, that’s horrible).

Théo really needs to go; he’s just a nuisance, is uninteresting, and his comments are extremely inappropriate #SecretStoryLeLive #secretstory pic.twitter.com/FHlnNhz0LD

I wake up and see people trying to downplay Théo associating a Black contestant with a movie about slavery #secretstory
